Re: Chin Mounted 20mm on the Bf 109

I have seen the photo, but not any actual information that I am aware of ( in English anyways).

Opinion only, but as a weapon platform( assuming firing problems addressed) I do think this would be superior to the two wing mg151's that saw service. The reason being a centreline should allow for firing from long ranges and be in sync with the propellor weapon.

The problem is it takes away the belly tank, affecting of course range and combat time. Assuming the platform functioned technically...I would think this was a big reason it wasnt adopted.
