Other armament corrections

[TinyTim]

Good thread Ice! Glad to see the Yak-9UT getting its armament fixed.

Speaking of Yaks - Yak-3 VK-107 has wrong armament too. According to Yefim Gordon it was fitted either with two (both in cowling) or with three B-20 cannons (additional one firing through the spinner). In the sim it has one ShVAK (between cilinders) and one UBS (cowling).

Generally I agree, armament on Japanese planes seems to be a mess. Developers appeared to have used placeholder weapons which then never got replaced.

About J2M3 - according to Rene Francillon this version of the plane came with both armament options you mentioned - 2 x type99-I + 2 x type99-II or 4 x type99-II. To distinguish between the two, the latter was named J2M3a, so technically you are right, but then our J2M3 can simply be renamed J2M3a and everything is fine.

Ki-46-III Kai is another example - it's obliquely firing cannon is Russian one, instead of Ho-203 (again according to Rene Francillon).

Also VYa-23 appears to be used on many russian planes in place of NS-23.

Overworked ammoloadouts for the IAR80/81.
Generaly said, they have around twice as much ammo in their weapons as they should.
And also the 81a has a "replacement" weapon. A 13mm MG131 instead a 13mm Browning

A Fw190F-8 with Panzerblitz antitank rockets would be nice.

Hmm...

I-16 type 24 should have 4 x ShKAS when it now has 2 ShVak 2 ShKas, type 28 was the one with ShVak cannons(dunno which one the performance matches), type 24 was apparently way more produced but a name change could work too.

Bomb load is missing on all Spitfire V variants.

I think the Yak-3 VK107 has more wrong about it than just the armament. I'm no Yak expert but looking at it in the armament screen it seems to be much larger than the regular Yak-3 (fuselage, wings), more of the general size of a Yak-9U.

So as far as I can tell the current Yak-3 VK107 seems to use some sort of modified Yak-9U model while it should be very much similar to the normal Yak-3 using the smaller wing (14.85m^2 vs 17.15m^2 on all other Yaks)

The Yak-3 VK107 is definitely messed up in a bunch of ways but I'm not sure exactly all of them. I think it may be best left in the realm of "WTF" next to the Lerche

Bombs and tanks on long nose Fw109's. Panzerblitz rockets for groundattack versions.

Great thread so far... just the sort of things that maybe can be fixed.

I'd like to see the Japanese types get the proper cannons and machine guns were appropriate. I think the problems extent to some of the AI types as well such as the G4M2 and H8K. I think those are firing MG151/20 cannons out of the rear turrets... but I'm 99% certain that the only MG151/20 usage was seen on the Ki-61 Hei.

Is that your wishlist for TD ? Or what TD is actually working on ?????

BTW, don't forget the Bf110 also carried Panzerblitz on the eastern fron

It's his personal wishlist. And the Bf 110 had been phased out by the time the Panzerblitz rockets came into use (except as nightfighter, of course). Only Fw 190 F-8 and F-9 ever used Panzerblitz rockets operationally.
