Observers and their Machine Guns
The observer had to operate his machine gun from a confined and very unstable platform
made more difficult by the erratic and sometimes unpredictable maneuvers of the pilot. The
observer had to also deal with traversing the gun within a strong slip stream which could be from
90mph to 110mph that effected both the gunner and the trajectory of the bullets. To make flying
a two-seater more historical and realistic, on any turn in which the pilot of the plane does not
perform a non-restricted straight maneuver, the observer of the plane cannot fire his machine
gun. In short, the observer can only fire his machine gun if the pilot performs a non-restricted
straight maneuver (including the [1S0] stall). Below are more detailed firing arcs for some of the
observer aircraft in Blue Max. Stars mean that the observer can fire at a target at the same
altitude, and the arrows mean that he can fire either up one level, down one level, or both.
