A short mauser question :)
« on: January 08, 2001, 04:43:00 AM »
Not a squeak, not a whine  

What is the ROF as modelled in the game for the Mg151/20 on the Fw190A8?

Can't tell you how many times an enemy a/c has apparently flown right between my shells at 200yds range or less.

Never seems to happen with any other weapon, even the Hispano which I understand had a lower ROF than the Mauser.

Yeah, but the diameter of a 20mm hispano round is actually 8ft 7in...

that is why they are easier to hit with...

And how do you know that Kratzer?  I think you are wrong.  I've watched tracers go past an enemy AC that was 50 Yards in front of me because my wings were not in plane with his, so the right bank went over his wingline and the left bank went under.  Not by much, but they did.  It looked like by INCHES.  If we were shooting 8 foot wide shells I couldn't have missed.

It is my understanding that in AH the bullets are modelled at the correct size.  One of the big things HT did with AH is to have a very good gunnery model.  There are no "high velocity basket balls" like the WB of old.

Inboard 151's on the 190's are synchronized to fire through the prop and lose some rate of fire.  The 20 mm on Typhoons and Spitfires are not synchronized and have full rate of fire.  That's the real life situation at least, I have no idea what it is in AH.  

PS Ask Hooligan, he and Dinger tested a lot of this stuff.

I dont remember the numbers but I remember Pyro stating long ago that he followed the real rof for the synced and non synced guns. So the wing and engine mount 151s are slightly faster then the Hispano and the wingroot ones are a little slower.

Lepturn, look real close and you might have seen the "j/k" at the bottom of Kratz's post   Doesn't take much to trigger the pom-pom alarm does it?
