As we all know the luft waffle is currently being slandered and purpousefully kept in a nerfed state which is stopping the German faction from winning, please fix. I know many people have already suggested this, but that is just proof that we need this.

As you can see, the Luftwaffe Drilling (Aka Air force tri-barrel) is neither usable by pilots, not triple barreled. Please fix this. Give pilots the ability to use them, and I know that the devs can easily code the third barrel becasue we already have grenade launchers in the game, which use an animation to switch between different types of ammunition that can be shot from the same gun. Therefore, all of these arguments are just excuses from giving us realistic German weapons in their realistic superior state.

From what I understand, its a coding limitation, or so goes the word. However I myself think you could do it like the grenade launchers, and you just swap fire mode for that third barrel. Which you yourself said actually.

As for adding it to pilots, fuck yeah, I still dont get why they havent got it, I mean its way worse than any of the SMGs they get already, so it isnt going to be a new OP thing at all.

Exactly what I was thinking. The only thing is that perhaps instead of the GL button if they could make it the “firing mode” changing button that would make more sense.

Wouldn’t it reload separately to the shotgun barrels if that was the case?

it would probably be clunky making the drilling use the rifle grenade mechanics but its better than nothing

yes and wouldn’t be too hard code, just recycle the code about swap shoot modes (auto,auto slow,semi) for bullet and voilá, it would need also 2 versions so when is in shotgun have x stats and using rifle bullet othe stats

Is there a problem with that though?
Its not exactly perfect, but its still workable.

The way I see this could be essentially just like with a grenade launcher but just with more ammo.
Its only one round too so it should literally just be the same thing (I hope).
Switch to the third barrel, fire, it reloads, you keep firing with it until you switch. If you switch back to the shells, it reloads and fires only them.
If you wanted to fire all 3 in quick succession, then just load all of them and then fire 2, switch, and fire that one.
Can’t load all 3 at once ofc but with this game I think that will be the best we’re getting

As someone masochistic enough to play BR 5 against the unrelenting spam of king tiger tanks gray zone camping. WTF

I mean, surely you could program a special exception to the weapon, something to the the effect of

If reload pressed
Play animation drilling_reload
Set main ammo count to 2
Set alternative ammo count to 1

I cant imagine it would be that hard, you could include partial reload animations there too as well if only one or the other is being reloaded?

Even though I absolutely wish for such interesting weapon mechanic to be added - this particular statement is ridiculous.

i would like to see the same on Gl since those things were not only able to shoot HE and antitank shells they were also able to shoot Smoke and a japanese model was able to use Indendiary shells…
