Improving the Ki-67 Hiryū (飛龍)

The fact that Gaijin doesn’t know how to fix the nose and tail turrets boggles my mind. It’s a simple peg and slot mechanism

Notice how the glass dome has to turn completely before firing again; you can see how in the gunner view, the green reticle rotates completely around. And then in the chase camera, you see how it rotates, even though the gun mount doesn’t… sigh. It should really look like this:

I get what you’re saying, but I don’t see how the glass dome would rotate like that. It would have to rotate side to side on a vertical axis, and the part on the side the gun turns towards would have to go inside the tail gunner compartment.

There you go.

Wdym? I’m just saying it shouldn’t have to rotate separately

I would love to have under-wing bomb racks on the Ki-67.
If it can carry 2 x 500kg + 15 x 50kg or 2 x 250kg + 8 x 100kg, it can destroy 2 small bases in SBEC BR4.7.

Yes. It is very interesting. Probably it even could 3 x800kg bombs since that under wing bomb racks was used for Ke-Go bomb tests and the weight of one is 800kg. But I am not sure Gaijin will add it…

If it could carry 800 kg in the bomb racks under the wings, it would be great for the Japanese tree, which is suffering from a lack of bomb load on its bombers.
If 2 x 800kg + 15 x 50kg can be installed, it will be possible to destroy 3 small bases at BR 4.7 and 2 at BR 5.0 to 6.3 of SBEC, making it possible to counter the onslaught of enemy bombers.
In order to get Gaijin to implement it, it would be necessary to make suggestions in terms of game balance regarding bomb loadings.

I believe it should be able to be bug-reported. If the outer wing racks could carry Ke-Go, it could DEFINITLY carry 800 kg dumb boms
