Title: Rate of Fire Question for Guns
Post by: oneway 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?

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?

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

:aok

Post by: IrishOne on September 21, 2011, 08:53:01 AM: 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.
