When your chin turret gets damaged, you also lose your cheek-guns.
It'd be realistic if you can still aim and fire the cheek-guns (trough the chin-turret sight ofcourse)

If the cheek guns are lost, then the effect is more like losing the gunner and not just the guns. If that is the case, then the bombardier function should be disabled as well.

You say that like people'd miss it.

the problem is, we have only 10 guns instead of 13. we need the roof gun and the cheek guns manable

i dont think the roof gun as it would be redundant. that and i am tired of people ******ing about "Buff Lazers". the cheek guns DO fire ingame, so we have 12 guns and not 10. also, if they were mannable, it wouldnt change anything. nobody would fire from them like nobody fires from the waist turrets.

SO SAYS THE TYRANT OF THE FORUMS!!!

On the rare occasion i'm in bombers the waist guns are good for getting those low flying cons if your ball turret is out, or you have no ball turret. That and they can usually reach pretty far back.

Now i've gone and said too much...

The problem is that hardly anyone knows how to attack a bomber, at least in h2h they don't...

How tired Im getting of those dead-6-blazing-away-attacks
9 out of 10 times, the attacker will get shot, with some damage at the bomber....

how uneffective can you be?
