WW turret

[Ack-Ack]

you guys make me laugh.  who cares what the manuals say, when everything gets coded it will never be 100% accurate to RL or even close to that,  remember the 4 to 5k kills you can get in an m4.  It never happened in real life.  diving in lancs, cant be done either ( not a good idea to release bombs with a neg g), single plane diving through ack to kill a cv, now that's funny.  so before u guys get into a fite over some book or statistics  just relax and enjoy the fricking game.   and stop worrying about nothing.

Before you start spouting things you believe to be facts, here is a picture of a lone surviving D3A Val dive bomber (out of 4 sent to attack the Yorktown on the 2nd day of the Battle of the Coral Sea) that was shot down by Yorktown's AA guns after it dropped its bombs and missed the CV (the other three were shot down by 8 patrolling SBDs from the Yorktown as they prepared their dive run).  



Here is another picture of a lone kamikazi attack on the escort carrier USS White Plains during the Battle for Leyte Gulf in Oct. 25, 1944.  The skipper of the White Plains ordered a hard turn to starboard which caused the kamikazi to miss and explode just off the port side of the carrier, causing only minor damage and minor injuries to 11 sailors.



It seems that you would be more at home with one of those arcade flight sims like Blazing Angels.

I rarely, if ever, GV at all, but the argument that the WW turret is too slow is every bit as relevant as the argument that it was too fast. If there is documented proof about the production model could rotate faster than what is currently modeled, it deserves the same consideration and scrutiny as the evidence that got the turret slowed to its current speed. To come in here and poo-poo on the wish as whining is disingenuous considering it was the same type of whining that got the speed reduced.

What we should all wish for is accuracy, and if new evidence is presented that helps us achieve accuracy, we should embrace it. That doesn't mean it shouldn't be scrutinized and discussed, but if all you're contributing is calling someone a whiner, you're not contributing much to the thread or to HTC's quest for accuracy and realism.
