Init: I16#1, I16#2, 110#1, 110#2 Clouds 4.5 to 5.0 |
Rechargeable Guns: All defensive guns are rechargeable.
Rechargeable fixed guns are indicated by an underlined Type
Weapon listing in an ADC's firepower chart. A pilot or gunner is
limited to recharging one fixed or defensive weapon group per
turn. A roll of ≤ 7 on a D10 at the end of any turn in which the
A/C used ≤ HT turn rates, avoided NG, snap-rolls and vertical or
inverted flight successfully recharges a group. Only one attempt
to recharge a weapon group is allowed. If the attempt fails, the
group is jammed until the A/C lands to be rearmed.

Power Loss Max Attainable Speed Reductions: If all
engines are out of operation, or at idle, use the idle power max
attainable speed limit and effects. If at least one engine is at
above idle power, each step of power loss in a single engine A/C
and each two steps of loss (spread over any engines) on twinengine
A/C, reduces max attainable speed by 0.5. For A/C with
more than two engines, each "2 to N" steps of power loss (N =
no. of engines) reduces max attainable speed by 0.5. A disabled
or shut off engine = five steps lost.

Multi-Engine A/C Unbalanced Power Effects: Unless accel
taken from each wing's engines is equalized by adjusting throttles,
A/C with more wing-mounted engines running on one wing than
the other must use more rudder to compensate for unbalanced
thrust. For the rudder to be effective, minimum speeds increase
as given below. Failure to maintain minimum speed in this situation
invokes a Turn Stall instead of a normal stall (Rule 4.6):
• If a wing has one more running engine than the other,
increase all min. speeds by 0.5.
• If a wing has two or more running engines than the other
wing, or the rudder is knocked out by critical hits increase
all min. speeds by 1.0 (cumulative if both apply).
