Really... umm drones already do that now do they not?
Not really.
The guns and drones all fire in the same direction and converge at a set distance -- 600 yds? Don't recall, let's pretend 600 for purposes of this discussion.
So, a target at 600 vaporizes and is gone. No question.
Let's say the target gets in close, say 100 yards. In today's buffs, where you are sitting
at a gun position, if nothing else the gun you are firing should hit the target at that distance. However, MG fire from all the other guns will go over, under, and around the target and converge at 600 yards.
The remote firing position in the B-29 has no gun. There was a simple fire control computer with which the gunner set convergence of the remote turrets. If he wanted to set it for 1000 yards, or 200 yards, or slide it as the target came in, that is what he did. No such mechanism in currently in AH.
So in current AH terms, the gunner looking out the side blister fires his 4 remote turrets at a target flying straight and level 100 yards off his wing, with the pipper directly on the target -- will completely miss as
all his fire goes over, under, and around his target. It is even worse than with the 17s or 24s because the 29 is so friggin huge and the turrets are quite far apart compared to these other bombers.
Similarly, if he is firing at a target flying 1000 yards above him, his fire converges at 600, and diverges sufficiently by 1000 that again he will miss. From a B-24, at least your personal top turret twin 50s will shoot where you aim them.
Now, the B-29 had a "standard" tail gunner, and this would work just fine. Trying to hit anything from anywhere but the tail gunner position, however, I see as very problematic given current game mechanics.
