f86 f25 vs f86 f2

F2. Its more than just a 20mm. Its a 20mm revolving cannon.

Is a "revolver" cannon, not revolving (aka rotary / gattling); as each gun only has a single barrel rather than multiple; but the loading system spins like a revolver.

But whatever, its still better than most cannons of its tier cuz it fires faster.

Technically the FJ4B should have revolving cannons too, but Gaijin gaijinn'd that plane so its a mess.



Also, what he said. Cannons atm are better than MG's.

Technically Colts are only Chain guns because they do use forced loading systems but aren't revolver cannons. Though they still messed up and modeled them as M3s.

F2. As it stands each nation's Sabre is god in good in its own way. If you go with the F25 then you get no advantage to anybody else.

Japan's Sabre F40 is high speed/god agility/good firepower
Germany's Canadair is god speed/good agility/good firepower
America's Sabre F2 is high speed/good agility/great firepower (firepower is second only to the Hunter which you can outturn, the French 'bomber' which you can outrun and outturn, and ARGUABLY the MiG 17 which you can outturn)

Still don't get why the British don't have the Canadair Sabre too.

I mean technically the British used more of them than Germany ever did. rofl

In my opinion, the difference between the F25 and the F2 is whether or not your personal accuracy is good.

Damaging an aircraft with anything at this BR is pretty much guaranteed fatal (spark thunder not withstanding).

.50 cals are more accurate and allow for longer range kills (1km+). 20mm are better at killing at closer ranges (0.5km and lower) since you don't have as much time to land your burst on target with .50 cals.
