Very interesting and strange, David.

any information regarding the use of B Geschoss in this period? I remember the ammo was in fact quite similar to the British DeWilde and was used by Luftwaffe /maybe developed for them as well/. Was it belted in Me 109s and bomber gunners as well?

Hey Robo!
well, its not easy to find got sites with information about this...but ive found this:
http://www.waffen-welt.de/bilder/DiePatrone7.92x57.pdf

on page 65 there is a section about the B-Patrone.
it clearly says, that it should have explosvie as well as incendiary effects.
the article also states that it was used by the Luftwaffe...

Thanks David, I did some research for all ammunition types in the game a while back and I am aware of the effects and structure of this type of rounds. But I failed to find any specific information as how exactly has this ammunition been used in the Summer of 1940. I always thought that the B-Geschoss was specifically designed for the Luftwaffe (it was illegal for Infantry afik) In fact, all information about LW historical ammo belts is a bit difficult to obtain, I googled in English and auf Deutsch but no avail.

yeah i had the same problem...i found a couple of articles....one was stating, that the B-Patrone was designed for the Luftwaffe....
you are right that it was indeed forbidden to use this kind of ammo for quite a while, until the germans noticed that russian marksmen were using some similar explosive ammo...only then it was used in infantry as well.

some of the articles say as well, that it was a superiour type to the Pmk, but expensive to produce, so that it was used rarely...however, ill have to talk to pitti again, as he has found a site, with historical loadouts for the 109

Yes I found that info, too. Russian ammunition was different but you're right, this kind of ammunition was quite popular with snipers because of the extended range and very favourable ballistic coeficient.

If you can share the website Pitti found that would be great.
