Title: Bomber gunners
Post by: dixonaw on October 19, 2011, 05:46:31 PM

I wish that you could kill or at least damage the gun positions in bombers. They seem to have no problem hitting me from 1K out, but no matter what I do They just keep firing.

You can.

Better tip, stop coming from a dead 6 o'clock.
Stop aiming at the guns, instead, aim for the wingtips/cockpit.

Yes, they are already very susceptible to damage. The damaged guns won't be obvious because the bomber may only be firing one gun, but on your end it appears that all guns are firing at you.

I like hunting and attacking buffs as much as I do flying them. Stay fast (+400mph), make slashing on the buffs making diagonal attacks from at leat 3k feet above them. Once you make a run, convert your excess speed back into altitude and reset your attack fromthe opposite side. This takes practice and patience, but it's the best way to survive. Some buff pilots are very good gunners or just get lucky in some instances, but don't get discouraged.
