Machine gun selection on US planes - Catahoulak9 - 27.03.2008

If there's one thing I really hate it's to unexpectantly run out of ammo. You've all been there, you finally get the guy in your sights after a long hard fight, pull the trigger and you get a big fat nothing. You pull the trigger again and again pleading "I only need a few more rounds" Crap!! If only I was in a P-47...

I know gun selection was possible on some US planes. The P-47 in the game is the only all gun plane that splits it's guns up and can be fired seperately. The P-51D has different loads for two of the 6 guns but none of the others give any warning of low ammo. Tracers are always loaded so that's out.

My question is:
Can machine guns on appropriate model planes be changed to allow them to either be selected and cycled through or fire separately like the P-47?

I don't know enough about programming to know if something like this would even be possible.

That would be a great mod! European Air War allowed gun selection in several aircraft and real pilots would sometimes use four out of six machine guns in combat and reserve the last two for the trip out of the combat area.
