The P-59A Airacomet has far too much .50 caliber ammo for its three M2HB heavy machine guns.

 

2. If applicable, the full name(s) of the vehicle(s) affected.

P-59A Airacomet

All difficulty settings as this is a issue with the amount of ammunition available to the vehicle.

Spoiler

As you can see, the three M2HB .50 caliber heavy machine guns on the P-59A Airacomet currently have access to 1,800 rounds of ammunition. This is grossly over performing compared to reality, three times as much ammunition as it historically had.

As per AN 01-110FF-2, the three M2HB .50 caliber heavy machine guns should have a total of 600 rounds of ammunition, 200 rounds per M2HB. It should not be 600 rounds of ammunition per M2HB, totaling to 1,800 rounds of ammunition for the M2HBs.

I do not believe this (image above) is the correct cover page for the actual document, however it's what on the website where I found the manual.

Approved.

 

Good find, suspected it was too much but never could find the qty.

Hope to find 1 more reference, but this is fine.

 

...and found it, page 155~156 lists the same amount.

Even in same document such verification is desirable!
