actually no, i could guess but that would be pointless.
so feel free to explain it, now im curious.
The outer barrel needs far more recoil compensation than the inner due to the barrels being placed horizontally.
One of them is further from the center of the turret, therefore enacts more force on the turret with the same amount of recoil.

No, both should go down in BR.
Because the Roland has to wait for a reload after 2 missiles and if you don’t see it anymore you have to wait until the slow thing has reached 8km and explodes to start the reload.
If you have all 8 ready to fire you can override the previous missile control instantly.

You are comparing four simultaneously firing 30mm guns to a 20mm gatling.
One sends out bullets from four barrels, the other only from one.

You only fire 1 barrel per gun at the time and you can actually do this in game, iirc all russian twin barrel guns does not fire both barrels simultaneously, i cant say for sure as i cant find internals picutres for the 2a38 but they probably have a similar working principle as the gsh 23L as the desing is less bulky than the gear on the gsh 30-2,
China has the 625E as an all in one, and FK2K as sort of a more Pantsir thing(can’t remember what it was actually called, made up one)

2 30mm guns to a rotary, how is my comparison wrong in any way?
One is a gast gun with 2 barrels, the other is a rotary with 5 (or 6 for the vulcan).
The entire point of me saying
Was to emphasis on the stupidity of counting barrels instead of actual weapons.
One sends out bullets through 2 barrels using 1 firing mechanism, the other sends out bullets through 6 barrels using 1 firing mechanism.
Tell me you have no clue how the 2A38M works, it would still give me less info on your knowledge of the topic than simply reading your uneducated replies.
They alternate, it would be physically impossible for both barrels to fire at the same exact time, as one barrel’s recoil action is what causes the next cartridge to prime.
The 2A38M uses the same exact receiver as the GSh-30-2, the only difference is in cooling and barrel design.
2A38M
To my knowledge it is, though the GSh-23-2 uses a far more rudimentary design due to the far lower chamber pressure of 23x115mm.
And you tell me how this has ANY relevance to the game???
One sends a single line of bullets, the other spreads it across four making it much easier to actually hit a target.
Nobody mentioned that and it couldn’t be more irrelevant.
There could be a single gun that shoots out of 15 different barrels one after another. If the RoF is high enough it’s effectively 15 guns shooting at your plane.
That’s the only thing that matters.
Well, when I said no other country I meant that more as an exaggeration. China has a somewhat similar doctrine of combined arms as Russia, especially far more limited in diversity with their need for amphibious platforms as well.
Would love to see the 625E, though, it’s pretty much on par with the Pantsir.
The FK-2000? I can see that as a sort of Pantsir equal, though it may be a bit better as well.
the jaguar only has LGBs there is no way you are out ranging a tunguska with those, unless the player is blind which is its own problem
If you had read the rest of the thread instead of interjecting into a conversation you seemingly have no knowledge in, you might see.
Again, learn how to read. Better yet, go to some counciling and learn how to interact with other human beings.
Yes… And that’s the exact methodology behind both gast guns and rotaries.
One singular firing mechanism, a ton of barrels to reduce downtime between shots.
Rotaries have 1 singular firing mechanism, where in the Vulcan’s case there are 6 different feed modules that transport cartridges to the 12’ position to be fired 1 at a time.
In the gast system, there are 2 different feed modules that alternate firing based off of the piston stroke of the previously fired barrel.
Both have 1 singular priming mechanism. Both have 1 means of firing a bullet, and simply relegate it between multiple barrels so complications presented by a conventional system are entirely sidestepped.
You can easily outrange a Pantsir with LGBs, let alone a Tunguska.
Hell… You can entirely BLINDSIDE a Pantsir with LGBs, a tunguska has almost no chance if your’e competent enough.
no you really cant, the max range the laser can hit is 8km which the last time I checked is well with in the ranges of the pantsir and tunguska, not to mention with LGBs you cant go defensive or you lose the laser.
and thats not out ranging them thats called using map knowledge, which can again be easily countered if the enemy player is some what intelligent

Maximum designation range is ~19km.
You can guide an LGB as far as you can lob them, the only factor that goes into guidance is their ability to receive the designation and their range to that designator. Typically most bombs have to be 4km from the destination point to be able to receive guidance, while you can toss them from as far as 15km without issue.
you absolutely can go defensive with your tgp? The ATLIS-II has a near exact 180dg azimuth. A Tunguska wouldn’t be able to hit a perpendicular aircraft from 7-8km away, let alone 12-15km.
Map knowledge isn’t sitting outside of their radar bounds, primarily directly above them. It’s more than easy to do.
It’s normally the opposite.
good luck doing that with a pantsir
damn I guess I must be some kinda god since I can normally get 2-4 air kills a game in a stormer
they must have changed that since the last time I played a few months ago, it used to only be 8km but I havent actually played with LGBs in a long while
9.7 is the Q-5
Just want to say that the Q-5L is 10.3 in Ground Realistic if I recall, I own all of China aviation and the gap between the Q-5A and L is pretty big but only in Air RB (only in ground munition as well).
The Q-5L is incredibly underperforming as well, it just recently received countermeasure after YEARS of complaining and still lacks any form of defensive air to air missiles like found on the A-5C.
