No need to get all touchy because he's the better pilot.

I find it usually takes well in excess of 20 hits to take me down. You can't expect to lob a plane round the sky when its damaged and get the same effect as one fresh off the runway. After you've been hit you've gotta be more gentle and scram.

True. I'll be chasing a Zero in my Corsair and I'll have to pump him full of bullets to get him down. A couple shots from one that seeks up on me and I fly out of control into the ground.

A zero has little armor plating.
A Corsair is heavely armored like most Pacific USM fighters.

CFS3 is biased on damage likely requiring more hits on an AI target as a means of making the sim more of a challange.  The AI's are inept.
The N is firing 20mm and the 47 50 cal.  The 20 produces 2.5 times the damage of the 50 cal.  So 30 hits of the 50 is 12 of the 20mm.  More than enough to bring down a 47.

Oh and about the zero thing. On normal firepower it usually takes me a 0.5-1 second burst with 8 .303s so I don't know why you can barely shoot the zero down in a corsair.

This isn't true. I can tell you how many times I bounced a flight of Zekes in CFS2. On one occasion I was between the two wingmen before I blew the leader to hell. The wingmen then broke towards eachother and collided. Destoryed an entire flight in 5 seconds.

Woody:
1 v 1, ace, neutral
You won't sneak up on a Zeke.
You didn't sneak up on the Zeke section even with an advantage.  They broke into you.

Try 1 v 2, 1 JA6M3-32, ace, neutral.
Let us know how it turns out.

You can adjust the convergence by opening your xdp file (in notebook) located in youe plane's folder. You will see the guns near the top, just scroll over to the convergence, almost always 300 and change it to what ever you want. Click file, then save. This will disqualify the plane from MP, though.

The sim is exactly as you guys are saying.
When I built the BoB JG-2 missions, I had the hardest time with the RAF fighters. Could hit them 100 times and more. But, scratch the paint on my 109 and she couldn't fly anymore. I am finishing BoB bomber and BoB RAF fighter ( same missions, just switching to new cockpit) with the soon to be released 1% Spitfire Mk1A (What a super plane and great cockpit) Well I don't know why those German bums had no guts when they flew with me, but they are terrors now that I'm in the RAF. God save the queen, they are kicking my ass. And, the Spit that was as tough as a King Tiger is now made of fine china.
That is just how it is.
When I first started BoB JG-2 fighter testing, I thought I would never master the 109 over the Spit. But, I learned its strong points and eventually tamed the super Spit. It really made me a better sim pilot to be at a disadvantage. Download that Mig-15-931 and get the two missions at SOH and you will be glad to get back to whatever crate with a prop
