I found out why the He100 guns are so powerful:

(gunInit (gunName 'gun1 gunMV 2600 gunWeight .10 gunROF 1200 gunWarhead 0 gunAmmo 450 gunChain 0 gunSound "sndMG2"))
(gunInit (gunName 'gun2 gunMV 2600 gunWeight .10 gunROF 1200 gunWarhead 0 gunAmmo 450 gunChain 0 gunSound "sndMG2"))
(gunInit (gunName 'cannon1 gunMV 2800 gunWeight .35 gunROF 650 gunWarhead 2 gunAmmo 250 gunChain 1))

Since Falck set the fw190 guns properly, these should be changed to this:

(gunInit (gunName 'gun1 gunMV 2460 gunWeight .03 gunROF 930 gunWarhead 0 gunAmmo 450 gunChain 0 gunSound "sndMG2" gunRange 1200))
(gunInit (gunName 'gun2 gunMV 2460 gunWeight .03 gunROF 930 gunWarhead 0 gunAmmo 450 gunChain 0 gunSound "sndMG2" gunRange 1200))
(gunInit (gunName 'cannon1 gunMV 2590 gunWeight .3467 gunROF 750 gunWarhead .06 gunAmmo 250 gunChain 1 gunRange 1200))

if?

The only thing i was never sure of was warheads. But a two pound warhead is a monster

ouch... I put the 2lb warhead for the 50mm, should it be made more powerful since the value is the same for the He100d?

2lb is ok for a 50mm. I've seen what that does to B17's, and you can't do that with a 20mm cannon!

to put it into perspective, 2lb was the weight of projectile for standard British tank guns when war broke out!

According to: http://www.csd.uwo.ca/~pettypi/elevon/gustin_military/fgun.html

20mm cannon have a weight of about 100-140g

by contrast, a shell from a 50mm BK5 weighed 1540g. This is approximately 3.4 lbs. So, if a 2 lb warhead is about right for a 50mm, 3.4 lb shell, then I would guess a 20 mm cannon of weight 120g should have a warhead of about: .12kg * 2.2 lb/kg * 2/3.4 = .16 lb

I really don't know if this is anywhere near accurate, but one thing's for sure: a projectile should NOT have a warhead that is 7 times greater than the entire projectile's weight... that doesn't even make sense, unless the rest of the shell had negative weight :-)
