Type of improvement: Realism Setting
Explanation of proposals: Weathering/reliability for Weapons
I saw this posted earlier, and it sounds like a really cool realism setting.

We discussed this with some members of the community a while ago and decided that it makes no sense. If we make the guns realistically crappy and unreliable no one will fly it. And if we make the weapons unrealistically reliable it will completely shift the balance and give the Allies a huge advantage. We do not need to add another questionable feature to the project and give the fans another thing no one can agree upon, except to say that we suck.

Seriously? Adding realistically unreliable weapons sounds awesome!
If you want to make it easier for the more 'casual fliers,' make it a realism setting or a slider when adding the plane in the FMB. (Like weathering)
Benefits:
Cannon misfire that plop out of the end of the gun like a dull potato, overheat the gun, explode in the barrel, or cause the gun to jam would all be very cool to see in this sim!
And if you make it an optional setting in realism settings or under the plane settings, it is a win, win. People who want realism get it, people who don't can either uncheck the box or not add it to their missions.
I really hope to see this kind of feature implimented. Especially when rockets are finally added to the sim.
