My grandson was a B-17 Turret Gunner, he used to fight for Ptolemy II, every time he came back he told me his stories with tears in his eyes. he died swallowing Oreo, I will never forget !
One of my coworkers at my old job, his grandpa or great-grandpa was a ball gunner on an American bomber during the war. Props to him for being in the most dangerous post on the plane.
I think the bombers need a damage model rework similar to the light tanks at top tier. There should be additional modules inside the aircraft that, when broken, negatively effect the aircraft in ways that doesn’t just shred it out of the sky and make it fall apart from a few shells. A few examples could be: Bomb sight - when destroyed will impact point will be stuck, will no longer adjust and maybe cracks show in the bomb sight view Hydraulics- When damaged, reliant modules slowly lose usability. When destroyed will disable the bomb bay, gear, and flap control. Also any hydraulic turrets. Navigator (Crewman)- When killed disables your own marker on the map and hides base markers. Pilot and Copilot (Crewmen)- When one is killed the control of the aircraft is limited. When copilot must take control due to pilot death the crew skills are halved. In exchange the bombers structure is buffed which means less losing your wing from 1 20mm round or a single 30mm round cutting the tail off. The aircraft can still take crippling damage but in the internal components.
@1:55 yo I know that song !! I remember playing( type of 3,000 ) I believe is the name, when I was in elementary. A classic theme that was my favorite.
Little known fact nowadays, the ball turret has an official name. It's name is the Tucker turret. It is named after it's original maker, Preston Tucker.

I agree with you, but also the amount of sound effects still continues man.

@@Tinyguy-zm8bjyeah its not even funny anymore
it never was really funny to begin with anyways
I like them. Gives me nostalgia of pre-2020s YT exe vids.
in 2017, this plane was a legend in the game. They used to call it the castle in the sky.
strange you didnt encounter a do 335 b2...
My brother just got that and has 475 kills in 8 days
Remember when a set of fully trained AI gunners in the B-17 were actually a threat to attacking planes?
2:10 there's a beast deep inside ahhhh moment
Can you shut up
Nice balls
indeed
indeed
Fun fact most b 17 ball turrets were so small and unprotected it was usually the shortest or smallest person to operate
The seat was actually the most armored part of the thing.
@@CallofDutyBlackOps28 yes but it was more exposed and the gunner would barely be able to survive any kind of dmg if the turret was hit
@@bruhhi1099and he wasn't wearing a parachute
@@miko3609 most of the time the person hasn’t but if he was small enough than there could be space for one
B-17E/L is the prettiest B-17

Epic video
Castle + plane = late ww2 American heavy bombers
the ball turret has got to be my favorite position in a B17
Love the content. Glad im early
Same
Imho if to take into account all the simplifications that fighters have (like all planes), gunners are REALLY underperforming...
You won't get out, not when in dives at 300 knots...
“This is fine” ahh ball gunner
Plane balls go crazy
i think he's running out of ideas
