MG34 has a 800-900rpm rate of fire, you are thinking of MG42 which did 1200-1500rpm.
The guns on the Ju88 are even faster rof than MG34 yet they cant do that. And there are more of them to boot.
No way to get around that its unrealistic gameplay compromise spurred on by an unrealistic Hispano model armor penetration . It already caused buff guns to go unrealistic and now MG34 light MG, yes light MG its really just like .30cal or Brit .303.
If you have any doubts as to low efectiveness of 30cal on moderen WW2 planes structure, consider this, from a BoB book:
A Ju88 was attacked by 5 Spit Is who fired over a total of 7000 rounds of 303 into the bomber, which survived and landed back in france.
Yet the single MG34 on an AH Panzer is able to shoot down a B17, destroy Typhoons doing a rocket attack, and god knows what else.
Who do you guys think you are benefiting by supporting such stupid unrealistic changes to AH, sooner or later HTC will get real arrogant and majorly screw something up, and they wont fix it- and you as a customer will suffer. Im not sayin HTC are bad guys, but they are only human- so when they see there is a gaggle of people who support their every gampley realism reduction no matter what, who says they wont go too far.
If AH was new sim just coming out where panzers were able to blow up planes with one 7.92mm gun, or with our stupid CV flak model or with any of the gameplay comromises we have- all of you would be laughing about its lack of realism on the BBS.
Dont forget wasnt AH supposed to be the high-realism sim? Wasnt that what set it apart from mainstram efforts where too much was compromised for gameplay and easy to learn FM, easy gunnery, easy this easy that. Is AH still decicated to this?
Whats the difference between gameplay compromised gunnery and a gameplay compromised FM, you want hit bubbles now?
Guys dont let AH get crippled by endless compromises, please its not too late- but the current permissive attitude to such things is troubling.
