Kurfuerst posted this on the DCS forum; thought I'd repost it. Devastating effectiveness.

I've seen better versions of this but it's probably the same test just a different hit (wing).

S!

 

 There were also a pic of a Blenheim fuselage being hit by a 30mm round in RAF trials, with devastating results.

It´s like our 20mm ammo we have in BOS ;) Both VVS and Germans

Interesting. Devastating,but doesn't seem to blow a plane to small pieces like in the old IL2.

That was one round. I'm sure in IL-2 you guys don't just pop off one round.

Dude i can make a one hour montage where i hit a spitfire or a la-5,7 dead on in the wing and not only does the wing not brake but the spit's , la turn rate remains the same. And the mk 108 only uses HE incendiary and M-Geschoss.

In real life i've read that a 20 mm shell that hit's the engine sometimes make the plane explode. Or a burst from a thunderbolt 8 mg's.
