land to repair

If arcade, reload.


crew skill weapon maintenance helps torwards less gunjams from overheating...

and Canonn upgrade modules, some planes can barely fire four rounds before risk of jamming without the modules researched

Arcade: Hold R
Realistic/Sim: Land on the airfield and rearm

in realistic for me it will unjam after a minute or so without landing but you can prevent jammiing by not doing a full burst of fire if you do smaller bursts it wont jam

Seriously?? I'm wana test that out, but I don't think that Gaijin would allow that. They're trying to mimic how planes were in real life, and guns don't unjam. Could it be that you jammed half your guns, and had some others that worked? I've had that happen in a few games.

I'm genuinely asking tho, through my 2000 hours, I haven't had that ever happen as an active Air RB player.

Same, I've played air RB for at least a thousand hours and I've never had a gun unjam by waiting, likely remembering wrong.

To be fair a lot of early planes had Charging handles allowing the pilots to eject the round that caused the stoppage and rack a fresh one essentially clearing the stoppage. Its a pet peev of mine that it was something they did away with in later planes.

But within the confines of the game there is a keybinding to reload your guns which will clear a jam at the Arcade difficulty but a jam in RB requires you to land and repair.

AA's that use guns/cannons and planes can jam if you fire constantly too long, you can prevent jamming by burst firing which you can see on your crosshair circle. When you hold down the fire button, a small red circle starts to form going around your crosshair clockwise and when it goes fully around the crosshair, your weapon jams and thus have to wait to reload. What I usually down is always fire 1/2 or 3/4's of the way before jamming or if the enemy plane is super close I just spray and pray that a clip of ammo or a decent amount of ammo hits them before reloading

the only guns i know that "unjam' in ARB would be gunners on a bomber

People have already covered it, but essentially whatever your reload button is if you're in arcade. Landing at an airfield for every other mode.
