Armaments

Offensive armament

The SM.91 is armed with:

• 6 x 20 mm MG 151/20 cannons (300 rpg = 1,800 total)

The SM.91 has 6 of the powerful MG 151/20's mounted in the centre of the aircraft nose and can utilize the Minengeschoss round. Use stealth or air target belts for best effectiveness.

Suspended armament

The SM.91 can be outfitted with the following ordinance:

• Without load
• 6 x GP 50 (300 kg total)
• 6 x GP 100 ( 600 kg total)

The SM.91 can carry up to 6 x 100 kg bombs, which makes it useable in ground forces battles. Due to the rather small size of the bombs, you have to be extra accurate when dropping bombs.

Defensive armament

The SM.91 is defended by:

1 x 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon (350 RPG = 350 total)

The SM.91 can defend itself very well from any tailing aircraft. Use universal belts for the most effective defensive fire.
