it works online!just tried it!
@ snafu:i experience especially with hurris that they go into big fireballs as well.spits not so much,but they are left with detached elevators and ailerons, and big holes in the wings looking like emmentaler.

Well, maybe. I do not fly E1 online, just E3 to get used to the cannons, so maybe with E1 is more effective against fighters, what I would suppose.

I picture for myself to first pierce the fuel tanks of the Hurrice (which was prone to catch fire in the gravity tank infront of the pilot) with armor piercing rounds, and then ignite them with the "Beobachtungs" rounds, but I guess that is just my imagination... :cool:

I tried it online. I shot down one hurricane. It didn't blow up, didn't fall apart, but the ammo strong - Onto at least so much, than the average ammo.

The beobachtung (B-geschoss, observer, ect) ammo has bright flash, and huge smoke, but nothing else. Only are pyrotechnical ammo. (The same caliber (7.92mm) was used against soldiers by snipers, it causes ugly injuries, but it useless against metal aircrafts). So, its a bug imo.

It i don't know, that the self destruction was forgotten (that work properly at the MG-FF), or it was not used at 7.92 mm ammo.

Anyone tried the .303 observer ammo??
Normaly these observer/beobachter rounds are the first i unloaded in my personal belts :D

IF this is all correct , then i hope a " LOL" is allowed ......

Well, i have to admitt, that my LOL was most propably to early!
Behind this B-round is more than i expected!!
For people whomunderstnd german or want to use a translator , here some interesring to read

interesting reading!!so it seems its not a bug or an oversight from the devs but actually realistic simulated!!!

Well, as so often in CoD , one can mostly blame the developer for the lack of proper documentation of their game.

Hmm... i think not... it was ineffective against armor, fuel tank, ect. Its proposed use -as it is written on this last web page too- the observation. In the cod currently not this situation :cool:

You try it online? Offline dont work the ammo customization (even if you see the custom ammo belt)

cheesehawk,...did you try it in self made missions?or in the default quick missions?cause you cannot use custom loadouts in those single quick missions.
