Avimimus Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Hello, Is the self-destruct of the 23mm ammunition realistic for the SPPU? I'm finding it hard to use them from medium altitudes as the ammunition tends to self-destruct prior to reaching the target. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar98 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Not sure, though I don't see anything mentioned here about GSh-23-2 rounds self-destructing. It does mention 23 mm rounds self-destructing for the ZU-23-2 and ZSU-23-4, which is correct. We won't know unless we know what the actual round being fired actually is.

Avimimus Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 Part of me wonders if this might be an oversight on the part of the devs? Updated the 23mm round but didn't take into account the belting for air-to-ground use? Also, I strongly suspect that the semi-flexible mounting, combined with the hardpoint attachment points, should lead to a lot more vibration and dispersion than a fixed mount. When it was first modelled it had much higher dispersion (very useful for clearing out MANPADs). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
