I know the USN switched the front turret to an Elco model, but does anyone know why? The armament remained the same...... Just curious
 
The ERCO turret provided more protection had a greater degree of mobility when in use as a low level patrol aircraft attacking shipping.
B-24 was 3 feet longer with erco.
