We try.
CC I have heard of the system that you are talking about but I am not sure of it being fit on a Me-163. I have heared of it on Fw-190's, and Ju-88's but not on 163's.
It was definately used. There were problems with the 30mm (MK108?) because of the slow rate of fire and high closing speeds of the Komet on the bombers.

but how the hell is that even remotely linked to what you were saying about the upward firing guns?? you have made no link between the two thing's you're talking about!!

I'd have though it would be better to get the German equivalent of the 20mm and pack about 6 in the nose, that way you get a high rate of fire and a serious punch together
