Re: Aircraft weapons
DRG,
There are pick out there on the net you just have to look. One of the sites I looked at had a pic of a Serbian M-84 that was destroyed by the GAU-8. No big holes just the turret blown off with a US GI standing on it. It had that funny burnt looking color of the M47 Patton that you mentioned. I saw that one too but never mentioned it because as you mentioned this does not compare to a modern MBT.
On another note I did some tests last night and by giving the GAU-8 sabot ammunition (9 Pen) and a weapons range of 130 and a sabot range of 130 it performed much better but was no uber weapon. About 1 in 3 or 4 passes were leathal to Iraqi T-72s. I also gave the gun a HE Pen of 2 and kept the 27 He kill value. This kept it effective against unarmored vehicles. Have not tested against infantry yet.
Another idea I tried was to give the A-10 was a AP value of 7 to match the number of tubes. This had little effect when loaded with only HE ammo but seemed to be to much with Sabot. So I put the AP value back to 1. More experiments to come.
