Hitching a ride with BohicaIce, I am slammed into the world of hurt that classified as 'business as usual' for WW2 gunners.

*Attention* I see some people subbing to the channel from this video which is great! However, please understand that I *no longer do* game play videos but provide content on the history of military aviation (operations, planes etc). It's pretty awesome and you should stick around for that ;)

[@TriousSports]

will you ever make another channel doing these types of videos?

[@iammrmech7650]

Please Bis ;-; I need more of your perfect German humour

[@BaquePhotography]

Yeah these videos are really enjoyable.

[@genericpersonx333]

Dan S To be more precise, it is a matter of acknowledging that pretty much all defensive guns on planes are about deterrence because it is very difficult for gunners to see an enemy, let alone get good fire on it. Since the odds of getting a hit are very small irrespective of what gun you are using, the question is if you consider using bigger and deadlier guns is worth the additional weight. Every pound you put into your guns is a pound not able to be put towards fuel or bombs. The B17 Flying Fortress, for example, could have carried a lot more bombs or added dozens of miles to its range if it had used .30cal machineguns for defense instead of .50cals, as the smaller guns were literally less than half the weight. However, a lot fewer Axis planes would have gone home with expensive repair bills if they had not packed the bigger guns. Such is the question designers had to answer for themselves.

[@KevinMcScrooge]

Why not? I'm really interested in aviation history, but much more interesting in historically accurate games. Especially this game.

[@alighathorc1549]

A german gunner, with a US pilot in a Soviet plane. Strangest coalition ever in WWII.

[@t5ruxlee210]

Many wartime Lancaster bomber crewmen had received a modicum of pilot training "before being selected for other vital jobs". Those still keen to try driving a plane could go to "night school" early or late in missions. There was only one pilot position on most operational bomber airplanes and to say the pilot and trainee both had high motivation to teach and learn was a given. Bailing out over enemy territory was to be avoided if at all possible, especially if somebody, anybody, could get a shot up plane back into friendlier skies.

This makes me wonder, wouldn't War Thunder be so much more fun if they added a gunner view? It'd actually make flying bombers so much easier

[@treatb09]

is there not? they have a pilot view. that game was great till it became unplayable.

[@Beowulf-eg2li]

Bo Huggabee I meant where you can actually aim down the sights of your gunner's gun and not have to aim when the camera is above the plane, if that makes sense

I remember all the custom setups i had for aircraft trims and crazy stick calibration setups as well. IL-2 was and probably will always be the best dogfighting simulator of all time./Bmbing/strafing/taking off/landing/flatspins/redouts/blackouts/full trim to turn harder/amazing graphics/cockpit detail/IR tracker/bombing sights u can adjust from 5km while doing 200 mph and hit it on the bullseye.

[@skelejp9982]

It is a true Art,to give ur Gunner a Good perspective. After evading enemy tailing by turn,put plane straight for 3 seconds,gunner will have good shooting position,while tailing enemy is focusing for 2 seconds on aiming ! After 1 second,gunner is aimed,got 2 seconds to damage tailing plane,then Pilot makes another move. Keep throttle 75ish ,so Fighter plane will be too fast to hit. One of the best rewards as a Pilot,is when your gunner tells U,You are a good Pilot ; )

[@snoweefrost4412]

American Pilot: Yee haw! German Gunner: TECHNIQUE! LIFE! A FUTURE! MEDALS! DON'T YOU RUIN THIS FOR ME! That Russian bomber was so confused that it was crewed by these guys, it just wanted to go back to its hangar and sleep.
