B-24 Forward Turret Nose GUN! - Bigmike - 08.03.2008

please fix the B-24! forward gun turret! use a B-25J top gun for its turret! then that would be really real! looking for the front gun! and here is a picture showing which way it can turn! in action

maybe you should change this to front and rear guns perhaps? Since both of them do turn 180 degrees or around about anyway when the AI gunner controls them. But we can't move them 180. Change gun parameters or something?

Like Bigmike posted, is it possible to use B-25 turret for this? With limitation on 180

May i just point out this isn't the only plane with a problem. The Pe8 top gunner has only 90 degrees or so movement currently when it should be 360 degrees as u can see when the AI controls it. There are others as well...

I think you'll find the problem with using the top turret, as you and others have requested in the past, is not exactly possible - due to how far the gun can depressed - not below the horizontal... So if you had this in the nose position, you couldnt depress it far enough.

The tail gun from the '25, as Raptor has suggested, would be the best bet for a decent replacement, unless someone can actually mod the TURRET itself.

Thought so - do depression with top turret.


Is anyone willing to try to put B-25J tail tunner to simulate this? And also what about A-20G top turret? - It would simulate B-24s tip turret way better.
