Soviet turret A20-C field mod?? - mandrill7 - 13.12.2008

The Soviets habitually modded the A20C with their own 12.7 hmg turret. This would be nice for me to have as a mission builder as it would give the Boston a lot more "survivability" when fighting off 109's.

I throw this out for anyone else into Soviet bomber types who might be interested in doing the mod.

I've attached a couple of profiles...

Note as well that the forward "cheek" gun pods have also been removed. This reduces the forward facing lmg's from 4 down to 2. (Two were fitted internally).

Im not a modder, by in my opinion Su-2 turret

Quote:it's perfectly legitimate request ... for new slot plane

I agree

In my opinion this model is more acurate for the Easter Front, than the original model.

Il-10 turret with some modding of the turret framework. The whole point is to utilize that nasty UBT hmg.

the exterior is even easier. From the outside, it's just a plain old Il-4 turret with no additions or subtractions.

This would be an excellent mod, I think !!!

+ 100

Also their should be some new slot planes of the A20 G with four 20mm cannons.

And maybe gunpod weapons, i think I have read something like that

would someone mind doing a relatively detailed overlay of the standard C and the Soviet field mod?

Not In game, but profiles, preferably from the same source.
