more custom guns and fuel
« on: September 19, 2010, 12:40:13 AM »
guns- be able to select how many bullets up to the max in each gun you want. for example you could take 0 bullets in the tail gun for the 110g2 and not have to kill your accuracy shooting them all off.

fuel. instead of 25% 50% be able to type the number of gallons you would like in each tank.

I believe this would make the game more fun and the planes more customizable. rewarding players who customize their fuel and ammo loads well. perhaps adding another dimension to an already great game!

Don't know about guns.

Being able to delete guns isn't unrealistic. I've read of P-40 pilots removing two guns to improve performance and 190 drivers getting rid of the smaller caliber cowl guns.

If the aircraft weight is lower with no ammo for a gunner position, should we also subtract 200 lbs for the gunner we left at the Zebra Club?

I've never heard of that being done for the Bf110's tail gun though.

yeah i have seen people do it tones of time. its a lot of bad weight and shooting off the tail gun improves performance. go on a 110 noe raid sometime, you will hear the tail guns going wild

I thought this was one of those AH myths?

See if you fly a B-24 with 4 bombs instead of 8 your plane will not act like a fighter, same thing here 110 will not be more maneuverable if you waist your 1000 rounds. The difference will be so small that you will not be able to notice it, and it will certainly not save you.

then why do so many people shoot it off, i have heard its because the guns in that 110 on not in the center of gravity which hinder performance.

The difference is so slight in performance that I doubt anybody would notice it unless they fly the 110 as a main ride.

I too see players do this.

I never have.

Flying the 110 as much as I used to I never saw the point.

The advantage one gains by shooting off the tail gun ammo in a 110G is mostly imaginary.

A 50% fuel 110G with the big gun package weighs 17198. Shooting off the tail ammo will reduce that mass by 98lbs - that's 0.6 %
And to put it into perspective - that's about the same mass your engines are burning in fuel in 2 minutes of flight time.
