General Japanese & JASDF General Discussion

Damn, really? Just a huge disappointment that you’d expect it to be almost a high altitude monster, but its at best a sidegrade to the regular model.

You can try bug reporting it if you have data on the turbocharger

That’s the hard part, actually finding any…

On unrelated news… the G8N can go well past its statcard top speed. At least +50kph.

Maybe the glorious tester can help?

…Glorious tester?

No Tracer? I heard 13mm Type 2 belts were changed as well. Could someone check how they look?

The HE round is just called IAI in game for some reason. IJN called it Incendiary Projectile.
That IAI filled stealth belt could be quite powerful.

Okay, phew.

Are there any other shells we can get for this belt? We’ve only the US reports showing the three shell types (AP, HE, Tracer), but they can be unreliable.

13 mm Type 2 MG issues. The caliber of the 13 mm Type 2 MG is incorrect. This flexible machine gun is a licensed production model of the MG 131, so the caliber should be 13.0 mm, not 13.2 mm. The weight of the rounds is also incorrect. It should be AP-T rounds instead of AP rounds.

I think the ammunition for the 13.2 mm Type 3 MG is mostly accurate. I wonder if the filling of the incendiary rounds has been simplified.

Finally got some CAS element in the tree

We reported 13mm Type 2 several months ago.
Ball and Tracer appear to have been for training use. Combat belts should have AP-T, HE-T, HE-I, IAI.
Again the IAI round appears to be a fuzeless round, which could be designated as HE-I, IAI or I.

13.2mm Type 3 fix seem to have gone along the report. There is also one about 7.92mm machine guns. We didn’t separate navy and army ammo types in that one.

So, are we missing the HE rounds then?
