pony ammo load
« on: June 20, 2006, 12:41:27 PM »
dl patch #3 and go to fly during take off i notice i have over 1300 rnds in primary and 500+ in secondary.. ok i am sure HTC didn't mean for that to happen. then i go to fire and find that not only ammo load had changed but now my secondaries are firing on primary switch and pri on secondary.
now the change in which switch does what easy change but was the change in ammo load out intended?

I think what may have happened is the middle .50 on the P-51D was moved from the secondary weapon to the primary.
Primary used to only fire the inboard pair only and secondary were the outboard pair or pairs, depending on ammo loadout. Now primary fires the two inboard pairs and the outboard pair is fired with secondary.

EDIT- further research shows the gun layout has changed.

P-51D
Take the 6 gun option, primary is the outboard 2x .50s, secondary the inboard 4x.50s.
Take the 4 gun option, primary is the outboard 2x.50s and the inboard 2x.50 become secondary guns. The middle pair are visible of course but are not loaded.

Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

ok thats easy to overcome np with that if that was the intended out come.

did like the ammo load out the old way better but if it is a attended change in the ammo load will live with that too. just prefer the old ammo split.


edit: i think when what you described happen the ammo for center weapon went to the other bank thus giving us the 1340rn loadout on primary bank and only 540 on secondary. i am hoping this is just somthing not caught before the released the patch and will be corrected later. as it is now instead of secondary running out first and warning of lo ammo conditions in those big furballs where u loose track of time now i got all 3 guns running out at differnt times.
