Drag Penalty for 13mm is

[-332FG-SGTSAUSAGE138]

I took a few hits from 2x13mm in the P-47 while running at 350mph IAS and my plane instantly lost 50+mph. This is ridiculous especially when 6 or 8 .50's cause little or no drag effect. 13mm is a ballistically inferior .50 BMG but 2 of them out perform 8. This correction is long overdue.

Yeah performance of all heavy machine gun high explosive bullets have been like this for ages but wait for the Devs to have a look at the damage model when they have time. It's the only thing really to do for this subject talked about many times in the past

This has been well documented and noted for two years. It is fundamentally gamebreaking and completely unfair and you ask us to wait for them to have time?

 

They've HAD time. It's time for them to fix it.

They seem to have time for everything else like putting the stars in the right places (a critical fix obviously), but gun fixing must be in the subbasement next to the sump pump.

It's not just how HE is acting in game, it's the drag penalty associated with it as well. in some cases your getting more drag from HE hits than if you were to fly around with your gear down. Makes absolutely no sense. Last night on finnish I took 3 HE hits to my left wing. Was in a hard right turn and it rolled my plane almost 180 degrees to the left and i went in. Super frustrating when you hit other planes and the same thing can't happen.
