Well figure.. PT boat gunners have an excellent view, virtually 360degrees... Enemy plane flies within range, every guy with something that shoots is going to open up..
Now it does... There ya go!!!

Still need something more substantial for naval warfare tho...

Like a Destroyer!!!

Only if you use it right and have LOTS of practice with the proper gunsight.  That said, you can pop the little buggers from 2 - 3k out easily.  Just dont get greedy and try to fly in closer than that.  The 25H is a flying schoolbus... nice, fat, slow moving target for anyone with AAA gunnery skills.

THe 37mm on the bow is a cannon meant for ground fire, yes?  All else is multi-purpose, iirc. 

It would be nice to get that 37mm off of the grouped.

Also, to those who knee jerk the "too much firepower" response, please keep in mind that there are 3 different trajectories and velocities between the 50 cals, 20mm, and 40mm AA.  Add in the 37mm and it is very much like a duck boat filled with 4 drunken hunters with a revolver, 5 shot .410 pump shotgun, a single shot 10 guage shotgun, and a M16 rifle.  Sure, it might work.... might.   ;)  Lots of lead, but beware who is firing with what gun.

You can just jump in the gun of choice & press F on your key board. :aok

You misunderstand. I would like the option to fire all the guns except the 37mm.

I'd like to take out the 40mm myself. Save that one for anti-shipping work. :noid

Part of the PT upgrade was infinite rounds for all its guns and a laser tracking system  :D

Seriously though... they are killers if you aren't paying attention.  Either keep clear, or take them out.  Don't get dragged over one.


Yes they are. And those 30 and 40mm's can ruin you day :noid.

From the grouping, not the boat.

dum question, but last time i was in a PT it seems that all the guns were uncoupled, ie..firing the 50cal resulted in only the 50 cal firing. not sure what I did to cause this.

thoughts?

Could you have been hitting the secondary fire button?
