Field gun perks

[Rob52240]

Why not put a small perk cost on the 88 and add a perk category to field guns?

Why does it need to be perked?

Sounds like someone got blasted out of the sky by the 88s again.

It's easier to kill a field gun than a perked ride. Poor Lil OL gunny wunnys.

Not yet but when I played before it happened a lot.

I've been getting shot at by them a lot lately and it's annoying.  I don't expect everyone to agree with me, these are just my personal opinions on them.

When was the last time that somebody flying bombers above 10K has been shot at by these stupid guns?

Some people are viciously accurate with the 88's and others are just making smoke. 

 I've come across both in my B-17's, makes for an interesting flight over the target area when someone who is good with the 88's keeps popping off rounds right by your formation. Otherwise, the 88's are a non-factor.

When you are able to track the 88 tracer and use that for adjustment feedback. It's easy to kill bombers at 10,000ft. And if fighters want to furball inside of 3k of the field, it's their fault if they get popped. I regularly kill bombers with the 37mm starting at 4k yards by using the tracers and knowing the lead allowance.

70% of fighter losses in action over the ETO was to light and medium AAA fire when they attacked airfields or ground positions. No different than the price of getting close to fields in the game now.

Why didn't you include CV ack in your wish?

Speaking of cv ack, 5"chers are THE gayest manned guns out there.

If the 88's get perked then they should be given the higher rotation speeds with the higher gearing. Right now it is programmed with the lower rotation speed. Also the correct type of sighting as of right now that is not on them either.

What we need is heavier field ak's to cut back on field vulching.  It should take a 500 pounder to kill a 88.  If field ak can be gun-downed then they should reup in 10 minutes.

Smoker82:  that's why

Gay or not there would be better defense of CVs and bases if field and ship guns earned perks and maybe added to rank.

IMO since you can't die in a gun, they deserve neither.

no risk, no reward.
