Can you summarize it or something, it seems to require membership to view that link.

Sorry, i'll try to find a spot to repost it. It's a film of an AR234 with forward firing cannons I got Monday night. Thought they only fired rearward.

send it to ht let them handle it.

I sent HTC an email but no response, they probably busy and it'll be a moot point anyway when AH2 rolls out.

Right click and "save target as" seems to work

Try the film here:

I have that happen to me, it's a bug. Arados guns fire back on the pilot's FE but forward on the nme FE, if you got behind him, you'de get hit. Been called cheater because of it.

Actually, there were Arado 234s with forward-firing guns. The Arado 234 could take a ventral cannon. It was most used in the nightfighter version. I don't have the book to hand but I think it was the C4 version with 4 jet engines.

I think the arado with forward cannon would be better than the me262

its a great aircraft for flying crazy!

i use it like a fighter now, if i had guns that fired forward I think id use it as a fighter all the time!

This is a little known varient of which there are no flying versions left today.

It's a graphics bug in AH. The guns actually are firing backwards, only the tracers appear to be going forward. It would be nice if HTC fixed it though.

Fun challenge:
Shoot down a 262 using an a234. (it's easier than it sounds)

Shot down 3 Me163s yesterday for the loss of one of my drone Ar234s in a single sortie. Those rear firing cannons are nasty.
