posticon Tail gunner getting offensive and passing shots in the same turn.


Preston,

Here is a copy of the Tail gunner shooting at an E/A at 6 o'clock and then taking a passing shot at the one from 12 0'clock in the same turn.

Zone 6, Turn 1 (Out)
Terrain: F
Weather: Bad
1 German fighter waves

Wave 1 (Attack 1): 3 fighters
Fighter cover: None
0 enemy fighters chased off by cover

Nose missed Me109 at 12 Low
Port Cheek missed Me109 at 10:30 Level
Ball Turret missed Me109 at 6 Low
Tail Turret missed Me109 at 6 Low

Me109 at 12 Low missed.
Me109 at 6 Low missed.
Me109 at 10:30 Level missed.

Tail Turret hit Me109 at 12 Low - shot down

Target Zone
Evading flak.
Light flak.

Flak: Bomber hit by 1 flak bursts. 3 flak hits.
Starboard Wing: #3 Engine - Out; prop feathered.
Starboard Wing: Superficial damage
Tail: Rudder - Hit

Bomb run was off target: 0%.

Zone 6, Turn 2 (Ret)
Terrain: F
Weather: Bad
1 German fighter waves

This happens every so often and I haven't figured out any pattern.

Re: Tail gunner getting offensive and passing shots in the same turn.


Was on holiday last two weeks of August and got out of the habit of checking a lot of the things I normally check every day. (Or week. ;-)

That is wierd. I suspect that you tried passing fire, correct? In that case the bug would merely be a inappropriate string -- saying "12 Low" rather than "6 whatever". If you did not try passing fire, then there is an operational bug, which is a whole different ball of wax.

What do you mean "Tried passing fire"? The emulator runs through the sequence of the german fire and then ask me to allocate passing fire, even if the tail gunner has already fire.

If I follow that sentence, yes.

The emulator handles passing fire (or should) just like the rule book says ...
