Aircraft guns/cannon don't do enough damage

The latest Air Battle game from Microsoft! Running on an entirely new platform, CFS3 is raising it's fair share of problems & opinions - Good & Bad!

I did a number of runs with an Fw-190 firing only cannons, with all rounds fired into the fuselage from directly behind.  Every time the B-26 continued on for a about a minute (before I reset the scenario to try again) as if nothing was wrong.

I know the number of hits per kill is an average, but I feel I'm exceeding the average by several times with no result.  It just doesn't seem realistic.

And instead of asking me not to complain, why don't you just not read my messages?

I have read all your messages. One or two complaints is alright but you seem to be complaining about everything there is to complain about. Next you'll be saying that the torque is too light or that the canopy is not clear enough and you can't quite see the pixle that is an enemy 5 million miles away.

Most of your problems are with the game its self and your flying it seems and none of us can help you there. So please stop complaining so much.

Kinda hard when you fill up half the board with complaints.

first of all here is a pic of me killing a b26 with gun effectiveness at norman (least effective) and i was using a Bf-109 G-6 with no gun pods and i killed it using less then half my ammo. this means i killed it with 70 rounds of one 20mm where your claiming you cant kill it with 200+ rounds from 4 guns.

second if your having problems with gun effectiveness, then turn it up to strong or strongest...

If you need more power in your guns - try the cannon on the Mosquito. Its more like a tank gun. Takes some aiming but will take down a bomber with less than one shot - okay one then.

Mustang, I said 50 rounds (total, not per gun), not 200.
