.50's deserve a buff

No, you won’t, because the 13.2mm hit 0.1s before the Type 99-2 do.

Also the target has to be exactly at 400m. The chance of hitting with both is high but if the target is moving fast and manuering, there is no guarantee you will hit with both.

One of the options I stated.

  1. Keep current ammo belt comps but let the U.S. have real shatter on their .50s like other nations. This isn’t realistic at all by any measure. But if everyone is spewing out insane damage with single hits, the U.S. should have a round that hits like a truck too.

Keeping the same belt comps prevents the the U.S. from having the sweden effect of just detonating people with their machine guns since there’s no air targets, and the only way to get something similar is to use the stealth belt.

or

  1. Let the U.S. have more favorable belt compositions without touching the calculations of the ammunition. Which is what I prefer as it’s more balanced. You’re not having one random round in the belt just snapping wings.

Basically. Give the U.S. an air targets belt that consists of majority M23 and some API-T for the Late war belts.
M1 incendiary with some API and tracers for the mid war.
Then incendiary, AP, then tracers for the early war belts. This doesn’t change the stats of the gun. But it uses the stats of the already available rounds and just gives more of them. Again, the B-239 in the swedish tree uses U.S. ammunition and it has an air-targets belt of just U.S. incendiary and it doesn’t seem to be a completely broken mess.

Changing the other’s ammunition to be more in line with U.S. .50. As in, no Real Shatter, would make it more consistent, and probably even help Sweden the most, making it so some of their planes can go down slightly in BR

Yess gajin give me 50 cal slap ammo

Maybe on MBT mounted HMGs 🙃

Obviously the ammo belts on those are somewhat obsolete.

With helictopers flying around a .50cal Raufoss Mk 211, would be convenient, as you get the full package of AP, Incendiary and fragmentation in one bullet.

This blew my mind. I’ve been tearing my hair out the entire day with .50s

Usually grind a dude to pieces. They don’t die. I catch a dude on fire. he doesn’t die.


Chinese P-47 GRINDS UP my P-47 in a vertical stall after I messed up and lost track of him while dealing with a Bf-109 buddy. I was basically a free shot. All the damage he did. Barely anything worthwhile.

I was still fighting with ease.

I went on to catch an Fw-190 on fire (He only died by messing up his landing) and I fought a spitfire from a disadvantage, ALMOST GOT MY GUNS ON HIM Do-335, Bf-109 G-6 as I was stuck in a 3 v 1
