Wonder if any "fake" guns could stick out the nose instead. Honestly, the way the game deals with ground targets we don't really need more guns. I have a huge interest in the 5th AF and the starfers in particular, and the game treats all of them abysmally.
1. The ground DMs are too simple. Killed, not killed.
2. The ship DMs are pretty terrible. They should be at least as complex as a bomber in game. The 50 cals were to SUPPRESS the AAA, not destroy it outright (same for land attack).
3. The AI can't fly them right anyway.
3a. They need to fly at minimum alt (that means the crew chief has to pull palm fronds out of the engine when you RTB)
3b. They need to open fire with the MGs at extreme range, and mash the trigger down (kicking the rudder, perhaps) until they leave, run out of ammo, or the gun fails.
3c. They need to drop their bombs, then LEAVE. ONE PASS.
What would happen with more guns is that they'd loiter and strafe until the whol target was wrecked, or they all got killed
In short, add fake guns to the front, and it'll look cool, but we have enough guns to kill more than our fair share of stuff anyway!
Looks GREAT!
