DCS Bf 109K-4: Ammo Loadout

[Bowie]

Looked into the Bf 109K-4, and found 450 RPG for the MG 131's, and 60 RPG for the 30mm MK 108.

These should be 300, and 65, respectively.

Can we get these file line-item corrections (Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\WWII Units\Weapons\"Weapons.lua") addressed in the next update?

Along w/ that correction, also created .ula's for both the Bf 109F-4 (MG 151/20 & MG 17), and G-6 (MG 151/20 & MG 131), with the correct load-outs as well.

They work great.

Let me know if you're interested.

Please advise.

If anyone is interested, this is the Bf 109G-6 "Weapons.lua"

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\WWII Units\Weapons\Weapons.lua file.

Rename "Weapons.lua" to "Weapons - OEM.lua", or something else.

Import and rename attached file "Weapons.lua".

MG 151/20 "Motorkanone"/200 rounds, and OEM MG 131 w/ 300 RPG

Will definitely try that.

If only we could strangle the engine to get G6 preformance for AI it would be awsome.

Call it a Bf 109G-14, a late production G-6 with most of the performance upgrades and right for the Normandy AO.

Although, have found that, in my opinion, only the "Ace" AI pilots use the WM boost.

And they are very good, especially with a "Veteran" wingman, as are slated in my missions.

Beware of Hans.

I tried to use your lua, but when I did, all my WW2 fighters were gone from the mission editor

 

Edit, never mind. A comma had snuck in

It works great, and it's definitely more enjoyable with the 20mm over the 30mm.

It's effective against the Mustang and probably the Spitfire. Not sure if a single 20mm will be very effective a P47.

Gunfreak does the cockpit in VR feel small ?  I watched a video regarding how small the pit was I like the idea nice and tight.

It feels small when you try and turn your head. As it's really easy sticking the head out of the canopy.

Are you saying that this change would lower the amount of ammo the BF-109 is loaded with? I am not sure i understand? why would that be a good thing? 

[Blackhawk NC]

and will it pass the integrity check?

It will change the 13mm ammo to the correct amount, which is good in a realistic simulator. And instead of 65 30mm with the range of a snowball. You get 200 20mm. Which is far more useful in fighter vs fighter combat.

I doubt it will pass integrity check.

Have been running this "G6" Weapons.ula for over a week, now.

Big improvement on both sides of the muzzle.

Have not had the empennage of my P-51D-25-NA blown off once, but have suffered a much higher amount of mauling, generally.

And dogfighting in the Bf 109K is now possible.

Won't be going back, unless it is (required) for an on-line engagement.

Can this be added as an OEM Armament Option for the Bf 109K?

Found an interesting tidbit while rebuilding the Omni-Mission set to the 24 v. 24 standard.

In the Bf 109-K4 "Load-Out" screen, there is a ellipsis (three dot) tab for additional items.

The WM50 boost tank - with an option for "Empty"

Voilà! G6 performance.

Doesn't affect AI I'm afraid.

Reflected tried to make the 109s behave better in his campaign. But whenever they climed, they climbed at full power with MW50, even if he had removed the MW50.

But it works great for players.

This issue was addressed in the 20JAN25 DCS 2.9.12.5336  update:

"Aircraft AI. AI BF-109 still benefiting from MW50 even if the MW50 tank is set to empty- fixed"

Thank you DCS/Dev.

I saw that.

Very good news. I haven't tested it yet. To see if I can notice any difference
