1.JaVA_Platypus Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I noticed that if you fire the cannon, the ammunition explodes automatically after a few seconds (if it didn't hit anything first) It looks a bit like the AA Flak guns and their shells wich were used in WWII. I assume it is some kind of safety feature so that when you are in some kind of aerial dogfight, not all the explosive ammo will hit random places in perhaps a city. Does anyone know after at what distance these shells explode? Happy Flying! :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upupandaway Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 To my knowledge, there are many (if not all) types of HE-ammunition that will explode after a set time. You can also observe this on more modern (post WWII) AAA like the Shilka. The most recent development are shells which can be programmed to detonate after a certain time / distance travelled, depending on the range to the target. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Deedle, deedle!
