(I just wanted to muck up your math)
Really? Most of what I saw seemed to indicate 400 rpg, as this was pretty common with most mounted .50's. You would see up to 500 rpg in some turrets, where the gunner could perform immediate action on jams.... much beyond 500, and the weight of the links and rounds tends to cause jams in the Browning M2 feeding correctly.
Well, the minimum PlaneGunAmmoMult to get the 21 rounds for a 75mm over 98 is a factor of 5 for 105 rounds to start... by PlaneGunAmmoMult of 5 or more does not work well for that 2800 rounds in the counter when looking at 300 rpg.
I suppose 8 X .50's X 350 rpg would work, with NO PlaneGunAmmoMult change.... which would mean the 75mm model has a much higher than normal count than what is historical in it's current form...... and the co-pilot yoke would be a mistake.
350 rpg x 2 .50's with a multiplier of 4 works....for the .50's..... comes up short for the 75mm though.
Hmmmmm.........
