facing him and shot down with tail hits - programme error.


You are not facing him. He was along side of your plane. Tail gunners always fire with deflection unless the enemy plane is in the 6 o'clock postion.


I was facing him though he was at sixty degrees to me. The fact that I had deflection on him does not mean he should get a tail shot from the rules - or is this yet another scripting error never sorted on this site.

The rules clearly state that when fired on from directly in front or behind tail and engine hits cannot be recorded. For him he was firing down the length of my plane - no chance of deflection.

How many of these scripting things are there and can we have an errata sheet published?

Not an error. It only count when you fire directly at him not from the side of your plane. Observer rules are different than pilot rules.

Here's the rule for deflection from the rule book:
Firing with Deflection: Add this value unless the target plane is directly in front of the firing plane and is facing directly toward or away from it. For example, in the diagram, aircraft A, B, and C are firing at aircraft D. A is firing with deflection; B and C are not.

Your enemy was not directly in front of your plane so you get deflection. With deflection you can hit the entire plane. It is not a direct fire into the front or rear of the enemy. That is the only time that hits are transferred.
