Revision as of 22:36, 16 September 2011
I really don't know why I bothered changing the picture, just bugged me as was an MG15. Why is it that there is not a single entry for this gun? I fund it hard to believe that one has never appeared on film, as it was the standard fixed machine gun of pretty much every German plane that used fixed MGs (to name a few, BF 109, Fw 190, JU 87, HE 111 to name but a few of the many aircraft that mounted it). If there has genuinely never been a movie with a surviving WW2 aircraft that had an MG17 mounted then surely it should at least be listed for some WW2 era flight sims? --commando552 17:11, 16 September 2011 (CDT)
Pretty sure you're not supposed to make pages for weapons that havn't been used in films/video games, but good for you if you find any. You might want ot adda a little history of the gun to the page.--MAndolin 17:20, 16 September 2011 (CDT)
- I didn't make the page, just found it and not only was it empty, it had a picture of an MG15 rather than an MG17, so just changed the picture, which happens to be the entirety of the article at the moment. It may be the case that it has never appeared on film, as the only film I can think of which has a genuine WW2 German plane was the JU 87 in Battle of Britain, and that was the one from the RAF museum which is a G-2 variant without internal guns (used 37mm underwing gun pods) but there should be some video games with it in. I would add them, but have no knowledge of flight sims at all. --commando552 17:44, 16 September 2011 (CDT)
