irl most wwii bombers didnt have a limiter on where to shoot (i think the b29 was the only one with that) so i dont see why we cant do that.
imo i rather loose my tail than loose the entire plane because 1 enemy plane was in the huge ass blindspot that is the tail
Dude, what?
If you want to shoot out your tail, you can just J-out, its simpler and it gives you same effect
Turning the ability to hit your own plane would be a massive nerf to bombers and even less players would play them
But from the other side that would be realistic…
Oh well, i guess i am for this idea, but there would have to be some other balancing need to be done
Would be mad funny. Please Gaijin
It’s nonsense.
You have to divide - rear gunner, tail gunner, dorsal gunner
The tail gunner (turret) had electric fire interrupters and in the limit angles of rotation of the turret, there were also some mechanical stops…
The rear gunner (cabin) had mechanical restrictions in the rotating mounting of the weapon…
The dorsal gunner, there were similar limiters as in the tail gunner…
This problem was already solved with rear gunners during the First World War, there it still depended on the discipline of the gunner, during combat, but it was not easy at all… stress, speed of air combat, etc. … already then various limiters, fire interrupters, prototypes were created and solved - i.e. something like you have on coastal boats in the WT Navy, a metal limiter of the movement of the weapon…
If it’s only for single gunner plane’s, then maybe. And preferably only simulator mode as well.
Bomber’s already get there faces kicked in as it is, no need to make it worse.
Might be fun to reenact Indiana Jones lol
yes we need to do this asap it will also be very nice to see people who use aimbot to shoot thier own tails off XD
I lost 17k due to an aircraft team kill.So how much would I get for shooting myself down? I could sure use the SL 😊
iirc teamkilling oneself doesn’t make any penalty :)
I’m gonna go off on a limb and assume you mean rudder/vertical stabilizer, and not tail.
I 100% support this. Would be massive buff to Po-2.
