I've noticed that the Medusa Class Heavy Bomber (from FS2) has a gun turret on the top. Does anyone know how to use it?

A flail would work great for that turret.

um *grin* Flail was FS1 the FS2 version is called the Morningstar though dont know what fred2 calls it
the turret definetely works, i got replaying FS2 during the week after installingit ready, and on the slaying the ravanna mission i downgraded my teram from boeanerces to Athenas, (which also have a turret on top) it only seems to cover the top hemisphere of the craft (top 180) right at the start a squad of shivan fighters come at your squad, and all four of your squads turrets firing on them takes the first couple of shivans out usually
if your by yourself though ... not very effective
