If the Wirbl is keep its slow turn rate, please raise the ENY from 10 to at least 15 or better yet 20, otherwise give us back the faster turn rate. :pray

The Wirbel rotation speed is correct with the information known & that is in hand. There is contradicting information out there as well yet no Wirbels have been found with the motors that gave it the faster rotation speed. Supposedly there is a Wirbel handbook that lists the faster speed but no one has presented it as of yet. As far as ENY  is concerned? I will let others debate that. I use the Ostwind for the most as it was the replacement for the Wirbel as it was found to be not that effective during the war. On that issue I agree with the Germans & find it to be true in AHII. :aok

Not sure how accurate this is,but:

"The Wirbelwind design met most of these requirements. Vehicle height was kept low by recessing the gun mount into the top of the hull. The recess allowed for a smaller turret design and kept the overall vehicle height well under the 3 meter limit. Addition of a hydraulic traverse to the turret allowed a traversing speed of 60o/sec. A total of 3200 rounds for the four 2cm guns was carried (with storage for spare barrels provided on the sides of the engine compartment)."

Anybody know what our current traverse speed is?

            Big -1, ether perk the wirble or at least give it tale abstain eny of 5. The wirble is WAY too good and I've seen them on multiple ocastions vulching a runway as well and we've all seen a wirb nest. Many agree that it should be perked, since in the right hands, the OST is better

                                                                 :salute Coalcat1 

       P.S This would only persuade people to use the wirb more for perk farming.

to make up for reduced turret speed in osti and wirb i just keep it in drive and turn the gv and the turret <S> it makes up for it in spades

It should be 28 degrees per second if set to the hand crank method at the the high gear setting.

it's not so much the wirble as it is the player firing it..there are a lot of players that are good shots in them.(not me)..if planes didn't dive on fields or runways they wouldn't get shot down...after all  thats what wirbs and ostwinds are for..they  are anti-aircraft guns..so no you don't need to perk osti's and wirbs--just stay out of there way.. :joystick:

           Anyone seen regular ack guns, other than the fleet ack, used for vulching? Seen plenty of wirbles vulching. I absolutely hate it when someone does that, worse than being vulched by a particular LA pilot...

        Every time I've seen this, they had some cover in case of someone doing just that.

silly ack guns are stationary.and fleet guns are stationary--they are on a moving platform.

I tend to much better with the M16.  

Last night caught a undefended vehicle base raid red handed you might say.  They were trying for a capture leaving the vehicle hangers up and taking down the field ack.  Killed several planes, and two rounds of troops and another C47.  Man that was fun.  It was pure luck to jump out of the hanger in the M16 at just the right moment.  One more minute and it would have been their base. I would guess they were PO'ed.
