The advantage one gains by shooting off the tail gun ammo in a 110G is mostly imaginary.A 50% fuel 110G with the big gun package weighs 17198. Shooting off the tail ammo will reduce that mass by 98lbs - that's 0.6 %And to put it into perspective - that's about the same mass your engines are burning in fuel in 2 minutes of flight time.
...and not have to kill your accuracy shooting them all off...
That is if people are concerned about their score/stats. If you don't play for score, then it really is pointless to implement a customizable gun loadout. I fly around all the time in my twin engine birds. I know how well I shoot. I can't give a number, but I know where my accuracy is in terms of using the gunsight, range, setting up shots, etc. If you know those things, then looking up numbers on the score page is irrelevant.But since I don't play for score, this wish is not something I see HTC wasting their time and effort on. I would rather see updated planes and bug fixes instead.
The difference is so slight in performance that I doubt anybody would notice it unless they fly the 110 as a main ride.I too see players do this.I never have.Flying the 110 as much as I used to I never saw the point.
yeah i have seen people do it tones of time. its a lot of bad weight and shooting off the tail gun improves performance. go on a 110 noe raid sometime, you will hear the tail guns going wild
it really has nothing to do with score/stats. its all about convenience and variety. how many spit flyers out there would like to load the bottom tank full of fuel and leave the top empty? the examples i have put out there may not be great, they are just examples, but there are literally hundreds of ways custom fuel and guns would be useful and fun that have nothing to do with stats.
it would be nice to be able to remove the rear gun entierly from th 110 and the Ju88 as well - i am sure with the entire gun package removed from the rear th weight reduction would be more significant.
The rules are simple: Don't be a dick.
It was skuzzy's <----- fault.
We just witnessed a miracle and I want you to @#$%^& acknowledge it!
yah, I just want to try to use the JU-88 like it was used later in the war - as the most effective night-fighter of the war (other then the blackwidow, but that does not count).
