It either matches the correct numbers or it doesn't. So if you cannot post actual numbers, both for the real weapon, and it's velocity in game, you have no leg to stand on here.

Hence even though it "seems" to me that the MK 108 is grossly over modeled in the game, you won't here me begging for a change based on my feelings.

Considering that the MK108 is a HighExplosive and Mine-projectiles weapon belting that makes this kind of damage with a single shot:


I don´t think it´s "grossly over modeled" in game. In my opinion it´s a bit undermodelled.

Muzzlevelocity:
ingame: 500 m/s+525 m/s (the game uses 2 tiype of bullets)
real 540 m/s

Rounds:
50 ingame
65 in real

Rounds/Minute:
in game 600 rpm
in real 660 rpm(The rate of fire was to be improved to 850 rounds/minute later but not in game)

There is a little issue, yes. But I don't think it's just 50 rounds. In which plane? I've counted 65 in the 109s, but I think it's just 50 in the FWs. And there it should be more maybe. I know just the exact max load for the MG FF since A-5 which is 90 and not 60.
The MK 108 issue is just that the HE round does very little damage while the MG round is the killer it's supposed to be. Usually I shoot off the first bullet of the first 2 MKs in the 262 and have a mix of 2 MG and 2 HE then everytime I shoot and it does pretty well then. If I don't some of the hits I achieve do very little damage which accounts to the HE rounds.
A simple belting with MG only would fix this issue easily.

you may have an issue with 108s in game, i wont dispute that

however, using this photo to prove a point is invalid, did you know that for this test, they hung the mk 108 round in the middle of the fuselage and then detonated it?
it was not fired into the fuselage
