Title: C-47 Unarmed Beam Position?
Post by: Devonai on April 28, 2008, 03:06:18 PM

Sorry if this has been brought up before, but a quick search revealed nothing.

I would like to see an unarmed starboard beam position on the C-47.  As a realism fan, I dislike using F3, and the current C-47 leaves no other option for effectively checking one's six.

The beam position could be coded just like those on other bombers, but without a weapon.  This would simulate the loadmaster or a paratrooper leaning out of the door and communicating to the crew.

The position could be occupied by a gunner/observer, if one chooses, although I realize this would rarely happen.

You mean like in the Door were the troops/supplies fall from? if thats what you mean i agree. but i woul still prefer F3 since im always NOE in a goon, like many smart people.

I've always said the goon needs it door gunner with his 1911 and 5 clips of ammo, just like back in AW

Thought the door gunner had a .50 cal?

The door gunner more often had an M1 Garand ;)
