Incorrect ammunition count for P-47?

[KetchupWarthog]

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.

Indeed, 300 rounds per gun are in the files.

Count of 300 for all 8 guns.

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

Well spotted.
 

1,000 rounds, not to be sniffed at.
