Title: PT AA guns
Post by: Zoom on July 11, 2006, 10:32:58 AM

I think it would be a good idea if when manning the 40mm cannon the secondary fire button fired the 50cal mgs and 20mm cannon at the target too. In real life if the 40mm Bofors was firing at a close aircraft then surely the lighter AA guns would also be shooting at it too. This would make the PTs a little more survivable against fighters since all guns could be employed in defence rather than having to choose between 20mm/50cal or 40mm when defending against a strafing run.

i love using the 40mm on my PT. must people come in on me and at 1.5 out they are probably like WTF .. 40mm in the grill !.. but yeah if the other guns would fire with the 40mm it would cause a person to think twice about strafing.

I've dove on Port ack and 10+ Ostie's "defending" it.  Neutered the manned ack, and kilt a couple LTAR's in the process.   I guess it's "how you de-ack" that matters.  I'll strafe a PT Boat everytime.  Why?  9 times out of 10, I'm the one landing.
