A minor change relating to the primary and secondary guns, but worth noting.

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.

It used to be inboard 2x.50s were always primary and remaining outboard guns secondary. If the 4x.50 ammo loadout was chosen you lost the outboard pair IIRC.

I hope you're wrong on this one.

Have the inboard pair as the primary was a good thing. the inboard par, having the most rounds, was ideal for "finding the target" You could squeze a few rounds off looking for a hit, then fire all 6 guns to get the kill.

If the outboard pair is now primary, this means the secondary set of guns will run out of ammo at different times and really throw off the effectiveness of having the two outboard pairs firing together.

Hitech, if this is true, please change it back, it was fine before

Oops I am incorrect, but there was still a change.

Primary guns on a P-51D with 6 gun option are the inboard and middle 2x.50s with the secondary the remaining outboard 2x.50s.

If you change to the 4 gun option the primary and secondary reverse with the primary now being the outboard 2x.50s and the secondary is now the inboard 2x.50 with the middle pair being 'removed'.

I knew I'd screw up that first post, apologies.

with the current ammo split as the middle guns ammo moved over to combine witrh the 800 of before giveing you 1340 rnds in primamary and 540rnds in the secondary and midnight is right we now have the 3 sets of guns running out of ammo at differnt times..

I usually die before any of my guns run out of ammo anyway

There's an easy fix for that -- empty your guns on the runway before takeoff.

Make sure killshooter is ON, first. Otherwise, it isn't as funny for the rest of us.
