Dear fellows,

please enlighten one ignorant German. I wonder why the British did stick to the habit of installing just one Vickers machine gun for many years while the Germans hab TWO synchr. MGs??? I thought as their engines were more reliable and more powerful than the German´s , it might have be more evident if the Entente would start using two guns as soon as they had a good sync. system??

Thank you for any comment!
