Ammunition power
 

This is something I found in the internet quoting Oleg.

Can someone explain (preferably Oleg himself) why there is a huge tendency to over-model allied guns and under-model axis guns? The only exception is the German MG 17 7.92 machine-gun which was mounted in the bombers.(the true bullet velocity is marled blue or red and added by me, I checked different soucres in the internet for one and the same gun)
Was it ever changed to historically correct?

I don´t want to bring up old discussion that probably already took place. But I suppose it´s similar with the flight-model (and I always wonderd why a 109 or a 190 is close to be unflyable with a hole in the wing, in contrast to some allied planes that even fly with some parts of the wing broken off)


I would hate to see the same happening again in SoW.
It should be historically correct.

Or otherwise all fly the same planetype to have a balanced game.

Maybe these will help

link doesn´t work

I know the site and have some of the infromation from it.


Unfortunately this threat doesn´t really explain why those guns where modelled wrong in the first place.

Simply ............................ balancing.

Links fixed

Sorry, I don´t by that one, there are too many things out of balance in favour of red planes.

If we only stick to the guns, we get an average velocity in m/s of:

Russia: 852,5m/s
Western Allies:794,2 m/s
Red Total: 826,6 m/s

Axis:690,6m/s

So where is the balance?

.50's are porked....


Wait a minute...I was having a bad dream, or deja vu...or a vision or something.

I can't answer your question, but here's a link that is informative as well - http://members.tele2.nl/harmstolk/gunpower.htm

Good grief. Do you people ever give up? Just accept that Oleg is against whatever it is you want and move the Hell on. My kids didn't whine so much when they were two.

Good post emil, i always thought that Blue planes were at a distinct disadvantage now it has been confirmed. Lets hope Oleg fixes it in SOW so that we have a realistic sim.

I have to agree with Diablo here.

You can complain that velocity is porked in favour of Allies, but the actual advantage in-game goes to Blue - by a long margin. Wrong belting and what not else.

The way I see it blue (especialy 190s and 109s) need only one or two shots for their opponent to explode. You might want to complain about that first.

Need proof - just hop over to the WarClouds.

Yes, the balance might have been something which was attempted, but in very odd way. With USAAF suffering the most from wrong .50 cal belting. The velocity values you posted in the first post reflect that balance very well (FM / WM => Belting / Velocity values).
