I seriously doubt it! I did make a quick check through the sfs files, and the round information (20mm, HE, round weight and muzzle velocity) seems all to be correct according to the info I can find online.

The 20mm's were capable of disabling light armored vehicles and getting an occasional mobility kill on a tank however.

Nevertheless, I agree that their effect is probably too good to be true and I might try down-tuning this a bit. One factor im not sure if IL2 models is the likelihood of the HE rounds passing right through the aircraft if they didn't hit something substantial enough to crush the impact fuse.

Did anybody try changing the ammunition in the FMB? If so, what change does that make? I will get round to this when I am back from vacation. (Aruba is awesome btw).

Cheers,

Dave.

Difference between the Mk.I and Mk.IIc is a bit more than armament. To fit the larger supercharger of the Merlin XX, the engine housing was expanded and made 4 inches longer. This shifted the center of gravity slightly forward, changing the balance and feel of the plane perceptibly. It became a bit more stable in flight, making it less suited as a fighter, but at the same time made it a better ground attack aircraft.

Well - what a difference! Just played a quick FMB mission where I set the ammunition from the HE tracer to just armor piercing. The cannons were nowhere near as effective - in fact one could argue they were not much better than the original 8x303 in terms of damage caused by a 1 second burst...
