"gun jammed"
so I can't hold my trigger for longer than half a second on the 109 G2 trop if I don't want all my guns to jam... ok, interesting concept.....

Once you unlock upgraded MGs and cannons, the gun jam time increases. Also, if you put crew experience into the 'Weapon Maintenance' category, you can increase the time you have until a gun jam as well.

You have almost a 1000 hrs in War Thunder and don't know that guns can jam within a certain time?

Seems like you have never played realistic battles before, and are now surprised that guns actually jam when you keep your finger on the trigger for an hour non-stop.

It really isn't that bad if you are not one of these guys that constantly spray. You should not spray anyway, as you only have limited ammo in realistic battles. So get used to accurate, short bursts.

I said half a second. I have trigger discipline trust me, I've played my fair share of Spitfires. But the random bugs and stupidity due to Gaijin's laziness is what bothers me.

Gun jam is not a bug, but technical failure.

I've seen Lv100 players with 90+ days in fighters in AB, and nothing else. Recently as last night.

I am sorry, but no plane in this game gets a jammed gun after half a second, nor one second nor two nor 3.....

Guns only jam because of technical failure,and this happens when you fire for too long, as it overheats.

Quit overexaggarating stuff you whiny arcadeplayer.

1. I'm not overexaggarating, this genuinely happened after I fired 2 rounds, hence my assumption that it is a bug.

2. Based on what did you conclude that I'm a "whiny arcadeplayer"? Besides from the Assault gamemode, I haven't played a single arcade battle since 2015.

It depends plane to plane. My F8F (the one with the cannons) has really short jam time and I thought it was bugged at times because my guns would be jammed before I even fired (a bug from a long time ago) but the point is some planes have very short jam times so you have to be careful.

It's not called Gun Jam time, it's called Gun Overheating.
Upgrading weapons and increasing crew levels increases the time it takes to overheat.
Sometimes its dependant on both calibers and RPM.

The mossy is the most jammy of all planes. Try that one and you'll love your g2 guns.

The only guns that overheat in 1 second is probably the stock F-86F-2 or Hunter F1 guns...

Perhaps you just fired a long burst and the guns where still hot otherwise its definitly a bug

Nope, it was on first engagement. I'm calling it a bug unless someone finds a genuine reason why it would happen.

Wait, you SERIOUSLY have 930 hours yet you don't know ♥♥♥♥ about jamming mechanics ? Dude, just stop idling on this game to boost your hours, because that is ridiculous.
