Elusive Italians

[Wdll]

I don't know what is realistic. But when the above Italian has 6 and 6 and the greek has 5 and 10 and the british scorpion has 38 and 38, then it just doesn't feel right.

Pretty much why I thought it strange & had a quick look in the first place, according to Marcellos source they both in fact have similar loadouts 65 vs 76 shots instead of 12

That would be a lot of 76mm then! - Scimitar, Shirley !. (and 27 + 28 usually)

The Rarden is not an autocannon, per se. It is a rather accurate self-loading 30mm with the ability to fire a maximum of 2 clips of 3 at a rather low (180RPM?) rate if required (AA fire really).

So it's classed as an autocannon weapon class 19 simply to enable the odd blast of auto at passing helos, but fire at ground targets will mainly be 1-2 rounds each individually triggered, not default bursts of 5-10 as with other autocannons. Thus the ammo lasts longer for a given quantity.

As usual looking at this is not a simple mater then that makes sense & I am assuming without checking that my percieved view that some 20mm have low loads is due to high ROF as in number of shells in a burst.

Actually no. I was wrong for the name but I meant to say Warrior II. It has 30mm and 38 and 38.
