I guess the devs' idea was that a mission maker defines historical loadouts for missions and campaigns, not a player.

It is possible to copy and paste key settings to a separate text file if you want to delete the old one.

What is strange is: I edit "Cross Country" mission just to put a "Boresight board", save and same folder.

Run the mission (graphics options all switchs ON.) - from game menu, not from FMB - select Spit 1 with default loadout, since I am no able to change this from menu.

Change convergences for 1000.

Taxi SPit to front Boresight board, and fire. See four hits for each wing. OK.

Note, If fire with some angle, the board go down. :)

Then I take off, put game in slow motion and shot in a nearby river, with plane diving maybe 15 ~20 meters from water, and see only two splash groups... ???

Why not 3 splash for each wing, since MG 3-4 and 6-7 are groupeds?

I'm a bit curious, is it set in stone that every bullet hit in water (or ground) actually shows the impact graphics?

I don't think it's the case.

A two second burst with the British planes means like 250-300 bullet impacts. I don't think that it does display that many bullet impacts, but i might just make a screenshot and count. :rolleyes:

This is probably a water simulation optimization to increase FPS.

This is most likely the case with all bullet strikes on all surfaces, even aircraft. Rendering 250 rounds a second and their impact flashes plus decals would be a CPU's nightmare.

I'm still not sure ...

Is this thread about the convergence of red players paranoia about being disadvantaged with the general perception that every part of this game is bugged in some small way?

I can't be bothered testing every piece of misinformation being earnestly spread by well meaning people on this forum.

I kinda wish ostriches really do stick their heads in the sand to make the analogy more appropriate. Alas even ostriches have more common sense than folk who believe that any heads up info about issues that SOME players MAY find applicable is a misinformation campaign by us losers who like flying Brit planes.

"I can't be bothered testing every piece of misinformation..." So how do tell what is misinformation or information that may be useful? Granted, sometimes the testing process can be a tad tedious. Might just be easier to label it all as misinformation and sound more knowledgeable than us poor disadvantaged paranoid red players.
For me, personally, I like to work smarter...not harder. It's been much easier to bring down planes using all 8 guns than just 2 or 4. So I guess I'm not disadvantaged anymore....dang. Not to worry, I'll just stop my medication and let the paranoia come back and fill this aching void by once again bathing in the glow of the forum flames emanating from more misinformation.
I hope u are not in the health profession. We tend to test everything before we use it..."can't be bothered" is difficult to defend in court.

OP's question has been answered.
