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!

ausge - freaking - zeichnet !!!

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:
