Heyo
after some chatting while flying on 14.01.2018 i asked in the blue channel if it would be beneficial to have some kind of translation of the (quite complicated) names for the german ammunition in CLOD:Blitz.
So i went ahead and typed this together:
MG Rounds (8mmx57mm applicable for all MachineGuns including Gunners) :
SmK Spitzgeschoß mit Stahlkern = SmK is the abbreviation , Spitzgeschoß = tipped round , mit Stahlkern = steel core = basically standard AP
SmK L´Spur (gelb) Spitzgeschoß mit Stahlkern ,Leuchtspur = same as above but L´Spur Leuchtspur = tracer (yellow)
SmK L´Spur (weiß) Spitzgeschoß mit Stahlkern ,Leuchtspur = same as above but tracer (white)
SmK Üb m. Zerl. Spitzgeschoß mit Stahlkern,Übungsmunition mit Zerleger = same as above but with a HE component , without tracer = should be a training round for confined spaces (shooting range) , currently does act like mini HE
PmK Phosphorgeschoß mit Stahlkern = Incendiary round with phosphorous as the incendiary component , also with steel core , no tracer
B Beobachtungspatrone mit Zerleger = observation round , a bright flash when it hits , no tracer , can be used to see if your hitting at all , should be able to ignite canvas surfaces according to JG4_Karaya
MG FF rounds (E3 , 110 C2 ...) 20 mm:
dont be distracted by the several more available rounds, only 2 types for the FF cannon !
2 cm Spgr.Patr L´Spur FF m . Zerl - 2cm Sprenggranatpatrone Leuchtspur FF mit Zerleger = really complicated naming : Spreng = explody , granatpatrone = grenade ammo (but not to be taken literally) , its basically an HE round (filling ~ 6grams) , in this context Zerleger means it will self-destruct after a certain range and has a tracer
2 cm Pzgr.Patr. FF o.Zerl. - 2cm Panzergranatpatrone FF ohne Zerleger = also really complicated naming for a simple AP round...this time without tracer and no self-destruct
MG FF/M rounds (E4, 110 C4 and basically all planes with MG FF/M cannons):
2cm Pzgr.Patr. FFM o.Zerl. - 2cm Panzergranatpatrone FFM ohne Zerleger = AP round without tracer and self destruct
2cm Pzbrgr.Patr. (Ph) FFM o.Zerl. - 2cm Panzerbrandgranatpatrone (Phosphor) ohne Zerleger = the big brother of the incendiary MG-round with phophorous incendiary component
2cm Pzsprgr.Patr. L´Spur FFM m.Zerl. - 2cm Panzersprenggranatpatrone Leuchtspur FFM mit Zerleger = AP round with fragmentation once it's pierced a piece of armor. Designed to detonate after 10mm of penetration. Very effective against armor plating usually found on aircraft. (shamelessly copied from JG4_Karaya´s post)
2cm Brsprgr.Patr. L´Spur FFM m.Zerl. - 2cm Brandsprenggranatpatrone (what a monster word!) Leuchtspur FFM mit Zerleger = combined incendiary and HE round with tracer and self-destruct
2cm Brgr.Patr. L´Spur FFM o.Zerl. - 2cm Brandgranatpatrone Leuchtspur FFM ohne Zerleger = Incendiary round with tracer and without self-destruct
2cm M-Gesch.Patr. FFM m.Zerl. - 2cm Minengeschoßpatrone FFM mit Zerleger = THE FAMOUS Minengeschoß :It's a thin-walled high capacity HE round with little to no fragmentation and no armor penetration at all. Relies entirely on its blast and overpressure effect to damage aircraft structures (shamelessly copied again)
Hope you find that useful.
If you find errors or have corrections post below and i will edit the post accordingly.
EDIT : corrections from JG4_Karaya worked in
