That’s the reason builders hate engineers overcomplicating things also XD.
So, these shells were previously produced without quality control? Ok.
How do I know what they do in Belgium(Nexter / MECAR), it’s not like the US uses that ammo anyway. Which is why I provided a listing (and data) for actual service ammo.
All projectiles must comply with the STANAG4173 standard and you cannot arbitrarily change the manufacturing technology just because you want to.
Might want to read up on what exactly 4187 compliance actually entails.
Isn’t it about safety?
In real life the 550 RPM mode is used to combat infantry and soft targets. Saturation not accuracy would be the goal of the training.

there is saturation then there is missing the target by country miles which is what happens with some of these footage, not to mention you need accuracy to hit targets at distance, explosive autocannon rounds arent as effective as grenades of the same caliber in spreading shrapnel so you still need accurate shots.
I don’t think any automatic cannon is as accurate as they are in the game, not even the anti-air ones. Keep in mind, the crew’s level in the game really boosts the accuracy we see
depends, western cannons as a whole are less accurate though imo, spread on bushmaster 30mm and 35mm is nigh identical to the m242.
there is a video around of a ukranian bradley sniping an fpv with like 10 shots, ukranians have m2a2ODS SA bradleys.
Regardless of X or Y, I just pointed out the reason why auto-cannons accuracy is good in the game. There’s no reason to nerf one individually.
would you prefer a 2a42 or a 30mm bushmaster 2?
Accuracy of pretty much everything in war thunder is buffed significantly. the 2a42 is just a particularly egregious example.

And the BRs of the vehicles that have the gun are higher than they would be otherwise even if proven inaccurate.
bmp 2m would be fine were it is even with nerfed accuracy, bmp2 could go down to 8.3 and be fine, bmp 2md either doesnt get nerfed or also goes to 8.3.
With how small most of the war thunder maps are, i don’t even think a br change would be necessary. They’ve basically removed sniping as is.
yeah i also agree, a wider spread would be a minor nerf considering the large rof.
I don’t think you understand the reason to have large dispersal of rounds in this instance do you?
This is the equivalent of dropping one bomb on infantry compared to 1000 of the same bomb, more volume over a large area generally correlates to more targets hit, and at least damaged, if not killed.
Comparing anti-personelle cluster munitions and a bomb is really the only comparison I can make that makes sense.
2A42 over the Bushmaster every day, and not even because of the accuracy, because of the fire rate. Now if you picked a Bofors 40/70 or a 2A42 I’d pick the bofors, mostly because it fires faster and more accurate than the bushmaster and slightly slower and laser accurate compared to the 2A42.
Not even in war thunder, in real life I’m picking the 2A42. I’d trust the Shipunov over the Bushmaster to keep me alive
Soviet 30mm autocannon shells are far and away superior to 25mm HE to the point it might literally take 4 25mm rounds to match even a single 30mm HE, since one of them is actually capable of fragmentation, and the other is an anti aircraft mineshell for helicopters.
So 1 round in a set skipped off when shifting the aimpoint…?
If you think that’s true you must really think machine guns are inaccurate huh?
