Highest 'one second burst mass' at BR1.7 to 2.0?

[ℬℓα⊂₭ ℙℜ¡ℵ₠]

anyone know?

[boingo]

probably something with alot of 7.62

That would be the Do 217 J-1 at 4.83kg Burst Mass.

does that include somthing like upward shooting 'face the music' guns?

Huh? It's a German bomber-turned-interceptor. Bunch o' guns mounted in the nose; 4 x 20mm and 4 x 7.92mm. It's 2.0 in RB, but 2.7 AB/SB.

The problem with those bomber-style interceptors, IMO, is that they are only marginally faster/more agile than the bombers they are supposed to hunt, so they have a heck of a time catching them.

you are thinking of the N2, a nightfighter variant of the same airframe

Yes, that's the one I was thinking of.

yep, a chore to get anywhere near a bomber as most see you miles away and avoid and a fighter can just run circle around you. So really I want to know the fighter with the highest burst mass

In the regular tech tree, IDK about premium/event stuff, the Hurricane Mk IV wins with an impressive 3.86 kg/s, though that requires the 2x 40mm gunpods, and IDK exactly how reliable those are. Also, while it's stats are better than the Do 217 J-1 it still won't be winning very many races.

Honorable mentions include the He 112 B-0 with 2.56kg/s and a few French fighters with fairly respectable bursts, the best of which is the M.S. 410 with 2.39 kg/s. The 112 has a ~30% better listed climb rate spaded, compared to the Hurricane, with a similar top speed, though I think it overall gets around the battlefield a bit better. Not sure about the French plane, (I haven't touched France yet) though it looks a bit slower than the 112.

Interesting aside: the SBD-3 Dauntless can get an impressive 3.32 kg/s burst thanks to the ability to equip gunpods, for a total of 6 .50 cal MGs. IMO that might be the most reliably lethal loadout for a single-engine plane in the specified BR range, though it's primarily a dive bomber, so it will still struggle to catch opponents and itself be somewhat vulnerable to fighter attacks. On the other hand, you should get an air start, whereas the fighters we mentioned won't (in RB, at least).
