Title: Ammo loadouts
Post by: Hristo on September 08, 2000, 02:49:00 AM
Well, here might be an interesting topic  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Do we actually know what ammo mix we are using ?

For example, does MG 151/20 in Fw 190A-5 have different ammo mix than MG 151/20 in Fw 190A-8 ? Knowing that A-8 came later, when bomber interception was the absolute priority.

Does our MG 151/20 use only one type of ammo ? Or is it real mix, with different rounds with different ballistics ?

Does our ammo mix change if we choose 2 20mm instead of 4 20mm in 190 ? Hmmm.

How many HE shells ? How many AP ? APIs ?

What were historical types of amo mixes ?

Woulnd't it be nice to customize the ammo mix ? For anti-bomber or anti-fighter work ?

And tracers ? At least on your FE ?

Will this (or was it) ever be explained by Pyro or HT ?

I can only recall someone from HTC mentioning different (preset) mixes to be possible, but that was months ago.


Please, let's hear some opinions.
