As a follow-up to show just how mindboggling using the figure for KDA and KDE is;
How does anyone even believe that the source for GA35 is even remotely viable as a source for the two oerlikon cannons, when it is literally a completely different gun?!
At the same time, what @Smin1080p_WT said previously doesnt paint the whole picture
The brochure quite literally states the maximum deviation values right below the typical (1 Sigma) ones.
or does “max” mean “maybe, nah actually 0.6mrad max means 1.66mrad max”
Even if you argue that the values above it are more “reliable” this still does not, in any way shape or from, justify nerfing ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CANNONS on the sole bases of “can fire same ammo” (it cant fire all rounds that KDA and KDE can btw but who cares if we are now nerfing gun dispersion based on a completely different gun, eh?)
After double-checking, it turns out it fires ammunition that vastly differs from the oerlikon ammo:
Differing values are;
- Much higher max and average gas pressure (KDA/KDE: 385MPa max)
- Different Muzzle-Safety (KDA/KDE HEI, HEI-T, APHEI-T: 20m)
- Different Tracer Duration (KDA/KDE: >4s)
- Different SD time (KDA/KDE: 5.5s)
Edit 2:
I just realised that they flat out lied about the dispersion it had previously:
Before the changes, the maximumDeltaAngle was 0.08°, which corresponds to circa (<) ~1.4mrad, i.e. 1.4m at 1000m and NOT 1.3m as they claimed.
They then ALSO lied by claiming they increased it by 15% to 1.5mrad, i.e. 1.5m at 1000m as they changed the maximumDeltaAngle to 0.095°, which corresponds to 1.66mrad, i.e. 1.66m at 1000m.
1.3m * 1.15 = 1.495m
even using maxDeltaAngle its still a lie:
0.08° * 1.15 = 0.092°

The Dev Server is Opening with Major Update “Ninth Wave”! — 16.03.2026 (Dev Server is OPEN) - #1570
So ig the new summary is:
→ Takes source for GA35 that lists typical and maximum values
→ Ignores maximum values and calculates them based on typical ones instead (arguably justfiable)
→ Nerfs two ENTIRELY UNRELATED AND COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CANNONS (KDA/KDE)
→ Lies about previous ingame dispersion value
→ Lies about new ingame dispersion value (or accidently messes it up, idk)
This is so incredibly absurd and dishonest in every single way you can imagine it.
