Source?
Everything Ive read said that 'nearly every Kurfurst was used' more or less.

Plus, just because they added other 'rare' fighters, thats no justification to add another.

When did HiTech say that? You have a link to the thread he made that comment in? The guns on the Lancaster aren't .50 caliber machine guns, they are the same .303 machine guns they had when they were introduced. It's even in the plane description on the main website.

Country of origin: Britain
Crew: Seven crew
Type: Bomber
Normal loaded weight: 68,000 lbs.
Dimensions: Wing span 102'
Length 68'10"
Height 20'4"
Internal fuel: 2587 gallons
Armament: 4x303 Browning
500 lb bomb
1000 lb bomb
2000 lb bomb
4000 lb bomb

If you're going to post a rant, make sure you have the facts straight in your post, otherwise you'll just come out looking like a fool...oh wait, too late.

Dear ack-ack.
since you obviously don't pay any attention to this game at all.
and the screenshot that Luche was so kind as too provide is obviously wrong perhaps your right.. ALL the guns on the lancaster must be .30 caliber.
Wow your intellect is truely amazing gosh i hope after my next 20 or so head injuries I can one day reflect the intelligence you possess.

Oh and ack-ack to quote your reply.

Gotta give him credit.. He doesn't have anything but P38s on his clipboard.. Probably doesn't shoot at lancasters enough to have noticed the 50cal hit sounds.

skyctpn · « **Reply #67 on:** February 21, 2008, 10:57:35 PM »

So in reality that makes your reply moot then doesn't it Moot?

Motherland · « **Reply #68 on:** February 21, 2008, 11:15:33 PM »

Im still interested in you backing up your 109K statement.

skyctpn · « **Reply #69 on:** February 21, 2008, 11:19:00 PM »

I provided a link to a source.. since your the master 109K pilot I would sudgest you find one that discredits mine.

The .50 cal turrets were factory standard. Most Lancs were built with quad .303s, true, but all service turret variations were factory built.

never fly bombers, so I stand corrected. My hit sounds have been replaced with Homer's "Ouch!" sounds (no joke) but I also rarely get hit from bombers when I make my attacks on them.

Again, that link says no such thing, and is in any case nothing like primary source documentation.

Whilst 8 .303 in machine guns were the most common Lancaster armament, twin .50 turrets were later available in both the tail and dorsal positions. A Preston-Green mount was available for a .50 cal mounted in a ventral blister, but this was mostly used in RCAF service. Some unofficial mounts for .50 cal or even 20 mm guns were made, firing through ventral holes of various designs.
