MG151 and MG FF are attrocious and need to be addressed

this is the most gross amount of negligence ive ever seen done in a game.

SHVAK cannons ingame have 4 grams of explosive mass in there HE rounds

MG-151 Mineshcobe rounds have 18grams and do less damage in protection analysis which doesnt make sense

shvaks use TETRYL and MG151s use HA-41 which HA-41 is more powerfull then tetryl when it comes to explosive power per gram

hispanos also use Tetryl and have higher amount at 6.4Grams

the RE or (relative effectivness factor) is 1.0 RE for Tetryl which is equal to TNT at 1.0 RE
HA-41 has a RE of 1.4

ballistics arent the problem as the MG151 fires HEI at 785 m/s and shvak shoots HEF at 800m/s a difference of 15m/s which is very small this would only increase armor penetration which doesnt matter on planes as all aircraft skin is 1mm thick

18GRAMS of HA-41 is equal to 21-23 grams of TNT
4.13 GRAMS of A-IX-2 is equal to 6 GRAMS OF TNT
6 grams of tetryl is 7.08 grams of TNT

so explain to how with all this evidence gaijin hasnt fixed these bugs as its been reported numerous times to gaijin only to written off how long is gaijin gonna do this ?

literally 2 of the 7MM API rounds do more damage than the MG FF that DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE

Mind you btw THE MG-FF cannons use PETN for there early 20mms which compared to the exposive power of HA41 is STRONGER, PETN has a RE of 1.6 which is far higher than HA-41 and MORE SENSITIVE which is why they stopped using it for safety reasons

so lets do the math
4.59 X 1.6 = 7.3 grams of TNT

which means it should BE ON PAR WITH SHVAKS AND HISPANOS

well gaijin refuses to accept any bug reports about mg151/20 using old damage formulas and the MG/FF just sucks, the best round is the APHE since the other ones deals poor damage, it’s belts are filled with junk and have even worse ballistics than the mg151

They used old codes → They do not know (pretend not to) → They say sources needed → Can’t be datamine. We are in a dead loop, cause it’s the game, where else do we get that info from?

pay $79,99 for CF-188A preorder obviously
