It’s safer than putting 88 people in the line of fire with the same circumstances. Theres the whole it’s less accurate angle, but its safer, man power not put in line of fire could be used to reload and swap magazines.

The biggest reasons this straight sucks are: identification of friendlies/civilians from the air, not getting blown up at extremely low altitudes, how crazy spread out everything in real life combat

Those reasons would apply to any air based anti-ground operations, even perfectly normal bomber or attacker planes.

The spread of an explosive bomb is WAY more than a bullet. So you only bomb places you know there are no friendlies unless you’re using forward facing guns

This thing is getting shot down the second it comes into view. It's never going to even get close enough to an enemy formation to be used effectively.
