Nonetheless, the bigger spaces between the prop blades would have made gun synchronisation simpler.
This would have become a more significant issue as gun power increased, as the larger cartridges had slightly less predictable burning times. As it was, the Germans had difficulties in synchronising the big 30mm MK 103, although such an installation was proposed for some Ta 152 variants.
