Author Topic: Canon Selector (Read 633 times)

Zeiram · « **on:** May 10, 2000, 03:00:00 AM »

Does anyone feel if I can select and fire Nose Mount canon only or GunPod only?
Current AH can't select 30mm only or 20mm only if I fly Fw190A8 or 109 30mm with Gunpod.

Simple Request for HT
Please add Canon Selector like Primary/secondary switch kye.
This way make more option to select weapon for various situation. (for Buff, Tank, etc)
at same time we can save ammo

Please make option key to select Canon
(also need to fire all canon same like current way)
Is this unreasonable request?

Good idea, Zeiram. I agree totally.

Question is if that was an option in RL as well. From what I've seen, german fighters had two triggers on the control stick: One for MGs and one for cannons. So actually having to fire all cannons at once *might* be totally accurate and realistic.

(I could be wrong here, someone enlighten me)

Fw190A-8 has 2 safety switches for cannon in the instrument panel. These are "Safety Switch" and "Outboard Cannon Safety Switch". I guess Fw190A-8 can shoot Inboard cannon only or all cannon by these safety switches.@

Focke Wulf had many combiantions how it's weaposn could be fired. only MG FF, only MG 151... There were only two buttons but pilot was able to select what guns will fire when he presses the buttons.

Batman: What do these diagrams mean exactly? The REVI looks to be in different positions depending on which guns were armed...Does that mean that the gunsight took the different trajectories of the different weapons into account?

I think those circled crosses indicate only position of gun in 190's structure. Those orange coloured boxes indicate weapong groupings, ie. what guns will fire at the same time when the corresponding fire button was pressed.
