Rate of Fire Question for Guns
« on: September 17, 2011, 05:31:02 PM »
I apologize for not doing the testing yet (which I might have to do anyway)...

Does the rate of fire change for a "Gun" when it moves from plane to plane?

Does the rate of fire change if the same "Gun" is wing mounted vs firing through a prop (Synchronized)

OR:

If you see a gun, for example the MG 151/20, that is found in Gondola, nose mount....etc...always fire the same ROF?

The rates of fire for each gun are always the same, unless one is synchronized and the other is not.

I recall HiTech stating that the code for a given gun only exists in one place and the data for the 20mm Hispano Mk II on a Spitfire Mk IX calls the same code that the 20mm Hispano Mk II on a Mosquito Mk VI does.

Synchronized guns lose, IIRC, 10% of their rate of fire.

Is there a more specific anomaly you had in mind?

I've testing this before. Unfortunetly I don't have the numbers now but as far as I remember Karnak is correct,
"Now, if I had to make the choice of one fighter aircraft above all the others...it would be, without any doubt, the world's greatest propeller driven flying machine - the magnificent and immortal Spitfire."

Ki84's IMO, fire their cannon faster than the Ki61. Same guns, except one is synced and the other is not (Im 90% sure about that).

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Thanks guys

It would make sense to model each item only once and then re-apply it over and over again

ive been wondering about something similar..........do the outboard cannons on an A8 (assuming you've taken the 4 20mm package) have a faster ROF than the inboards?  i know the inboards on the 190's fired through the prop arc, and was curious as to whether that slowed ROF.
