1940 MG-FF / Spitfire I / Spit. Ib / BF109-F1 armament mods v02 updated / for JSGME

[kraut1]

Hi all,

Currently I am flying some 1940 BoF and Battle of Duenkirchen missions with Vanders EMG.

 

Mod: early1940-MG-FF_Spitfire-I_armament-mod-v02

UPDATED 04.01.2023: Folder Structure updated for JSGME usage

-For flying BF109-E7 as -E3 and BF110-E2 as -C4 I wanted to simulate the not so powerful blast effect of the Standard MG-FF grenades (no mine shells) that was used until ca. August 1940

I edited the he_020mm_92g_20g_object.txt and used the data from the russian 20mm he shell he_020mm_91g_3g_object.txt.

-For using (only AI plane) the Spitfire VB as a Spitfire Ia with 8 x 7,7mm Bronings I tried this:

  -for the reduced armor penetration capabilities of the 7,7mm rounds I edited the shell_eng_20x110_ap.txt and used the AP Values of thr 7,7mm machine gun round

  -to reduce on the one hand the strong blast of the Hispano cannon and on the other hand to compensate the smaller rate of fire and the much smaller ammo storage I used for the he_020mm_130g_11g_object.txt the the explosive values of the 15mm MG151 HE ammo he_015mm_57g_2g_object.txt.

 

UPDATED 04.01.2023: Mod "early1940..." is tested, ca.20 Vanders EMG Battle of France / Battle of Britain missions, mod works.

Because I have absolutly no experience with modding of these config files the whole thing is just a draft for testing.

But I flew just some minutes ago a mission in a BF109-E7 against a Spitfire. I scored some ca. 5 20mm hits and the Spitfire continued flying (demaged). So maybe it works.

 

Test early 1940:

It works: I have flown 5 1940 Battle of Duenkirchen Missions (with Vanders EMG)  BF109-E3(E7) Missions, I needed more 20mm hits to damage / to shoot down enemy planes and on the other hand the Spitfire I (VB) are able to damage / shoot down german planes, but they too need more hits for this.

 

Mod:  Spitfire_Ib_BF109-F1-armament-mod-v02:

new for autumn 1940 mod to simulate nasty jamming guns with:

-early cannon armed Spitfires

-BF109-F0/F1 (use F2 w.20mm) with MG-FF/M Motor cannon
