Remove overload ammo from all but 1 P-47
« on: October 05, 2010, 09:35:00 PM »
The P-47 models didn't have 425 rpg. The D11 didn't, the D25 didn't, the N didn't, and the M didn't.

One single group used the overload ammo load solely for ground attack and strafing. These would be late war D-40 types (or close enough), so if it must be left in-game, leave it only on our D-40. Remove the 400-round option on the other craft.

We have no gondolas on the 109F and no gondolas on the 109K4, because frankly these planes did not use them.

Our P-47s did not use this ammo loadout either, and I'd wager a pretty penny that 90% of all sorties use the overload ammo (at least... the way they spray ammo from 2k out on end seems to imply they're not worried! :P).


I've used it myself, more than enough. It's nice. It's just totally inaccurate.

Might be wrong, but I think I remember reading that some of the groups in Italy used the overload ammo, and they would've been flying razorback models.  That being said, I rarely ever use the overload anyway--too much of a performance penalty and the normal ammo load is plenty for lazy fire discipline on 5 kills anyway...

That is intresting info.  Most of the time I up in the D25, i used the low ammo count to reduce weight for better performance.  The overload ammo is a bit of a over kill.

The POH for the P-47N states that the max load was 500 rounds per gun not 425. Maybe we can get that increased.  :devil

That is a lot of weight that will burn more fuel and decreed performance.

I am actually one of those 267 rpg guys... If it is inaccurate I say let's fix it!  Nobody needs that extra weight anyway.

Krusty,

The History of German Aviation: Willy Messerschmitt - Pioneer of Aviation Design says the K4 used them...

"frankly" does not equal not used.  It would be a nice option as I like the K4.  In the grand scheme of things, I would prefer to have the ability to choose fuel tanks then that.

Neither of you read past the first sentence of the Op it seems.
