[DONE] Ju.88A-4/Torp
#42

Hi chaps - I take your point about launching the torpedo from the bombardier's position. If it can't be done, then no problem. Personally, I would prefer to stick with pilot launching, rather than have an invented sight, in any case. I think the comment about the pilot also being able to launch the torpedos may well be valid. The Ju 88 cockpit was very small and even if the pilot didn't have a button on his control column, I'm pretty sure he could have leaned over and used the bombardier's trigger (if necessary).

Here's a couple of afterthoughts:

The 20mm MG FF fixed installation on Ju-88s often seems to have been of this variety (ie provided with a streamlined jacket):

Which is also found on the He-111H6 model:

And this instrument grouping, as I'm sure you know, is incorrect:

The gauges should be seen through a circular glazed panel as shown here:

True size of the gauges when uncowled:

I realise the gauges were enlarged for gameplay reasons (I assume they function?), but I wonder if the surround could at least be made circular?
