MC 202 with cannon on MP?

[polisheagle1939]

I was interested in getting back into flying the MC 202 but I was wondering how many multiplayer sites let you have the version with cannon.  It’s  standard armament  is pretty weak. Thanks for your replies

Its not very common when loadouts are limited but its around depending on the server.  The 12.7s seem to treat me better than mg151/20's in mp, not as weak as many think

The basically 50 calibers of the 202 are decent guns and we get 400 of them for each barrel. These will not rip right through a large target so it is key to focus fire on the wings or engine. Also the 7.7s offer no disadvantage in taking them so I always do.

 

The 20mm cannon pods are nice. Though they run out of ammo quick and then we are stuck with flying around with dead weight and drag.

The standard armament of the Macchi is not bad, take the wing machineguns if you want a little more punch. Remember also that the gunsight is set for a convergence setting of 250 meters along with the weapons. Against all metallic planes the Bredas have some issues on long distance shooting but they are quite effective on the Soviet Planes we have in game.
