Title: UBT 12.7 turret for the Soviet-mod A20-C
Post by: mandrill on November 27, 2009, 05:13:05 PM

Ranwers made a great external model for the Russian-modded A20-C which featured an UBT turret. However, this mod did not feature an internal mod for the turret and the user has only the original A-20 open twin .30 cal. mounting.

Can some kind and brilliant man please modify the Pe-2 or Il-10 turret for the A-20C? :-*

Thanks, Ringlett. I downloaded your mod and it looks pretty good. (I am guessing that the difference between the Early and Late A-20C was just loadout).

You mod has the advantage over the Ranwers mod of having its own slot and loadouts.

But the modeling issue remains the same as the issue with the Ranwers mod. The interior of the A-20C dorsal turret is the un-modded open twin .30 cal position. Can you - or anyone else - substitute a UBT 12.7 turret from any other Russian light bomber to give the illusion of operating a single gun turret??

Poorly, I do not know how much to express in English. It is not my job. it's somebody from avia.ru. But your comments. I bothers me the interior of the tower. But a friend is currently trying to cram the interior of the tower where the Su-2. Regarding cargo bothers me terribly good rails and lack of bombs flying in the air. And with that we try to do something. If I read correctly the difference between late erly and should only be the cargo.

Thank you for your help and  information. Please let me know if anything good happens with this mod at Aviaskins. Because I only know a couple of Russian words, it is hard for me to read that site. :)

BTW, the turret currently featured in the exterior view of the Russian mod A-20C is not an SU-2 turret,  but an Il-4 turret. This is important, as the whole point of the Soviets (and us) doing the mod is to get the super-effective UBT 12.7mm hmg onto the plane, instead of 1 or 2 light 7.5mm mg's.

Yes but these towers are identical, although that could be fitted to different types of guns
