Hello guys, I've got a quick and dirty request for you:

The A6M5b in IL2 by default has only a single 13.2mm Type 3 machine gun in the right cowling position.
It should also have a 7.7mm Type 97 machine gun in the left cowling position.

Please create a mod that will alter the default A6M5b to have the missing 7.7mm gun.  There's no need to alter the external 3D model or cockpit.  This is the late war Zero I fly the most as it's the last with a tail hook, and I'd really appreciate it if I could have it correctly armed.

Asymmetic cowling pictured below, 13.2mm on the right and 7.7mm on the left:



Thanks guys!

Bravo!

I support this request (that should have been better posted in the "Rebels" section, though).

I too fly always "52b" during last phases of Pacific war (if flying for IJNAF), being not yet overloaded like the 52c and following marks. Japanese Vickers are quite effective and also that bit of more puch would be useful against enemy fighters.

I'm sure it was part of HSFX, don't know about other modpacks. Extracting could be thinkable.

Regards,
GB

To make this change it is necessary to use a 3D expert!
We must rebuild the mesh Engine ... and maybe CF mesh!
In contrast, the Java code change is very easy to do!
I fear that this demand is like the others... Not now!

meshes should be available in ie HSFX7:
(but no code changed as the MG doesn't fire  ).

Also cockpit would require some work:

To be fair, I did say that I wasn't too concerned about the meshes or cockpit, I just want the extra punch!

of course yes.

I am pretty sure Gabriel (Epervier) will have a look ..

If I understood even HSFX7 there a mistake!
I see : 1x13.2mm (Engine) + 2x20mm (Wing)!

Extraction tests being done ... for 409!

If I understood even HSFX7 there a mistake!

they simply made the correct meshes
but didn't change the stock code ..

Perfect for Rebels !

@ _Hans ... and others !

Please test this version : see below !

If you are happy I'll make a new post!
In theory this Mod it should work in 410, but I gives no warranty!

Remember : the "stocks" skins do not work with this version!
