thanks for translation, and, i think, this quote sometimes very well confirms what i wanted to write and found about ammo belts for german fighters...
well, attached pic plus
here fw 190 in 44?,
here bf 109 from jg-54,
here bf 109 from jg-27,
here again 109 from jg-54 (only HEI-I-M? similar
ammo belt, from excavations in north of russia),
here fw 190 with field mod and fiters,
here 109 with only APs for mg 151?,
here mg131s of fw 190 (mainly, APs?),
here 109 from jg-26 (mainly, HEI-I-M?),
here hs-129 with mainly? APs...
ie, at least, just need 2 differents belts with mainly APs (against some ground targets and il-2s) and with mainly HEI-I-M (against planes, soft ground targets etc) or something like this, and it's apparently not hard to do...
