Hello,
I'm new to WOG WW2 - Dawn of War, but an old player to the WW1 WOW/WOG series of games. I have only replyed to other's posts, and this will be my first one.
A friend introduced me to the WW2 game, and he and I played a basic scenario with no altitude rules between an Me109K and a P51D Mustang. That game created some confusions as to the armament power of the Me109K. I am confused as to the veracity of the Me109K armament as shown on the airplane card that came out of the box.
What I mean is, is the card accurate as is with a D deck damage and two C damages at close range and 2 C's at long range? Shouldn't the Me109K which was armed historically with 1 30mm cannon (often changed back to a 20mm due to unreliability of the Mk108 30mm and slow speed of the shell and lack of accuracy at long ranges vs the fast firing and accurate long range and reliable Mg151 20mm cannon) and two 13 mm Mg131 Machine guns (these are very similar in power and performance to the american 50cal MG's) only have a D damage deck and a B damage deck at close range and a C and an A at long range?
Every German fighter airplane cards that I have been able to analyze for the WOW/WOG seems to indicate that the C damage deck is to be used for 20mm type cannons at short range and B damage should be used for dual 50cal sized mg weapons at short range. Given that the Me109K may have carried a 30mm cannon that would use a single D deck, what's the catch for the other 2 C damage at short range then? Its not like its carrying two 20mm Cannons in the wings, it only has 2 13mm Mgs in the nose.
Hoping someone can point me to an armament conversion chart used by the Ares team designers for their WW2 product planes to alleviate confusion here.
Thanks,
Nate
