Problems with turrets

[Lexandro]

Also I would also like to point out that currently the B-17 is (ingame) a tough nut to crack, due to its huge firepower. Many pilots are having issues taking them on in games as it is, and you want them to be further "improved" over the current setup. This would create major issues for any pilot playing in MP, as the gunners positions auto-fire at targets in there proximity. With full coverage that the real B-17 has, ingame this would make it almost impossible to attack from a blind spot as there really would not be any.

It would be far to powerful a tool online, and one that would really upset the balance of the game as it is.

pardon me for saying this- but 'many' pilots online suck. I've had no issues downing B17s. The pathetic turrets for all bombers in game are of no help to most people. The gunners (though accurate they are) fire far to little and don't open up soon enough. The B17's defensive coverage is a joke in game. I frequently kill them with only a few rounds (the damage systems for the B17 are not very good either) and have no answer from it's myriad of heavy machine guns whatsoever. They generally don't fire until I'm within 300 meters. By then it's too late.
