The LW bombers were armed with rifle caliber low cyclic rate MG's with small magazines.. in the words of several JU88 pilots they gave them the guns more for morale than for effect.. The B17's and the USAF worked on boxed formations with overlapping fields of fire.. the LW bombers main defense was designed to be SPEED. 111's of 88's under attack were not going to fly level..they didnt have the defensive firepower to prevent a guy from camping on their tail and ripping them apart..
