Re: 20mm Hispano guns on Spitfire VB non-explosive?

@Jan_Atreides glad I could help, with what you just said about a simple description such as HE/AA rounds, there is a similar description to what you're describing already in game. If you look at the description of the current rounds you'll see the heavy rounds such as the .50cals listed saying it's good against heavy aircraft. These are the rounds best for takong down bombers but I fully understand where you're coming from.

The 20mm are amazing at disabling aircraft by destroying rudder, taking off wings, disabling engines, etc. The light Mgs are great for dogfighting and saturation ground strafing and the .50cals do the most damage per round to other aircraft but are slower, prone to overheating and have more bullet drop off 🙂

    @Real_NoobalishusOh, sure. I just meant a description of some sort that's actually in the in-game HUD. At present we only have pictures that don't say much about the actual type of round or its' designated purpose. It's not convenient to have to go in and read up from the unlock tree in order to familiarize yourself with the plane's role in its' current outfitting in the middle of a match. This is especially pertinent because we very often have multiple types of the same plane, and we can vary their weapons by selecting different branches in the unlock tree. The tiny picture of the Hispano doesn't tell me much, but if it said '20mm AP', I'd get the picture immediately, and so on and so forth.

    This wouldn't be as big of an issue if we could use every vehicle and upgrade route in the Practice Range, but until that happens, in-game is the only time we even have to test these specific aircraft out. :P
