there is also competitions like USL, who are based on dogfight servers. that wouldnt work there. but you are right to an extend, and to be fair in a USL scenario squads will vouch for pre-assigned rules.

Prediction: "Leave it alone" landslide.

Of course, if people have to choose between historical accuratesse and easier success, what do you think will win?

I think it was left up to the pilot in the luftwaffe.

Judging by the current state of the sim, the developers can barely put together a working game.

What makes you think adding this option won't just introduce another broken, buggy feature that will crash our games or cause disconnects?

This is a GAME, remember. The more options the better.
I remember very well the long painful threads of whining, on UBIzoo about the ammo belting for certain aircraft. No need to go through all that mess again.
There's no magic bullet anyway. A mix of rounds works better in most cases. If you get a 109 behind shooting at you and hitting, it won't be much difference anyway what he shoots you with. The E1 with 4x7.92mm can kill a plane just as easy as the E4 with cannons.
Who is then going to decide on what kind of loadouts people should use? Do you put this extra work on the host? What about ground attack sorties? Most aircraft used different belting for different purposes anyway.

Be glad we have the otions available to us, so we don't have to cry to developers or hosts to make this changes.

I have magic bullets and silver ones in my ammo belt. :)

Good to see that I am not the only one who remembers what a long discussion that one was.
My last post here, sorry for trolling.

~S~

just to make it clear. if the host doenst want to, he could just make it "players choice/ no limitations".

And regardign "who should decide waht beltings to have", my answer is, the mission maker.

Are you sure all mission makers know exactly the historical ammo loadout for every gun in every plane we have?
