A-20G missing a gun?

would be cool to have as an Option, & would definitly help Boston since the rear .303's interruption gear are well.. the "cant shoot" area I find a little big (You cant just not shoot the tail, but a few "inches" around the tail u cant shoot either), but a20G the interuption gear doesnt take effect untill you're actuelly aimed at the tail...

Any way would be neat feature if we could find texture referances for superfly/natedog...

What about the missing gun on the B17, not to change the topic or anything.

That would be the only one that's not modeled.

By the way, your software sucks worse than my flying.  :D

I found this one in Feb 1996 edition of Wings. The caption: Belly gun installation on an A-20C. Again, note the protective armor. This is an American .30 caliber Browning; the A-20C/Boston IIIs that used British armament had a Vikers K gun in this position. In the G model this weapon was replaced by a .50 caliber browning.

A couple of standard cockpit shots and a good external shot of the twin .30 installation, but mainly external.
