The O N L Y  ! reason bomber hangars are left up is to facilitate a vulch, so allowing guns enabled for bombers on the ground would at least make someone commit fully to base capture by dropping ALL the hangars. NO more silly vulch on those folks willing to try a last ditch effort defence!

Maybe attach the bomber hangars to the ords, no ord-> no bombers! I still prefer B17 gun platforms on the runway to force the tards to be decisive about their intentions  :devil

Bombers were not mobile AAA platforms. What you ask for would only be used for that. Similar to what guncrasher described.

You're almost right.  They were mobile AA platforms, just not while on the ground.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

kill the lead buff just as it is taking off the other 2 will crash.  but there's a reason why buffs cant shoot from gunners positions while in the ground  and that goes back to the all mighty aw ways, when we would park a buff at end of runway and blast away at anybody that spawned.  the other reason is that we would park a buff next to town and use mgs to blast away at buildings, just like we would land them on the base and kill all the hangars.
