Post by: Seeker on November 22, 2001, 11:05:00 AM

Will this be held with MA standard ammo load outs?

I "think" the LA5 only has one loadout option.  I have very little stick time but if memory serves it has the two cannons only...

La-5 has a maximum of 400 rounds of 20mm ShVak cannon. But they're very powerful.  :)

You're quite right about the single load out, but will it be the 400 rounds "arena normal"; or will there be a multiplyer applied? (I'm hoping not...)

I imagine a mere 400 rounds available will lead to "heightend ammo management", which would be nice and tense  :)

Set up will be like the MA with MA loadouts.  The only factor that can be different among participants is fuel loadout.

You can take off with droptanks, rockets and even bombs if you like. (If it is available on that specific aircraft)
