well, maybe here you are right - how i hear, damage of 7.62x54r for shkas (or just "of shkas") in game too low, compared with mg-17...

why, don't know... balance etc, maybe... or just mistake...


about berezin 12.7 mm, and shvak - maybe, 12.7 mm should be little more powerfull (not sure)... shvak, in total, not so powerful like mg151/20 or hispano - so, all good here (attached, hits in wing of 109, famous picture and very similar with game, i think)...

but, if for game in future DT include more planes etc for soviet-japanese war'39 (халхин-гол/номонган) and soviet-finnish winter war'40, for shvak of this period (for i-16p etc) need create new shell with 2-3 g of HE (something like this, forgot correct weight of HE now, and in total early shell for shvak very similar with HE-shell for berezin 12.7 mm)...

maybe, i'm little wrong, too long ago i read info about this...
