Jul 29, 2004 #505 L Lightning Guy Master Sergeant 2,511 4 Apr 29, 2004 But gunfire from below was just as likely to come up through the fuselage floor and strike a waist gunner, navigator, pilot, etc.

Jul 29, 2004 #506 the lancaster kicks ass Major General 19,937 17 Dec 20, 2003 but this way you see it coming................
Jul 29, 2004 #507 L Lightning Guy Master Sergeant 2,511 4 Apr 29, 2004 And that makes it better how? It's not as if the ball-turret gunner could get out of the way.
Jul 30, 2004 #508 the lancaster kicks ass Major General 19,937 17 Dec 20, 2003 that's what makes it the worst posistion..................
Jul 30, 2004 #509 L Lightning Guy Master Sergeant 2,511 4 Apr 29, 2004 I don't quite see how. No one else was going to dodge a burst of flak or a stream of cannon shells.
Jul 31, 2004 #510 the lancaster kicks ass Major General 19,937 17 Dec 20, 2003 but this bloke could see it coming..................
Jul 31, 2004 #511 L Lightning Guy Master Sergeant 2,511 4 Apr 29, 2004 And what advantage is that? The guy who doesn't see it coming is just as dead.
Jul 31, 2004 #512 plan_D Lieutenant Colonel 11,643 22 Apr 1, 2004 That's the disadvantage, is what Lanc is saying. He gets to see his own death, I suppose.

Jul 31, 2004 #516 L Lightning Guy Master Sergeant 2,511 4 Apr 29, 2004 Even if it's a 20mm, I don't think he's going to have the chance to get off a warning like that.
Aug 1, 2004 #517 plan_D Lieutenant Colonel 11,643 22 Apr 1, 2004 And even if a joke slapped you in the face you wouldn't just laugh.

Aug 1, 2004 #519 the lancaster kicks ass Major General 19,937 17 Dec 20, 2003 he makes a good point aswell...............
Aug 1, 2004 #520 plan_D Lieutenant Colonel 11,643 22 Apr 1, 2004 I always make good points, in my mind. But most of the time it's just complete crap.
