3200 rounds?  All that's missing is the ROF for an idea of how much that really is.

It really would be cool if HTC gave it the ability to switch between 2 and 4 guns firemodes.

3200 rounds!?


Dude's, what room for such ammo!?
Didn't they fire like 20 round "clips" per gun ?

It's a tank...

I found this:
"The traverse and elevation of the turret was hydraulic, making a full elevation in little over 4 seconds, and a full traverse in 15.5 second."

and

"Each of the four mounted guns fired from a 20-round magazine at a maximum combined rate of fire of 1,400 rounds per minute (reduced to 800 rounds per minute for combat use). "

So anywhere from 2'20" to 4' of continuous fire.

Closest approximation of strafing a Wirbelwind currently in the game is to do a head on with a Mosquito.
