Deck Guns and Aircraft
 

Does anyone know if deck guns will engage aircraft, or is it only AA guns?

Well, since you can't order the crew at the flak guns to shoot at a ship, but can take control of them manually to do so, I would say the same might go for the deck gun... meaning, you couldn't get the crew to shoot at a plane with one, but you could man it yourself and aim at any target you chose.

Altho I'm betting your chances of actually hitting a plane with a deck gun are slim and none. They're hard enough to get a bead on with the flak guns.

!!!COMPETITION TIME!!!

You can take an AirShip down with the Deck Gun!

Pictures or it never happened,:cool:

Jim is going to re-upload tomorrow.
I already PM'ed him about it.
:D

You found yourself quickly there ... a smokescreen spread among the trees, :|\\

Yeah...and I'm not all that far away from Newark :03:

Haven't a clue what that's supposed to mean :doh:

I've also a video of a surface engagement with a ghost ship that fires back :smug:

:hijacked: Is it worth attacking airships with any/all available armament?
Those things were supposed to be filled with hydrogen during ww2.

I have seen the video, scout's honor! :yep:

Would you like to buy some girl scout cookies?

No.












But I'd love to eat some. :haha: Those little... what are they, lemon shortbread things? ZOMG...

BZZZZZT! Wrong answer! :O:

That goes for half the things he says! :) :P

And I thought they got rid of hydrogen after the hindenberg accident. I would hope even the densest designers would think that filling a very large bag with a very explosive gas would be bad in wartime.
