Perferred Gun Placment

-=Spy=- · 09-19-09, 12:42 AM

I searched and didnt find anything.

While I was playing IL-2 a few days ago, I was flying right behind an enemy fighter with a plane whose guns were place widely. (On the wings) I found that often my bullets would pass the plane before converging together. This lead to me having to shoot to one side to conistantly hit the target. Later, I was attacking another target with a P-38. As I let loose with all my guns, my vision was somewhat obstructed by mussel flashes and tracers. As a result, my aim drifted often. It was after that I took command of a plane who, while somewhat lightly armed, had its guns placed close to the fuselage, but still on the wings. (And one with the guns right on the side of the body) I found this placment to be perfect. I could attack targets up closly and from far away with good accurcy, and was never blinded by my own guns.

So I ask you this question. If you could have your guns placed in one of these positions, where would you have them.
