Title: seperate firing modes for the case of 30mm + gondies
Post by: mechanic on November 09, 2005, 04:38:39 AM

would be usefull to be able to select between 30mm nose and 20mm gondies in the 109s so you could throw single taters and use 20mm for bursts at longer ranges.  is it historicaly realistic?

I dunno if it is accurate but I'd like it. Maybe make a 3rd fire button you can program onto Jstick for just gonds, of like you said, make a toggle button.

I'd love to see this too... Save my taters for later!  ;-)

IIRC, the gondolas could be switched off from the cockpit in real life.

Yes, but not the hub cannon switched off, and the gondolas used.

Oddly enough, I find I hit FAR more times with the 30mm when it has 20mm in the same bank... I wonder if it's modeled differently somehow. In the 190a8 with 30mm and in the G6/G10 30mm with 20mm gondies, I get FAR more single ping catastrophic hits than I do with just a single 30mm.
