What's Minengeschoss?
Minengeschoss is a type of ammunition that was introduced on the MGFF/M cannon. It is basically a thin walled round with even more HE content than ordinary explosive rounds. This type of round was not available on the MGFF used on the E-3 and earlier models.
[quote]The E-3 was replaced by the E-4 (with many airframes being upgraded to E-4 standards starting at beginning of the Battle of Britain) which was different in some small details, most notably by using the modified MG-FF/M wing cannon and improved head armor for the pilot. The MG FF/M fired a new and improved type of explosive shell, called Minengescho
