B29 ball turret - Bear - 13.01.2008

~S~ all . im very happy to have this bomber/sound mod installed and my hats off to all those that have developed this .. i am curious though as to the B29 gunnery .. when is there a ball turret for it going to come out?? or is there already and i just havent spotted it yet??? also i wonder on the PBY Nomad.. doesnt seem to have gunnery at all???

B-29 had no ball turret, all were remote control turrets...

ok here is the scoop on the PBN

the bad news is... im afraid no actual graphics for turret positions - we dont have any decent turret positions allready in game that would suit the PBN especially for front - ive allready tried the front using the same front piece i used for the MBR but it wasnt anywhere near wide enough

the good news is - its out asap with floating gunsights - which means turret position without graphics for turrets

ALSO...
we are updating the B29 with more remote floating sights - so more gun positions will be operable

Bear - hiya
as you can see from madcats picture - the picture explains exactly how we intend to control the guns in game. presently Ai gunners do take control of them

~S~ ok ty for the clarification... i did download something in the beginning of this mod development that was a B29 ball turret thing but it never worked.... not like the B17 anyways . i was curious as to this as i love the gunnery and blowing them would be attackers out of there seats .... come get you some ....

MrJolly did I read that right "how we intend to control the guns in game".

Be cool if you could control all the gunners on the B-29 but how you going to switch on/off what guns you can conrtol?

One b-29 gunner could control two turrets at one time. This would be nice. They also had a primative computer in each gun station that took into account wind direction,air speed and bullet drop. From what I have read if the gunner could put his cross hairs on a japanese plane and it was close enough it was going down. It was quite accurate. 8)

look at the picture carefully, behind the top front turret, there is a bubble glass canopy. thats where the real gunners controled the guns from :roll:
