  • Every time we go into an air battle, we choose to use certain ammunition belts - and it’s not always clear whether we make a right choice, especially given the fact that there are loads of different belt-types in the game. Let’s settle this issue once and for all and answer three simple questions: what types of ammunition belts exist, what do they do… and which ones should we choose!

    Stealth is such an op ammo I dont event care what you say. If you play American planes (especially in the low tiers P-40s and F4Us) you can sit up high in the air, drop on some random plane, and then climb back up and they'll have had no idea what just hit them.

  • @TheByQQ
    @TheByQQ Před 5 lety +3

    As a stealth belt user I felt proud at 4:50. It's just such a great belt, if you make a proper boom&zoom attack the enemy doesn't even know what happened, and if you fail he doesn't know that anything happened at all.
    There's nothing he can do when you fall down on him from above at 600km/h, shooting stealth rounds from a 30mm cannon. By the time he realizes that someone's shooting at him his plane is already in shreds and you're climbing back up to safety. His gunners don't even get a chance to fire at you.

Say for the bf-110g2, stealth for the 30 cals, stealth for the 20mms but universal or air for the 30mms. Some planes like the ones with the hispano 20s, the air rounds have no tracers and are effectively stealth even tho its labeled as air

    If Airborne Warships were added, the round types are as follows
    1. High Explosive
    High Explosive Rounds would range from 1 inch to 21 inches, high Explosive with a timed detonation fuses are effective against air targets like ground attack due to their damage capabilities
    2. Armor Piercing
    AP or Armor Piercing rounds are effective against ground targets and even Other Airborne Warships, the air naval battle of Berlin for example shows 7 Airborne Fleets using Armor Piercing Rounds against German Warships, Bunkers, and Airborne Warships
    3. Aerial Torpedoes
    Aerial/Airborne Torpedoes are modified Torpedoes that have stubby wings, and depending on the models, would have prop motors, rocket motors or jet engines, and depending on the technology used, could be laser guided, heat seaking, AG-
    *beats the everliving HELL out of my demon*
    There, like I said, Laser Guided, Heat Seaking or simply unguided, immobile targets like Hovering fortresses if they are also added, require unguided or Laser Guided Airborne Torpedoes, mobile targets like Airborne Warships require Heat Seaking Airborne Torpedoes and Airborne Torpedoes have three warheads
    - High Explosive
    Effective against Airborne Targets, even Aerial Warships as well, the only downside is that its effective against Airborne Warships with thin armor or just no armor at all
    - Armor Piercing
    Also be effective against warships with thick armor but not against aircraft
    - Armor Piercing High Explosive
    APHE or Armor Piercing High Explosive warheads are very effective against Airborne Warships not just with thick but also thin and no armor

    for me the answer is easy: machine guns use whatever belts have the most AP and I ammo, canons whatever ahs most HE ammo, although i make sure that atleast one of the weapon belts has some tracers, preferably the machine guns
    now sure, machine guns may not be the best against tanks, however, one thing that makes them viable is that i stick to lower battle ratings (usually less then 3.7, although my highest just so happens to be the very same Ki-61-I-Hei used in this video) so, they have low thin enough top armor that with some luck a few shots can penetrate, but the main thing they're good at is shredding planes, as API ammo will penetrate most stuff on airplanes it has increased chance of hitting fuel tanks, which can be devastating, as well as the fact it has enough penetration to (barely) penetrate the back plates found on some air planes

  • @PhantomTangeant

    German 20mm APHE has lower penetration than their API.
    When flying in ground RB, remember that these 20mm API rounds can penetrate the top of some tanks - for example Centurion engine decks - and reliably ignite them, while 'armoured target' belts cannot.
    Universal belts have the highest density of API.

    That was too basic, almost the same as reading the ammo name and get the obvious conclusions.
    We would like techinical data, the projectiles speed, weight, sparking chances, drop and the damage each projectile does, the change of putting fire on a plane...
    It's clear that every part of the plane as a kind of armor/health... and very few parts of the plane are armored. Will the different projectiles do different damages? How many damage a AP would do more than a standard Ball bullet on a wing? Would AP be always best than standard or it would have any kind of advantages, like based on range or the drop?
    I noticed that some updates ago the AP started to wipe wings very easily and the incendiary does almost no damage, but only put planes on fire... you are used to buff/nerf projectiles a lot of times and we are never informed, we just need to luckly find it out on every update...
    You didn't gave us any kind of hint about the diferent changes to put a plane on fire with I/API/IT/HE/IAI (and so on) type of projectiles. You didn't gave us anything about the changes of sparking/ricochet of ammons at diferent angles, distances and speed. Like, what would be the best ammo for shooting at 1km... would it be AP or HE? Will AP got a reduced damage? And HE, it will do the same damage because of the explosion effect?
    There are so many quest you may answer. When you are in a bomber and dive, you have greatly increased chances of killing your enemy, like increased damage as your bullet speed plus the enemy speed increases the damage while the persuing airplane will kind to reduced damage as you are faster and the bullet impact is slower... or ir is just about the distance the bullet fly?
    You cleary loves to say "we are better than WoW as we dont have HP bars", but it is VERY CLEAR that we have HIDDEN HP for every part/module of the planes... but unlike most of the games, we don't have the damage of projectiles as you are afraid to say "yes we have hidden HP for each plane module", as a prove we have the upgrades for +5% and +10% "HP" for the plane parts.
    For example, an 12mm AP shell may have like 30% damage on a wing each shot at 500m, making 4 shoots as same part fatal. And about a API? 20% damage (needing 5 shoot to break the wing) and with like 35% changes of putting plane on fire? And about IT ? 5% damage and 40% fire chances or it would be 15% damage and 20% fire chances? Help us!! Why we can't know those hidden settings? We know you use somekind of damage calculation, show it to us. Is there any kind of lucky shoots? Like, there is 1% chance that one hit on wing will break it instantly with 7mm, 5% with 12mm and 20% with 20mm+ ??
    It's no secret that planes like Ju-87, IL-2 and HS-129 have increased HP on many parts, even when there is no armor... why we can't see it? Every online "shooter" let you know your weapon damage and your enemy HP, and it is just and aerial shooter... please give us acess to information we need. It's not fair that you say "use tracers if you need precision" but a belt full of IT could give like 5% damage and 2% fire chances, making noobs need to hit like 10 shoots while a UNIVERSAL BELT with AP/AP/AP/API would kill a plane in like 4/5 shoots.
    In your video you just say "TRACER belts fire bullets with tracers, AIR TARGETS is good for AIR, GROUND TARGET is good for GROUND and STEALTH fire invisible(stealth shoots), come on, it didn't help anyone, we already read it millions times...

    If you use the later .50 cal guns without the APIT belt you’re a monster.

    I always used stealth belts in all of my aircrats for almost 4 years.😂 It's just great when the enemy doesn't know your location until you fire at them and you killed them.

    Is this instructional video an indication we're not getting fixes for the myriad of historical inaccuracies with many of the Japanese machine gun and cannon ammunition? Fixing the last _"fix"_ of the Ho-103 12.7mm ammunition should be one of the top priorities.

    Stealth belts, not cause I'm a good shot because cause I'm not. Tracers are just a big warning "Here I am shooting at you!!" so stealth actually lets me get kills.

    When using f-82 tracers are mandatory. 14 50 cals spitting fire is fun

    This is all well and good, but it overlooks the fact that when you first unlock an aircraft, you'll be limited to the stock "default" belt until you gain enough XP to unlock the other ammo types.
