Struggling with the gunnery on the Bfs E3/4 (not the sight placement problem).

1. What was/is the default convergence on these ac? No value entered/indicated in the weapons menu - just lists 'default'.

2. It is a 105m sight ring (same as the Spit/Hurris)?

Hi. That was the default settings in RL:

This might help, it's the LW ammo types. I posted this on SimHQ a while back.

SmK - ammunition was AP (armour piercing) with a hard steel core and a lead sleeve (pointed ball with core)
Anything with the suffix 'L'spur' means tracer. The SmK H has a tungsten core. (better penetration)

The SmK ub m is the HE (high explosive) version. The Zerl part indicates it was equipped with a self destruct fuse.

PmK is basically the SmK with phosphorous that ignigtes on firing.

The 'B' round is an observation round, small ammount of HE and incendiary material, similar to the British Dixon/De wilde.

The second lot in the load out list are a bit harder.. They are all 20mm rounds that were used as tracer for the mineshell round, as there were no mineshell tracer rounds. The 'panzer' ones are either HE or AP and the 'brand' ones are incendiary.

The LW tended to load up with AP for the eastern front (those damn IL-2's!) or HE for the British and American planes.

Really helpful, many thanks!

You can navigate to your CoD folder within your steam folder and in one of the subfolders in there you'll find the pdf manual.

There is a table in there that expands and translates all the LW acronyms.

Alternatively, you can download Flea's checklists and have a look at the ammunition types.
