Observer Guns

[tippedtop]

Yes, two seaters are my pet subject this week !

Do observers roll on the wing or deck mounted gun chart ?

I know I have askedthis before, but should a British observer, not roll on the single wing gunchart if it is ecaxtly the same kind of weapon ?

Was a twin mounted Lewis gun on an observers scarf ring realy as effective as a deck mounted pair of Vickers guns ??

It's on the deck chart but down one column.

So if an Allied machine had twin flex Lewis guns- would that be rolled on the twin deck gun chart but down a table ?

I assume the shift left of one table is in addition to the shift all observers get anyway ?

So in effect- an observer shifts down 2 tables but alwats on the beck guns (weather its single or twin) ?

yes, exactly.

No, observers always shift down one table. A second table for deflection shots.
