To be honest I really thought that the ability to shoot down was an obvious design feature that should've been on all shooters from the get-go. Sean from 1771 and I had talked about it early in the season and it clearly paid off for them.
I still want to see 1726 and 1771 side by side one day. Scary thought. Oh wait, that's what next to them? 188????
1323 has been designing a new turret and hood since 1771's performance.
