kraut1 Posted November 13 Posted November 13 (edited) Hi Developers, I suggest to add this weapon modification, because: -The BF109-F1 and F2 were very similar planes. -The main difference was just the MG-FF/M Motor cannon (that jammed frequently) with a 60 round drum magazine. -The plane was already in service (in small numbers) in October 1940 during the late Battle of Britain / The Blitz. According to "Spitfire II/V vs Bf109F Channel Front 1940-42" by Tony Holmes / Osprey Publishing: -No of the BF109-F1 was build ca. 187 -First delivery to I. and Stab JG51 in early October 1940 -First operational combat mission: 9.10.1940 / Stab JG51 -First BF109-F1 shot down (pilot bailed out) over Great Britain: 11.11.1940 / I.JG51 For our IL-2 Great Battles I have created a preliminary additional small modification for testing: -MG151/20 mod for MG-FF/M: -reduced rate of fire -increased dispersion / lower accuracy to reduce effective range to ca. 200m...300m -frequent stoppages due to overheating after long bursts of ca 10...60 rounds (random by IL-2) (Note: the limited 60 rounds in the magazine have to be simulated by the player manually / watch ammo counter) -BF109-F2 AI file -AI pilots open fire at closer distance to avoid waste of ammunition / overheating the weapon to early. -slightly reduced max. AI cruise power to make following the AI leader easier. -Preliminary (not historical) blanc skin with JG51 emblem for tactical codes, based on the Template by BlackHellHound.
