JA37 AKAN M/75 missing tracers

[Zyranovos]

I know the gun, it just takes a second, and a few short bursts, usually 25-40 rounds to crit a plane. I have better aim without the lead computer usually.

I mean, some belts in game have practice shells
Can’t remember which off the top of my head

EDIT: Japanese Ho-5 cannons have practice shell in the default belt
EDIT #2: French Hispano 404 cannons also have practice shell in the default belt

[TyphoonCro]

I’d say go for the report
The new default ammo (should Gaijin introduce the practice tracer) could be “HEI - P - SAPHEI”
The current default ammo would then become universal

[Zyranovos]

I’ve tried reports, it constantly gives the same error code. I’d love to, but It won’t let me.

I wish there was a way to choose what specific rounds I fire out of my automatic gun. Like a custom belt almost.

[KillaKiwi]

Yeah custom ammo belts would be very confinent 🤔😄

Custom ammo belts (Air/Ground)

poll This was probably suggested before in the old forum. Not sure what happened to it but I didn’t find anything on the new forum. The idea is simple. Just how we can create custom-loadouts for aircraft armament, let players choose their own ammo belts after unlocking the ammo or ammo belts. I was previously against this feature, but I was also against smoke shells and nothing bad came out of these. Depending on the mission or individual playstyle, you want to have a ammo belts suited for th…

[Zyranovos]

Been wanting this for forever.

@Zyranovos
I was looking at German AlphaJet ammo belts currently and noticed something very interesting

Notice the “Practice tracer shell”?
Isn’t that exactly what you were suggesting for the gun on JA37?

[Necronomica]

i mean, they did give tracers to the AJ37/AJS37 so why not the JA37 variants as well?

@Stona_WT

Several Swedish aircraft had no tracer rounds in their belts, which meant there wasn’t a separate stealth belt as it was not needed. This made shooting difficult for these aircraft, so we’ve decided to add the type 5876 armor-piercing tracer round to the existing belts for the Akan m/55 cannon, and a separate stealth belt to this gun as well on the following aircraft: SAAB-105G, SAAB-105OE, AJ37, AJS37, J29D, J32B, J35A, J35XS, J35D and SK60B.

[TyphoonCro]

I could be wrong on this

But gunpods which AJ37 and AJS37 use are based on ADEN 30mm cannon
JA37C/D use Oerlikon 30mm based gun or something? Not sure on that

[Necronomica]

Yes they are different cannons.
i ment more as a principle.

[KillaKiwi]

If there was a Tracer shell, Gaijin would have implemented it.

Even though, now that I think about it, Gaijin is as fast as a snail when it comes to making changes to aircraft cannon ammunition.

[Zyranovos]

indeed

[Zyranovos]

AKAN m/55 is a standard ADEN, AKAN m/75 is a modified ADEN with a completely different shape and ammuntion cartridge size, being a larger mmR cartridge

[Necronomica]

yes?

had you read two more posts.

[Bonrath]

I mean, they’re different as in, one is an actual ADEN and the other is I believe an Oerlikon KCA which is a different gun entirely

[Necronomica]

which… is what i said…

[Bonrath]

Oh ye I forgot to mention that as well.
Sorry mans

[Zyranovos]

I read that as a question, sorry!

[NestleKitkat]

I’m sorry for necroying but, did their 30mm have smoke trails?

I mean, it is understandable Viggens doesn’t have tracers but, if had with a smoke trail, it does almost the same job as a tracer rounds, and is better because it is far less visible.
