german mk108 30mm guns,pathetic velocity

[Shlong of Democracy]

i mean seriously i dont really care about the sparkling because sooner or later you will get the guy but the velocity of these shells is simple pathetic especially when you are trying to chase down a mig 15 or sabre
if you people dont know what im talking about try using me262 any varient and the komet..

but comrade high battle rating plus the american 50 cals are far more devestating than these 30mm.. I mean ffs use logic...

Having a lot of planes/vehicles does not make you doing it right :)

well how about you explain what "doing it right" is ?

The barrel on the Mk108 was slightly over half a meter long. Its muzzle velocity WAS pathetic.

The NS-37 on the Yak-9t has a barrel length of over two meters.

That's the Mk 108 in the background.

damn no wonder those 37mms can hit anyone from a mile without any issue

Those 108s are meant to be used on bombers- slow, unmanuoverable bombers. Using them against fighters, especially jet fighters, is completely useless.

Quite so. The cartridges were also quite different.

The Mk 108 used a 30x90mm shell, whereas the NS-37 fired a 37x198mm shell.

Mk 108s were short barrel faster firing 30mms designed for cheap and easy mass production. If you want high velocity use Mk 103 slower firing but much better velocity. HVAP on 103s can kill medium tanks from side and rear btw. If gaijin adds the Mk 101s those things are devestating.

Realistic...

Muzzle velocity
540 m/s (1,770 ft/s)

*paste*
Low muzzle velocity was the MK 108's main shortcoming, giving it a limited effective range, with a rapidly downward-curving trajectory in which the projectile dropped 41 m (135 ft) in the first 1,000 m (3,300 ft) of travel. The long time of flight of its projectile and the curved trajectory strongly reduced the usefulness of the MK 108 against maneuvering targets like fighters. It was designed for use against bombers, which could not maneuver due to the need to stay in formation. Even against these, attacks had to be pressed home to close range (often, at just 200–300 meters), which was particularly difficult for fast fighters like the Me 262, in which the rate of closure was so rapid it was hard to get close enough to get off an effective volley without colliding with the target.

It's historical.
