Attack Helos

[DRG]

A 20 round burst from an Apache is a tiny bit less than 2 seconds of firing.

10, 20 or 30 rounds would be very close to 1, 2 and 3 seconds each.

This is very useful info. If anyone finds anything of a similar nature about the Mi-24p with the 30mm cannon that would be very helpful as well.

The problem is the Russian gun allows a Low and High ROF but the information I have so far indicates the low cycle rate is generally employed for ground targets and the high ROF for air-air but any further info in that regard anyone can dig up would be helpful because there is some variation on what the low ROF actually is. If pilots tend to fire 2 second bursts this affects ammo loads in the game and right now, for a lot of units the "that seems about right" method was applied and in some cases that decision was made with very sketchy info. Compared to even 5 years ago there is a lot more info on the 'net and we've been working on MBT for 13 years now ( hard to belive even for me......)

That said the ammo load for the existing Apaches is perfect as is for a 20 round / 2 second burst
