I note we have the option of doing a long burst at zero range.

I know how this works for the pilot. I have never seen it happen for the observer.

Can it?

The only possibility would seem to be if the planes "share" the same hex and the enemy plane is going faster than the 2 seater and ends up pointed at the 6 o'clock position. Is this how the observer gets a zero range shot?


It might make sense if/when altitude rules are introduced. In that case, the observer might shoot at a plane in the same hex and at a higher altitude, for example.

Right now it cannot happen, of course.


the observer does have a flexible mount machine gun so it quite a bit easier for him to train on an aircraft moving into his hex...especially when approaching from behind as relative speeds would be less...when we played with altitude we did not allow the observer to fire if the target was at a lower altitude...only the same or higher...the hardest shot was when the target aircraft approached from forward...relative speed was much higher and thus the shot much harder...a modification of -2 was applied in addition to any other modifiers for speed

as i said...it was experimental and everyone seemed happy with it
