Forward guns on the B5N2
« on: September 29, 2015, 11:24:42 PM »
A few models in real life had forward firing guns. Would like to see the B5N2 in AH have them.
Salt,
The three most dangerous vehicles in AH are the C47, M3 and LVT

The model we have in game didn't have forward firing guns.

Depending on where you research the B5N2, it had only the rear gun or twin rear guns. Wiki is not your friend if you really want to ask for something in here.

I just use the D3A, bomb the enemy, and then shoot down brewsters.

Imagine what the B5N could do with guns... it's too scary to even think about.  :uhoh

Interesting. Were these night-fighters? Anti-sub patrol craft? I cannot find any references, but would like to read about them.

Thanks!  :salute

It was the earlier B5N1 that carried a couple of rifle caliber machine guns in the wings, and not the B5N2 as the OP thought.
