That's an eye opener !!!!
Briliant find!!!!
"MG-81J single barrel in Ju-88A-4.
The Ju-87D and the attack variants of the FW-190 could mount a WB-81Z below the wing to engage enemy infantry , this contain 3 MG-81z tilted down 32 degrees so the aircraft shoot downwards even in level flight, this layout unleash a rate of more than 6000 rpm... ¡¡¡ quite a Minigun." (from the site posted by Alpha)
We definately got to have this!
which by the way brings forth a new issue!
Wouldn't it be great if in SOW we can chose also gunner configuration.... eh? :)
We got to have that telescope on our JUs ... i mean you trim your lady for a jentle bank
..... run to the sniper thingy UND KABOOM!

How tf, should a telescope help with deflection shooting?
If you have a bogey staying easy at your 6, your default gunners can deal with him, be sure of that.

well even in a bomber's pilot position where 360 awarenes is somewhat compromised,
when the xxxx starts hapening (being attacked - and i'm talking about organised games, as in on-line competitions)
most of the times you can track the Ufo descenting on you for quite sometime ...
in that sense if i have some telescope on the gun ...maybe i can get the pilot or the machine or both from such a distance, that the attacking thingy can't start speading bulets on my six & stuff ...
eh? :)

It's a sun glare filter, not a telescope ;)

Hi
The "Snipers for Gunners" is a common phrase for the AI bomber crews.
It was a jokey thread title with a serious link in the post to a very informative website.
:grin:
