Title: B5N misrepresented in AH
Post by: valdals on August 01, 2008, 05:58:42 AM
The B5N in AH has no foreward guns only a rear gunner. i found a link that said it had the same guns as the D3A val. could this be fixed

Some B5N1 models had 2 forward guns, but the AHII model is a B5N2, which has the single rear MG correctly modeled.

What are you going to accomplish with 2 7.7mm MGs with 200 rounds each?

May I ask how? You probably wont even break anything on a F6F with 200 .303 rounds from 2 guns

you'll rarely shoot down a F6F with those pea shooters but perhaps a Zero or Spitty

It's not very probable under normal combat circumstances, but doable and far from impossible. Get close, aim well - and convergence isn't an issue anyway.

I have killed enemies with 109's and 190A5 BB's before without having to pump 500 rounds into them. And was killed myself by D3A's and Stukas, which have the same pitiful 2*8mm armament.

Any gun can & will kill if circumstances are right.

He couldn't do it, but he would bet you that he could do it, only to lose the bet. For Evel, losing a bet was a hundred times better than having no bet at all.

Gimme enough .303's for a 2 second burst and you're in the tower 10 times out of 10.    It is about shot placement, cockpit shots excluded.

One of my most memorable kills ever was back in Brand W.

I was in a D3a1 Val, with a A6m closeby, when a P-47 came diving in after the A6m.

I would manuver to get behind the P-47, get a few pings, he'd dive away, zoom back up and setup again on the A6m. I'd work like crazy to get behind him again and send some more pings his way.

Seemed like it took hours, probably lasted 2 or 3 minutes. We danced that dance from 20k down to the deck.
In the end the A6m was limping home full of holes and trailing smoke, and I got the kill on the P47.
