Manned Guns vs. Kills
« on: July 16, 2013, 08:44:22 AM »
If kills are given for killing GVs in a plane, why are kills not awarded for killing a manned gun with it manned?

Should one be awarded a kill for killing someone in a manned gun?

makes sense but, has it ever been anything other than the way it is?

Manned gun kills don't count for score would be my guess and are pretty easy to kill.

I would like to know who is in it, if I kill the gun before it kills me.

Some are better than others in guns and deserve a <S> from time to time.

I could care less if guns are counted for score, however.

In my opinion the manned gun seems to be too small unit to be counted as a kill. I have seen planes and ships painted on the sides of the fuselages as victory markings on some WW2 pics. Were they regarded as kills in reality.

Probably because it's too easy (especially when I'm the one manning it).
