How many rounds of MK103 did the 410 carry? And were they synchronized together?  :pray

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

  IIRC,each Mk103 carried 100 rounds. Since they didnt fire through a propeller I dont think they needed to be synchronized,they were electrically fired so I would think they could be synchronized.

There's going to be a lot of waaambulances needed when the 410 first appears.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Yeah, but it will only be slightly more annoying than the Mossie with it's four Hisookas.

You got guys that spent years in the K4/tater planes with a MK108. Which fires slower.
Now put those guys in a 410 with a MK103 which fires ~150% faster with better ballistics.
I don't care how the thing flies, you give me *one* snapshot and you're dead.

MK 108 rate of fire: 650 r/m.

MK 103 (HE/M) rate of fire: 380 r/m.

So two MK 103 will barely outgun a single MK 108 in rate of fire, and also in weight of fire since they use the same shell. The only thing the MK 103 has going for it is the laser accuracy and range.

Faster as in muzzle velocity. My fault for not clarifying.
