Hello everyone,

There is one thing that seem to be this way and please feel free to correct me if I am wrong:

I was flying B-52 and she have radar guided tail gun (.50 cal).  When MiG-17 was chasing me, the gun kept missing MiG-17.

I was in the similar situation while being in B-24 as Zero zip zap over me.  It seem like the turret gun have the same accuracy and reaction time.  So it got me wondering...

Wouldn't the radar guided turret have higher accuracy compared to human operated turret gun?  Would it make sense to increase the percent of accuracy and decrease the reaction time of more advanced defensive guns on certain aircraft, based on the equipment and era?

Seems a good idea.

The modder would have to code something special.
In the case of B-52, they did not. It is just a "regular gun".

In the B-36, the radar controlled tail of the H versions is always "ace" level, no matter the plane setting, to simulate advanced accuracy.
To have a good tail gun, set your B-52 to ace.

That is noted.  I will do that.
