- Marksman is a good Optional for large caliber weapons (30mm and up along with Gunsight. - Gunner DPS build should have Turret Stabilization as equipment module. - Gunner DPS build is for select aircraft with a powerful rear gun. (SE-100, A26B, ME265, ME 329, etc) |
Grandpa's Comments/Reviews
I have experimented with the recommendations of using Gunsight and Marksmen on those aircraft with 30mm and higher guns. Specifically the P39N/Q, A6M3, and Bf-109Z. Using Gunsight I do see a significant increase in the number of hits. Then when I apply marksman, not so much, that may get better with the 2nd Marksman skil, but haven't earned enough points to test. I do believe the Gunsight is valuable on those higher caliber weapons.
