The destructive power of Russian guns/cannons

[Erkki]

Afaik the MG151/20 in Il-2 has belting of APIT-HE-HE-MG-MG.

Its pretty easy to see that while the tracer is slower and flies a more curved trajectory than of the tracer rounds of Hispano and ShVak, the HE and MG shells fly more flatter path and are easier to hit with. I very often see the tracer fall just behind the target with the explosive rounds hitting.

My personal opinion only but I think MG151/20 vs. Hispano is about OK in il2, and while ShVak is most probably OK destructive power/penetration wise I know the muzzle speed and ballistics are better than they should be.
