Centreline guns trough propeller?

[Dili]

Guns trough propeller are obviously not affected by syncro mechanism so what they should be considered?

[dr.hal]

Guns through the center-line hub of a propeller are not synchronized true, as the muzzle of the weapon extents past the blades of the propeller from the hub. But I'm not sure what your question is. Considered for what? They are front firing weapons long the center-line of the aircraft. Is that what you mean?

[Dili]

I mean what set in editor lits them as trough sync with respective penalty or not. For example in the Airacobra the 37mm is listed as CL like the two 12.7. Those 12.7 were in sync, but the 37mm no. Same for some Soviet fighters.

CL just means it is on the centerline, and I believe as a result receives an accuracy bonus. Synchronization would affect rate of fire, so would be accounted for in accuracy.

I believe to model this you would have to have a separate device to represent synchronized vs non-synchronized weapons. Given that the impact for most guns wasn't massive, its probably not worth the effort.

[Dili]

So i must have made confusion. I thought there was an option for centerline with rate of fire penalty. So it is only centerline with precision advantage.

[Big B]

Yes, CL rewards the gun with an accuracy boost, because there is no cone of convergence or harmonization at range to worry about.
