A bombers guns are in-line at each position... no correction necessary. If your thinking all gun positions to one point... that was not available on the buffs.

but it is here. i think that all guns firing on you as you attack, will converge at D600

Direct from Hitech:

If you are only manning 1 plane then all guns simply shoot in the same directions. I.E. you have multiple parallel gun streams spaced by the distance on the plane which will vary as you shoot different directions..

With multiple planes each plane shoots with parallel streams. The direction all guns from one plane will shoot is a line from the first gun on the drone plane , to a point 500 yards behind your plane on the line your gun sight is pointed.

I.E. no auto at all. The other guns know nothing about what plane they are shooting at. It also works very well in that it puts a mass of lead in the air with most missing but covering a big area so some will hit.

Bomber's defensive guns should be enabled the moment you spawn and after you land to keep vulchers at bay to some extent. I don't see why fighters can fifr from the ground and bombers cant :headscratch:

  IMHO this'll result in forty sets of GV guys taking 120 bombers onto a field and using it as a massive "dOmE oF dEtH" when a Vehicle Hanger
has been destroyed. Then again, massive numbers of vulches will be recorded if this is the case...so maybe it's not a bad idea
after all....NOT.
  I'm afraid this one gets "Oddball's Gameplay Tinkering Assessment Vote" a solid "0" stars.
