WildBillKelsoe Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Just finished a mission with gun failure from ground fire. Is there a way to get the gun back in air? Debrief showed IFFCC gun failure and ( ILS Ant Marker fail irrelevant to topic) I take it I have to land ASAP with this? just fired 120 rounds or so, then basterds down shot back and the rest of it was pure rifles and pickles.. Sorry, my bad: Could it be fixed in air? what to look for? how to diagnose? I tried going through stats page and nothing showed up..

Tholozor Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 If the IFFCC is turned off within 2 seconds (IIRC) after the gun finishes firing, the gun will jam due to the clearing cycle for the casings being interrupted (something of that nature). That would make sense in based on your info. Only other ways would be mechanical or electronic failure of either the gun mechanism itself, or the control systems. In any case, a gun failure usually requires ground crew to fix it.

Nu-NRG Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Were there any actual warnings on caution panel? Any battle damage is repaired on the ground. Aviate - Navigate - Communicate
MTFDarkEagle Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Nope, no fix in air. What you are experiencing is battledamage. RTB to repair. Tholozor is on a different subject though: If you fire the cannon and within 2 seconds of stopping firing you set gun to safe, the gun will jam (clearing cycle as Tholozor explained).

WildBillKelsoe Posted August 18, 2013 Author Posted August 18, 2013 Again happened today without battle damage. I tried resetting un ammo from IFFCC submenu with no luck. I even cycled the IFFCC switch a couple of times. Nothing. I had it recorded but erased the file by mistake. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below.

ENO Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Hmmm- do you have random system failures turned on? "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret. "Sweetest's" Military Aviation Art
WildBillKelsoe Posted August 18, 2013 Author Posted August 18, 2013 Hmmm- do you have random system failures turned on? no, its Georgian hammer mission 7 departing senaki for HQ interdiction. was doing cas for JTAC ferret (west) when during my run I fired and as I broke off, the gun suddenly had XXXX all top... I had almost 870 rounds and after the run had 340 rounds. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower.

ENO Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 The only thing I've seen make it do that is battle damage- so I'm afraid my input may be of little further value. A part of me wants to know how you were certain its not battle damage- when you're in a mission and doing gun runs on enemy targets that I'm going to assume have a propensity to shoot back... But I'm going to take it for granted that you've covered these possibilities and yet still had a system failure- how to rectify it other than returning to base is beyond me.
