I know. As an house rule, in my club, we don't give bristols two rear gun until (IIRC) August '17. But BM rules says that Bristols have always two guns...
moreover, they used Lewis guns and NOT Maxime ones, so they had to take care about ammos. At the moment a bristol can fire with the aft guns indefinitally in a HUGE fire range, becaming more lethal than a normal plane. Absurd.
I agree, but AFAIK still there are no rules for lewis gun, ammos and reloading (and there's the burst lenght problem, too). Maybe, in the meantime, the lewis gun should have a little penalty on the fire table (short burst vs. medium burst).
More absurd is the fact to attribuite the aft gun score to the pilot. Historically the victories for the aboserver were kept separated by the ones scored by the pilot.
I completely agree with you. The observer must have his score and his kill count (as per BM campaing rules). |
