Re: Aircraft weapons

Why do these old gun ships (units 829, 827, and 825+826) Have Fire Control ratings of 8? Why not the A-10? Also units 829 and 827 have a Fire Control rating of 20 while the A-10 has a FC rating of...

Re: Aircraft weapons

Each pass is an individual attack. One A-10 vs one T-62.

The tests had to be done this way for the GAME.

If you read that the actual test carefully you will see that after EACH ATTACK the...

Re: Aircraft weapons

No DRG, it seems my first test was messed up. For some reason when the tanks had no MA or mobility they just weren't
important enough to hit

2nd test with a Main Gun but no ammo and a 2 speed...

Re: Aircraft weapons

Shouldn,t the P-51 Mustang in the OOBs that are armed with 50cal MGs have a AP rating of 6 instead of 4? The Mustangs that carried 4 guns were armed with 20mm guns.

Re: Aircraft weapons

DRG,

I know that most all air gun attacks start a 250 to 300 meters in the game.
The longer range figures are to enhance the effects of the sabot rounds at close range. And it worked. Some of the...

Re: Aircraft weapons

Again I ask, why mount the huge GAU-8 whan a much smaller weapon could do the same job? If it did not have a distinct advantage why not just use a 20mm Vulcan?

From what I understand the Navy no longer uses a DU round.

The only inovation between the GAU-8 and the Bushmaster is that the Bushmaster has a built in fuse setter for its HE rounds that the...

Then we have a problem of inconsistancy in the game.
In the USMC OOB weapon number 077 30mm Bushmaster has a Sabot Pen of 12. Weapon number 190 the GAU-8 mounted on the A-10 has a HE Pen of 9.
