(In real life, the B-17G was the only version of the plane that had this gun and it was a twin .50. The game messed this up.)

2. The port cheek gun and the starboard cheek gun are both .50 cal guns. (Actually, I think they were .30s in real life, but the game simplifies it by making them like all the other guns on the ship.) The bombardier has the port cheek gun and the navigator has the starboard cheek gun, though they can trade off is someone is injured. They essentially fire at anything in the 10:30 and 1:30 positions (high, even, or low). The cheek guns get moderate action. Due to the cramped conditions near the guns, it's usually impossible to fire both cheek guns at once, though it happens sometimes when I forget that rule.

Hell yeah!
