Hello, just played around with the Sabre in 1.5.4 and noticed something weird.

 

I played the Air to Air gunnery training mission, in case it´s mission specific.

 

I noticed that the lower guns have a vastly different ballistic property then the others.

 

The muzzlevelocity is much lower, to the point where you can outrun your own bullets, and the spread is much higher.

 

Now if this is somehow supposed to be this way, okay, but I was under the impression all six guns where the same XD

I once noticed that some tracers had a different ballistics after switching to all guns again.

 

Further playing around with the switch made it appear that now ALL guns share these bad ballistics.

 

Reproduction should be easy, sit in a Sabre and fire off individual gunpairs and track the ballistic properties..

Might not be that easy to investigate without TacView, as guns in the Sabre overheat very easily nowadays - after a few bursts dispersion gets outrageous and muzzle velocity goes out of the window. Makes switching between guns and test-firing pretty much useless - the only way to do it is reload the mission again and use the chosen pair only.

Well, if it´s based on an overheating mechanic I wasn´t aware off, that might explain the issue.

 

Altho it´s effects are very exagerated. Overheated MGs don´t turn into BBguns.
