Fiat G-50

The Breda 12,7mm HMGs seem rather effective now.

Agree on this one. I get 2 twin engined bombers usually and damage a third one heavily, with one ammo load, per sortie.
I like the combo of it's cockpit/gun sight and the two guns, very good to aim at short ranges.
Recently I shot down a Blenheim on my first pass, coming in from above and to the side, right engine of the bomber in the gun sight. A short burst and it smoked immediately...fell out of formation, flames, parachutes and a kill.
I checked, 11 bullets had hit out of a very small total fired (42% hits).
Flies like a brick, but stable shooting, can be perfectly aimed.
I use convergence 150m, start shooting always under 200m, often 150m and less.

Liked the Hayabusa in IL-2, this is similar, but the guns seem more effective while it flies like a brick. A slow brick on top of that...
