Default SoW Gun Cams?
Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but I am wondering if/hoping that SoW will have a selectable gun cam feature.

It would work just as in real life - every time the guns are fired, the camera rolls. At the end of each mission, you can play back and more importantly in this age of social media, share and upload to youtube etc. - your grainy, low fps gun cam footage. If videos were stamped with the SoW logo, this has to be great marketing for the game too.



If not in the initial release of SoW, let's hope it is something which might be added later. Oleg, please don't add it now if it delays launch .

Oleg mentioned this possibility over a year ago. Oleg will keep guncams historical but may not be present in first release. Remember that not all planes had guncams.

This is Pure Genius (borderline supper genius), not to mention how much fun this would be.

Good news … but Guncams on all aircraft in the “game” would be fun.

How long did gun cams record after the trigger was pressed?

Nice to have, but almost all high deflection shots will just show empty air.
B'nZ -> the target will be in the picture a while after you've released the trigger.

I nice idea I'd love to say it's unique, but this has been used before in BoB2. However, I found the technique there glitchy, so I think this'd be so cool
