Bf109E-1 ammocounter ?!

[JG53Frankyboy]

the ammocounter of the E-1 for its wingguns are reading 42. I guess its multiplicated with 10, so it would have 420 rounds.
It has to be 500 rounds.

4200?? I thought it was 500 each as well

[pupo162]

its a counter of bullets.

42x 10. totalling 420 rounds.

anyway:

42 means you have 42 seconds of fire left, since they fire at about 10 per second

[skouras]

500 rounds per gun on wings
its not correct

perhaps you had the Swiss Bf109D in mind, their wing mounted MG29 (7,45mm) at 418 rounds each
