gun delete
« on: September 06, 2014, 05:37:48 PM »
The P-47 has the option of only using 6 guns - the P-51D 4 guns and the P-40N 4 guns.  The rule of thumb is to use standard factory equipment, yet these three planes differ from standard.  The 190A5/A8 has the option to take 2 or 4 cannons.  Since only 1 load out can be "standard", all these planes break the rules in a way.  So, can we delete guns from other planes too?

Such as:

P-39D - 30 caliber delete
Mossie - 303 delete

 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

No ... we can't. (At least the way the current hangar options are modeled).  :D

but we can not omit the mg131 cowl guns in the A8 like they often did with the 30mms on.
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

I'm guessing those 3 were "standard" options not field mods.

This was only done in the uparmored /R8 Sturmbock versions, not in the /R2 with just the 3cm guns
