Can we choose our ammo preset?

[SCG_motoadve]

Load more incendiaries or less tracers or make any custom set.

I see it as an option , but only one is present and nothing can be changed?

[TP_Jacko]

Correct no capability to change.

I agree it would be nice to mix up the type of rounds

[Finkeren]

This would mean that tracers would be gone from MP in an instant, which I think would be a shame.

No, with the exception of removing tracers it's mostly ahistorical anyway. The typical line pilot had little to no control over his ammunition belt. Those decisions were made much higher up the chain of command.

The complet removing for tracer was seldome but at least for german pilots it was very well possible to alter his ammunition belt. To enable him to do that effectively the germans made a manual which explained all sorts of ammunition and what it does best and what it can´t do. In this manual are a variety of belts that had proved to be effective for diffrent jobs like ground attack, night fighting, ... It also stated that these belts can be changed if the leading armorer on the airfield agree with the change proposed and there is no shortage in supplies of that ammunition. For example: As a fighter pilot you encounter a repeating situation in which you have the impression that enamy planes which you fight burne easyly than you could ask your armorer to use twice as many incendiary projectile as normal. If your flightleader and the armorer agree to try this your belts would be changed and if you are successful whit your loadout than the armorer would inform higher up command which would lead to a update of the manual.

It would be nice, however, to be able to choose between a more varied selection of historical combinations other that just AP, HE or AP+HE.

[Gunsmith86]

Well to use the basic belts from the manual would be the best thing to do.

A sistem like in clifs of dover would be amacing and very interesting

[Blutaar]

I think it will never happen, it was in CloD and if the devs wanted such a feature, they had implemented it right from the start!

Yep, I think that would be a great thing to do. A more detailed description of the belting and the option to choose from historical pre-sets would be great. I can't remember if the devs have ever stated that its something they might do at some point

With a small team and a complex product to bring to market in a fairly short period of development time, I don't think that such a thing is necessarily the case.
