Dear DT,
Some months ago I asked about the possibility to review the Breda Safat 12.7 issue. Even if they weren't very powerful, they look really too weak in this game, alterating in the end the balance with contemporary fighters, and stealing most of the fun of flying certain planes.
We have now some new interesting experimental data by TinyTim, showing that the Il2 Breda SAFAT are some 75% weaker than the well known Anthony Williams' table calculations. The effectiveness of BS and UBS are respectively 36 and 97 in those tables, and 7 to 33 in Il2 according to TinyTim's findings. It's 1/3 instead of 1/5.
TT found experimentally that in Il2 you need an average of 79 bullets to kill a plane with a BS, vs 28 bullets for the UBS and 39 for the M2. I think that this says it all.
Other machineguns are affected as well by this issue. Herebelow the link to the UBI forum discussion.

I know that you have too much to do in too little time, but a good look at the weaponry of this game would be wortwhile IMHO
. Maybe starting from uf_josse work...
