A few questions: What units are used for convergence setting? Meters or yards?

Is there a list with all the ammunition types and specifications for each one? For the 20 millimeter cannon of the Luftwaffe, there are Panzerbrand grenades, Brandspreng grenades, Brand grenades. What are the differences between these incendiary types? (I am german, I know what the names mean)

Whats the difference between phosphor and elektron types of incendiary ammunition?

Is there some documentation about those used in the flight sim?

There is some ammo data in this document. Please download the 3710.1B version for latest.

I'm sure others will be along shortly to point out some more references.

I read through it, but it doesn't help me that much. Why the difference in phosphor and elektron for incendiary ammunition? What are the traits? And how are they accomplished in the sim?

Also, are the convergence distances in meters or yards?

The real Panzergranate-Elektron was filled with a incendiary mix called "Elektronthermit". Once iniciated it can burn even underwater because it had his own provision of O2. Muzzle speed 695-700 M/s. This variant were used mostly against maritime targets.

Thanks for the information, now what about the Panzerbrand grenades, Brandspreng grenades and Brand grenades? Or do you all just use the Mineshells?
