So, the pilot had to maneuver and aim through the mirror, but the gunner pulled the trigger? :headscratch:
Yes, well, they did lose the war.

Also.. "The He111" did not have a fixed tailgun. "that" He111 had a fixed tailgun. It wasn't effective and the tracers were just to scare off attackers that came in from directly behind with tracer fire and flashes. Nothing more. It was a 1-off field mod and not standard.
Aces High doesn't do 1-off field mods.

While not a 1-off, I do agree that it was probably a rare modification. License built He111s had them also.

Don't let NKL5 fly one or there will be a lot of whining.

I think there was experimental work on He-111, Do-17 or Ju-88 that shoots out a long stream of fire from the tail end. It was for two reasons of it; duce attackers think that bomber going down and to keep attackers off their six.
