Title: Cruisers forward 5" gun position
Post by: 1DOGFITE on June 04, 2010, 08:12:32 AM

I would like to see the Cruisers' forward 5" gun repositioned where it does not sit directly behind the 8" gun.  If there is any way it could be raised to view/shoot above the 8" gun, that would be my wish.  It is useless when an enemy aircraft, low on the deck, is coming "nose-on" to the Task Group.  I am sure that the 5" guns could fire over the 8" guns on a real Cruiser. :devil

You can often avoid embarrassment by a few minutes of research ;)
