Ammunition power

[zapatista]

interesting post !

i always thought the values used for munitions explosive power and their velocity should be openly provided, in the same way we need aerial speed and climb rates etc (like il2 compare did). that is the only way to confirm that the game is historically accurate and that the values used for both sides are correct and fair.

does anybody know if that list of explosive power and velocity is still accurate, going by the date in that post it was from 2002 ?

we need somebody like josse to have a peak at the files and give us a list of the current values oleg used in 4.09b

I think the individual aircraft armament strength won't matter as much in SOW. The Damage Model will balance the fight. Hopefully with the SOW's new far more detailed DM you will have only two options if you survive a solid burst from any caliber weapon. Bail out or run. I don't think we will see anymore heavily damaged aircraft out running you or out turning you. The fight will be over, and you can turn your attention quickly to the next threat.

This is going to make a huge difference in game play, for the better, IMHO.
