P-47 should have 3,400 rounds total, but currently the game only has 2,400 rounds (300 per gun). English manual pg. 46 states 425 rounds per gun with fire rate of 800-890 rpm which should have a firing time of 29-32 seconds, but current it fires for only ~22 seconds. This affects all three variants (D-30 early, D-30, D-40) although only the D-40 is used for the attached report. Attached files contain the following: P-47D-40 gun count 44 strafing.trk - track file of singleplayer mission on Caucasus Tacview-20230921-172412-DCS-P-47D-40 gun count 44 strafing.zip - Tacview file of said mission Screen_230921_172456.jpg - in-game debriefing dcs.log - per requirement for bug report Of note are items #2 and #3, with the Tacview showing exactly 2,400 rounds were fired while the image shows debriefing of firing stops after 22 seconds. Steps to reproduce (formality's sake): Create singleplayer mission with any P-47. In-air or ground start doesn't matter Fly to altitude to prevent ground safety Hold fire button until empty.

Good to know, thanks for digging into the game files. I'll open a bug report, can you help to post your finding there? I'll post this image in the report submission for the time being

Can someone help confirm or inform me whether the P-47's ammunition load is correct? I noticed the P-47's firing time seem abit shorter than my experience in other games, so I did a test in singleplayer. The guns (for all 3 variants) last around ~23 seconds with Tacview counting only 2,400 rounds fired instead of the advertised 3,400 rounds. I've attached the tacviews here, but haven't gone round to recording a trackfile (note that Tacview makes no distinction between the variants and label them as "P-47D"). I also used two different belts of the regular '44 (API_M8 in Tacview) and the '44 strafing (APIT_M20). The manual states 425 rounds per gun and a fire rate of 800-900 rpm, which should have between 28-32 seconds total firing time. I suspect there was an error where they mistyped 3 as 2 and causes the missing 1,000 rounds. The fire rate appears to be correct at 800rpm (2400/8 = 300 rounds per gun, 300*60/800 = 22.5 seconds per gun). I would also rule out gun jamming from overheating (if it was even modelled) as it is coincidental for all 8 guns to stop firing at the exact same time and all 3 recording tests counted exactly 2,400 rounds fired.
