I DID A MISTAKE
didnt notice the caliber has changed, I just looked at the version of the cannon

have noticed a strange fact about the A/J21RA/RB, they have both around 1kg of one second burst mass less than their prop versions, even when in game they got the same guns, but weirdly the ones on the jet variant are the same but with half the speed. Wikipedia says the jet versions also had the same guns (1 20mil akan m/45 and 4 12.7 akan m/39)
I am just wondering why it is like this, and maybe why did they have them like that irl if its historically accurate in the game?

Also noticed an interesting thing about the J21, and that was that those additional fuel tanks at the wingtips were used as incendiary bombs, would be another good addition to it for CAS, maybe an option when spawning if you want to have napalm in the tanks instead of fuel

As far as i am aware everything’s here ok. After the war Sweden ditched 13.2mm HMG because it used not as popular ammo as .50 BMG. Also .50 was cheaper and J21RA/RB were to be used as a training planes.
