All it would be is a great way to get your aircrew killed.  There is a reason aircrew take shelter when the field is under attack rather than run to their aircraft's turrets.

Really?  Do any of you guys ever step back and assess the ramifications of your statements when taken into account with everything else in the game?

You are artificially preventing something that was possible, because it's not realistic... applied across the board, you'd have a 4.5GB patch coming to address all of the non-historical, unrealistic uses of vehicles in the game.

Just call it what it is, an artificial limitation for the sake of gameplay and stop trying to put lipstick on a pig.

I agree 100% that it was bad for the game, saying "no" because "people wouldn't do that in real life" is not only untrue, since it actually happened (unlike, say, Lancasters dive bombing carriers), it invites descent down the slippery slope of dictating what players can and can't do based upon "realism" or "historicity".

The guns can't fire from the ground because of llamas do llama things with it.  End of file.

tunnelrat,

I was refuting his argument that it would be realistic.  I was not endorsing other activities in AH as realistic.  Don't read more into what I say than is actually there.

Mayby only allow the one gun to fire on the ground instead of the combined guns
