Title: Arado aft periscope and rearward firing guns
Post by: Yeager on January 25, 2001, 12:37:00 AM

This should be very interesting.

How will HTC model the aft view through the pilots periscope and will the rearword firing guns be modeled?

Very curious and pleased.

Maybe it will be accesed like normal bombsight (F6) only you will use the rear view key (numpad 2) to get to the rear view periscope.

It is not sure that Ar 234 will have any guns, I think most operational planes were not equipped with guns at all.

 I am sure people will find a way to make strafing runs using rear-firing guns.

OOHHH BEHAIVE!!

You gents realize that an intercept of this beast is virtually impossible unless you already have alt.

But then again it's hard to drop bombs in a very tight pattern at 460MPH.

What's that thing underneath it?

Looks like a V-1 or something?

Not a V-1 in that pic, but it is in this one   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) This was their idea of extending range...kind of like a U-Haul trailer full of gas lol.
