Turret Gunner Controls

Can it be those complaining about the turrets are not very skilled in attacking bombers and need to hobbel their targets so that they have a chance of any success? Also turret is not turret there are very differant kinds, and dumping all in one pot, does give the feeling that those complaining seem to be inexperianced fighter jocks.
How about doing some training then complaining that your target is not asleep?

What's your problem? This was not about skill but about realism, I was only giving another idea on the subject. So your attack on our skill was uncalled for, and the only complaining here came from the guy that would be against joystick control.

Now, when I said huge turrets I was actually thinking of a B-17 dorsal turret and imagining it spinning around at mouse speed made me laugh. From external view it would look quite comical. Although now I think about it, I really don't know how fast that thing would look spinning at full speed.

Of course all the planes would have to have different speeds of turret/gunner positions. It would be stupid to have, say a stuka gunner taking more than a split second to aim and fire.

What is your problem? So allied planes go for all planes during WWII? And realism, yeah, try again.....why don´t you openly say Bombers only AI and only at rooky level. Talking about narrow minded!
Reading posts like yours gives me always the feeling keep everything one knows for yourself, no point in sharing anything with these kind of people.

I know your problem now. You are the same kind of person as a certain ex-member of the 1c forums, I won't mention their name but I am sure the mods know who I am talking about. Oh and by the way please do keep all that you know to yourself in future, it would be very helpfull.

That's quite an ingore list you got going there Wutz!

A system that works pretty well in my experience is something like in World of Tanks: You can look around as quickly as your mouse allows (your head turning around in the turret) and then the turret follows your eyes with the speed that particular turret can.

Oh there are eight candidates that are in that club.
But back to the topic, when thinking of the twin 20mm flak guns used during my military service those could swing around really fast, that is why I would like to see hard evidence that turrets where slow or laggy, and not just some fighter jocks wet dream to easy successes.

I knew that Wutz's attitude reminded me of someone, but I couldn't quite remember who....
