Feild defense when ack and vh down

[TheZohan]

well i tell you the b25 front guns work just as good.. i get lots of kills from that.. plus them augering trying to kill 3 bombers

[Noir]

guns used to be enabled on the runway, but got disabled...theres a reason for that.

watch GHI   up his IL2  and HO everyone he can see, 

if  2-3 people did the same thing I doubt even the best vulchers could keep them down for long.

There aren't that many exceptional vulchers in AH,  most hordelings end up crashing, or going Head on down the runway inviting an easy shot for the taxiing il2.

When the soft guns pop or the vh = serious problems with il2's upping with extra cover from the ground.

The bomber idea as everyone else has pointed out = silly.  However getting b26's airbourne doesnt take long and the vulchers get a real hard on for spawning buffs,  quite a few will waste ammo on you.

1) Guns don't shout.

 

good catch!

Obviously you were not around back before bomber gunners were prevented from fireing until they left the ground. Or bombs having to travel a set distance before arming.

People would up bombers with gunners just to make capture impossible.
And they would blow themselves up hopeing to take someone else with them.

Thankfully all that dweebiness went away some time ago.
No, it won't ever come back.

I understand why HTC disabled the guns, but frankly if a guy wants to sit on 1700 gallons of avgas armed only with a pair of 50's, then it's his funeral.   Just kill these prk's 15 or 20 times then drop the bomber hangers.

Thankfully all that dweebiness went away some time ago.
No, it won't ever come back.

That dweebiness goes by the name of LancStuka now.

Short side story, While watching an episode of "Enterprise" or whatever it was called (a historical based series aired on history ch about the US carrier enterprise during ww2) One pilot jumped in the rear gun of his sbd(some type of divebomber devestator mabey?)that was still on the deck and fired at an incoming japanese bomber that was making a low pass on the carrier. Either that or im totally confused and thinking about something else.

SO...you cant say this wish isnt historically accurate.

"Battle 360" (watched it about 6 times nonstop, a friend had the disks at the same time I had to let my satellite lapse).  The left wing of the Jap plane skid across the deck cutting the tail off the sbd.  And the guy was still firing at him.

Yeah, in real life when all flak was gone on a field, defenders rolled all the bombers out of the hangars

Well, you wouldn't want to leave them in there!! Those hangers might be a target! Plus, why not show off your nicely refueled b-17 with it's 500 lb bombs next to it? Seems like a good idea for me... if I get the stuka that is...

Could enable Infantry firing .303's from GGun positions.

i.e at each 37mm ggun there is the option to up a fixed suldier (cannot move from the ggun area) firing a .303. Whilst there is only one 37mm there may be multiple suldiers provided there are barracks still up.

Putting a manned ggun in each town then means that barracks have to be taken out to succeed in capturing a defended base.

what a novel concept! attritting infantry prior to capture!
