2. API and APIT ammo

3. New cockpits and textures

4. Overheating... the Jug seems to overheat faster than other radial engine planes and takes longer to cool down.

5. Acceleration.....all planes i tested seem to accelerate at the same rate. granted these were rudely done but still might need to be tested.

6. Energy retention for zoom climbs?

did I say API and APIT ammo? hahahaha

Some good stuff there! I'd love to see API and APIT (some sort of late war loadout option?) as part of the belting.

I did want to say that Acceleration I tested online with a few guys using a couple of different methods and it was definitely different between types of aircraft. It wasn't a huge difference between them but I sometimes think that my reading in a book about acceleration difference and actual differences were actually quite small.

Bomb salvo option and the info on which angle will the automated bombsight release start releasing the bombs once on the bomb run. Simple.

I'd like to see three .50 cal "types" modelled based on when the aircraft type entered service. E.g. F4F3 & F4F4 have "early" guns, P-47D-10 has "mid" guns, P-51D-20 has "late" guns and so on. (To try and keep it simple.)

Pre & early war - belting: (AP ~ I ~ AP ~ I ~ T x repeat), RoF 750rpm (480rpm synch)

Mid war - belting: (API ~ AP ~ I ~ API ~ T / alternating with APIT x repeat), RoF 780rpm (540rpm synch)

Late war - belting: (API ~ API ~ API ~ HI ~ APIT x repeat), RoF 840rpm (540rpm synch).

Where:
'AP' is the M2 Armour Piercing round
'I' is the M1 Incendiary round
'T' is the M17 Tracer round
'API' is the M8 Armour Piercing Incendiary round
'APIT' is the M20 Armour Piercing Incendiary Tracer round
'HI' is the M23 'enhanced' Incendiary round

For details of the composition of these rounds, see this post!

Don't get me started on rifle calibre weapons! They need serious fixing up too!
