bomber guns.....

[Kev367th]

Hold on a sec. Hitec EXPANDED the radar coverage. Would it not give you more warning time that we are on the way to your bases. It's not like it's unannounced.

All buffs to file flightplan, alt, and intended target to the otherside before liftoff.  
Failure or filing an inaccurate flightplan will result in you being sent to the 'naughty step'

Expanded radar gives 2 mins additional warning - assuming its 'up' of course  

[edit] 2 mins approx for buffs, less for everything else.

Right on, Kev!

Hear that? It's all our fault.

Naw, I just don't like bomber hoards in general. Nothing personal against you guys, I've even flown escort a few times when I was bish.


However you guys LEVELED 96. No destroyable object was left standing; I took a jeep out to check  .

F5 & F8 from tower is quicker 

[Nemisis]

Yes, but I wanted the film  .

i understand cos as i was shocked to find that when attacking a formation of B17's from their 4 o'clock position i was shocked when the trailing bomber on the right opened up along with the left bomber. but it doesn't end there i was even more shocked that the lead bomber tail gun was firing through the trailing bomber on the right. now after i got shot down i spoke to the bomber pilot and he said he had moved from the lead aircraft to the right one to get a better shot at me. i would do the same. but even he was shocked when he saw tracer from the lead bomber firing through the right bombers fuselage and tail section. he could not explain that one away either.

can any of you explain it away i don't think so

The only thing I'd like to see (and this is only a graphics request) is to see the other guns fire in shorter bursts to make it look more historical. If there is some way to break up the fire a bit (without reducing the lethality) I think it would just look so much better than what we see currently.

Given Hitech's recent posts it's clear to me that HTC's is trying to make bombers, and the strategic targets, a more important part of the game. So I seriously doubt we will see any changes that reduce their survivability at this point.

Not sure if it's a bug or intended but when the gunner on a buff fires it appears as if ALL the guns are firing. So while yes it may appear that the nose guns might be shooting through the fuselage, trust me, they're not. Only the guns that can be brought to bear on you will be actually shooting bullets at you, the rest are just phantom tracers.

If you want to see this for yourself just have a gunner jump on board and watch him move the guns around and fire. You'll see them all move and fire at once.

Beefcake, he's saying that the tail gun of plane with lead plane in the formation is firing through the bomber on the right (on the left from the tail gun). At least I THINK thats what he's saying. I've noticed this too, and it should be taken care of (possibly by shooting down the drone .... ).

In case you juusst missed it:

But I know you read that already, right?

Jayhawk, your mission yesterday killed all the fighters at 3 bases (the only bases within 4 sectors) at one point or another. Maybe its the guys with you, IDK. But regardless of if YOU  do, all the hangers at A100, A96, and A92 were down (not nessicarily at all 3 at the same time) as a direct result of your actions. Honestly, I don't think there is anything that justifies killing fighter hangers (perhaps if you just CAN'T get the ord from a CV for one reason or another, but thats about the only exception IMO)

Dang Thndr we did that

I was thinking for Christmas HT could give us the YB-40...even more guns

Need to get more of your country men to up and help you defend and don't tell me you can't see us coming, even a blind man can with THE NEW dar system

Yes Nemises all 3 tail guns where firing at me even tho the lead bomber's tail gun could only fire at me through the drone on the right's fuselage. it was weird as people have said it may have just been a glitch but if other's do see it we should report it to Hitech and his team. as we all know that if it happen's we may get killed quicker thus be at a disadvantage from this possible glitch. I mean come on think if it doe's keep on happening think of the Perk Point's you may miss out on HUH.   

I ask that if anyone else see's this or it happen's to you let's get it posted in the bug reporting Section of the forum's

Nd P.S Can HTC upgrade the Tail Turret Gun's On the Lancaster III to 2 50 calls and 2 .303's as later versions where armened with this setup for increased success against German Night Fighter's PLEASE.

Well 91st, looks like you've been doing well, too well.

How the hell is the nose gun shooting through the fuselage of a drone? The limited traverse would prevent that. And I know he doesn't mean that the nose gun of a drone is firing throught the fuselage of the lead bomber since thats impossible with a 4 o'clock attack position.

BulletVI was saying that the tail gun (or possibly the waist gun or ball turret) of the lead bomber is firing through the fuselage of the right side drone. I've noticed this as well, but I never thought anything of it.
