The coaxial gun still works for me.

The commander's MG has a limited arc of fire though. Seems to be only a 90 degree arc and cannot go straight up.

You also can't see very much firing it, due to the over modeled muzzle flashes.

I've sat in Sherman (M4A2E8) turret and fired 50 cal from that position at drones for real. There's no way in real life that it's so blinding that it obstructs your entire field of view of the incoming target.

Nice idea, but an eye candy graphics overkill.

FYI, the gunsite in the MG on top turret is off center, bullets do not pass thru the crosshairs but rather to the left of it. I've posted a bug post in the bug forum.

You have to be a really brave guy to be up in an open cupola firing that gun when a plane is bearing down on ya
