LukeFF 6136 Posted September 16, 2019 Not gonna happen. 2 prototype planes don't make for something that should be added. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JG51_Beazil 552 Posted September 16, 2019 Nice to have, but probably more trouble than it's worth in terms of development and for server admins. Plus Luke holds the main reason over my head like a sign, or post, or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
US63_SpadLivesMatter 830 Posted September 16, 2019 Nah, to be considered it needs to have appeared on a minimum of 22 LaGGs. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rolling_Thunder 461 Posted September 16, 2019 I often think that the folk who ask for these mega cannons are over compensating for something. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyDuck 537 Posted September 17, 2019 I can't imagine how a single 50 mm cannon could be more effective than a quartet of Mk 108s. Yes it would have longer range, but probability of a direct hit at distances above 600 m makes this like shooting a sniper rifle from the back of a galloping horse towards another one half a mile away. And not to even start about ammo-count. 360× 30mm shells vs what... 20× 50mm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The high velocity and good accuracy of the cannon also helps to diminish the error of the gyro sight (ballistic drop and the time it takes the bullet to reach the target). Afaik the Me 410s using the 50mm had telescopic sights, so if the gun is set to a 700 meters convergence or so you could just park at the 6 o clock of the bomber at that distance, hold still and fire, at such distances the gun wouldn't have trouble hitting a target the size of a heavy bomber, it comes from the Pz III's KwK 39.
