Ammo types.

So yesterday I edited a file to make my MiG-15bis fire all tracer rounds, but I noticed something - the 37mm seemed to do less damage. So I did an experiment, simple mission, right behind a Sabre, firing at him with the N-37D only. Sure enough, I was consistently doing far less damage with tracer rounds than with non-tracer ones (one time he took 4 shots before he went in to an unrecoverable dive), which raises the question: are tracer rounds only AP-I? If this is the case, would it be possible to fire only high damaging HE tracer rounds?

Interesting...

I think it is entirely possible having shot lots of 37mm... sometimes it does appear there's no explosive in it when hit.

 

A test with M61A1 with all tracer load can produce better result i reckon.

Certainly is... B29s seem to take far too many shots of any 37mm rounds. These can take up to 4 hits directly to the top of the wing, but Sabres just fall apart completely when hit by it (so satisfying). 37 to the tail usually results in the whole tail falling apart or loss of at least one stabiliser, while a fuselage shot usually does non-fatal damage but completely ruins the plane. 23s to the fuselage, on the other hand, seem to mostly set it on fire (which goes out after a few seconds), but he keeps flying, unless it's more than like 3 shots. Any of these to the wing is 99% fatal, so all in all I'm totally enjoying the damage models, Wings over Korea and the game in general. Great work by you guys on these amazing mods!

In the reality, the tracer need some space in the bullit. It contains less explosives. Thatswhy you normaly use rounds with tracers and without tracers. If i remember correctly the ratio was 3 rounds without tracer and one with tracer.

The MiG guns were always loaded with a mix of AP and HE rounds. But i have forgotten in which ratio was used. Perhaps one AP and then two HE, or one AP and one HE? Sorry its to long ago.

B-29 is too big. I couldn't find a "balanced" setting vs medium bombers like A-26 and Tu-2. But you can tune it down by reducing

StructuralFactor=

in the _data.ini

 

 

^Open modding. Set it however ya like yourself. Tis good hmm hmm
