Ju88 turrets useless...

[Asgar]

no...they say the elevator goes to full up deflection...nothing about flaps. that's the recovery system of the 88 and yes it had that in real life

[6./ZG26_5tuka]

It doesn't say anything about flaps or stall. It says the elevator moved to full up position automaticly, which is true for models fitted with the dive recovery system (pretty much every Ju-88 up until later in the war).

 

The Ju-87 was said to possibly recieve it's recovery system ingame at some stage so maybe the Ju-88 will be, too.

In any case, you did not answer the actual question...

 

Here you always have to look down to the altimeter to know when you have to throw your bombs or throw with estimation."

Where did you get this information? I just eyeball it.

I think the short burst have many reasons, this is what we learned doing with a MG 42 in Norwegian army to aim better and conserve ammunition, it also allowed a lot more ammo through the barrel before changing it before it over heated. So short burst for a non belt gun make sense in any perspective. 

In terms of defensive measures I think the speed and altitude is the one best applied on the JU 88. German bombers sucked big time in defensive armament. It still bother me that it come off as defenseless.

My Turrets in the JU88 are broken, they cannot be moved or shoot any bullets. It's not only me but anyone else who jumps in my 88 can't use them either. This is so strange as all the turrets on the other planes Axis and Allies work fine for me. 

The JU88 is totally broken for me, I will have to let a dev know hence I found this post just as I was going to let them know.

 

EDIT: I performed a verify files in Steam when I couldn't connect to the master server after I had a Internet dropout no mater what I tried and that seems to have fixed the turret issue at least in single player so I'll now test multiplayer.

Had this in MP myself a few weeks ago. I could view the gunner position but couldn't nestle to sight or fire.

 

Gents,

 

I have found that you need to ensure that the side window (Canopy) is selected closed, other wise you can not use the gunner position to shoot.

 

Regards and hope this helps.

I just tried multiplayer and it's still broken. It works in single player just fine when selecting the plane in quick mission. I got someone to jump in and test it in multiplayer as I thought it wouldn't just affect me and they had the exact same problem. It seems my Multiplayer Ju88 turrets system is broken.

I know what you mean there, I did that on the H111 to switch sides but the JU88 none of the guns work at all for me in multiplayer.

Did you end up getting it fixed or is it still broken for you in multiplayer?

Did you get my PM?  Have you ensured that it is not the Pilot's side window (canopy) being open?

Not sure what you mean about switching sides, unless you mean the left and right side gunners?  I did not mean that, but what I meant was that you must check that the canopy when you are in the pilot's position is selected as closed!

This I believe is the issue!!

Thanks, I only realised you sent me something from here. As I said I'll try that out.

This fixed the issue thanks Haza

 

I'll check Haza's solution later and confirm if it fixes it.

I can confirm this is the reason it wasn't working. Feeling silly lol

Glad it worked!

 

Another thing to watch out for, is that if you lose the sound if you jump into another player's gunner, ask them to cycle the window (open and close it) as this appears to turn the aircraft sounds etc back on.

Has this been poated in the bugs section?

[Matt]

I'll check if it still happens in the beta and report it.

 

EDIT: Reported.

In Ju88 A-1 (1940) manual  flaps lever position  "Hohenfl" - Höhenflosse und Landeklappen ~ Tailplane and flaps, seems related with dive recovery, adjusting both simultaneous (?).
