Someone get hold of your Aces High BB info Zig?

Yah.... I ... suppose Zig. But ah, in the greater scheme of things... has anyone actually died due to one of them guns? Not that big an issue really, is it?

that gun can be killed

LOL.. that miserable little pop-gun on the panzer is a useless tease.. had a FW make a half dozen passes at me; I hammererd away at this guy with the pop gun and discovered three things..
1. The damn thing shoots to the left of the reticle.
2. The damn thing is utterly ineffective; the single .50 on the m3 being about 100 times more intimidating. Fighter pilots fly into the panzers popgun's pitiful tinkle with no fear of damage.
3. The Main 75 mm Gun tube on that panzer can certainly ruin any pilots day. Lends a whole new aspect to delivering a taste of 'old facefull' to a cocky FW driver (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I agree, if you get a round in the cupola it should neutralize the gun.

I have been shot down by a TC Cupola. I don't understand how I got shot down because the couple times I have hit attacking fighters it had no effect. Add to this the fact that it is almost impossible to swivle that gun effectifly to attack an aircraft. Once a plane travels beyond the ark, you have to go to the main gun and find them, then switch back to the TC.
I said before. When your a driver, stick turns the tank. When your main gun, rudders turn the tank. Why not when your a TC rudders turn the turret?

Well I scored quite a bunch of kills with the turret gun, my record was 8 kills in one sortie, then I was outta ammo (Ghosth witnessed that) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Its quite easy to shoot the engine, radiator and pilot, just don't try aiming at the wings, it doesn't have any effect at all.
Being able to move the main gun with the rudders in the gunner view would indeed be great though (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I was killed 3 times consecutive with the same tank. second 2 times he got engine and it was that bug around so I could not stop and bailed. Last time he got my wing. All 3 times it was done in first my aproach.
For all other attack against pnzrs I was only wounded once.

I killed 6 in one sortie with the cupola gun. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I've gotten my share of kills with that AA mount - P-47 even (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Keep it.

LOL, I regularly take wings off with the 'ol top gun on the Panzer. In fact, that's what I aim for and it works well! Just gotta remember to correct for it being off to the left.

I use the upper gun alot and regularly kill AC with it.

Please no.
Keep it the way it is. I much prefer to be able to turn the whole tank from that position and keep that nice thick armour pointing at the biggest threat =)

Heh, well. This just goes to show how much my gunnery blows (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
-
I cant seem to hurt any planes with the cupola gun i see strikes after strike but to no effect.
Im not opposed to an increase in lethality in this gun and an increase in its arc of fire .
However i think that it should be more vunerable when not "Buttoned Down" i.e. even .50 cal could take it down if shot at a good downward angle into the turret. There should be a reward and a risk for unbuttoning your tank.

On the other hand, I killed zig 2x with mg on top of m3. Then hid in his hanger till he got me. hehehe
Lots o fun zig.

I think some of u guys mis-understood my post (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I am not saying the gun should be removed. What i am saying is that it should be very vulnerable to fire, i mean even a 7.7mm round would kill a panzer commander pretty easy (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I think the argument has subtly changed: killing the *gunner* should be different from killing the *gun*.
