Ability to configure your own ammo configuration (similar to Il2 Cliffs of Dover). Certain rare or powerful ammo types such as incindiary and high explosive rounds would/should be limited or even perked. So for example, instead of every 5 rounds is a tracer, you can opt for every 3. Or if you know you'll be bomber hunting, take HE shells instead of armor piercing.

+1.
Would really like this option. :aok

Love this idea.

The idea is kind of interesting, what I'd like is the ability to set 'bands' like some squads did (or so the internet told me at some point) so you could go from 1 tracer every 5 to 1 every 3 at 25% or however you want it.
How much input did the individual pilots have to the crew chief? Did they get to specify their loadouts? I know I'd sure like to tell him to unmount the MG's on my 109K. I'd also like to be able to tell him to shoehorn in the other 2 20mm's in the front of my 410.
However, for A2A, it would seem to me there would be no advantage to anything other than HE. Also, I assume you're not proposing HE versions of .50 cal and .30 cal because that would be silly.
Doubt it'll happen, but it would be fun.

question is how much perks? we don't do this right and EVERYBODY will be taking HE, AP, INCENARY etc..

one of the hitech staff, I think it was pyro stated earlier on that they wanted to perk ammo.
This would corelate with that idealism.

Wiley you are aware we have HE .50 ammo? Its in the KI43.

And isn't the 12mm SAFAT on the C2's similar, now that I think about it?
I should've said, they shouldn't have the option if it wasn't available for them.

Hmm, I wonder how every round = tracer would look from a P47 or 410.. :devil
-
It would look pretty cool after you burned the barrels out and started tossing corkscrews all over
the sky :D
-
Um... no.
leave it as is.

Thanks moot. Totally forgot that last word :cheers:

Incend ammo needs at least 3perk points. But otherwise +10
-
Meh...
-10
It would only lead to people abusing it. The strongest rounds would be used all the time. It would change the "normal" power of the guns to be the "maximum" power at all times.
I'd rather have HTC model historic beltings, but have them NON-adjustable.

A limit to the belt would stop just that. So players can't have a full belt of armor piercing incendiary rounds, perhaps only a max of one every 5 rounds (or whatever is needed). I know my personal load out would be a tracer every round for the MK108s and a mix of explosive tracers and solid steel AP rounds for the MG131s.
-
Except in the case of US .50cal guns, where API ws the norm.
And your example of belting only AP rounds for MG131 is exactly the type of thing I'm talking about. Abusing the system. Even the highest ranked Luftwaffe aces in WW2 couldn't customize their belting like that. It was a fixed belting.

Does the Ki-84 have those in the cowl guns?
I think it's a great idea, I'd load paint in my Ho-5s :lol
