Hey guys, no worries, it's still a very realistic change to have the Lewis lowered in order to reload it. Means you can't just sit behind someone in your Nieuport, SE5 or even DH2 and blast away for ages. You'll have to be more careful about accuracy.
"A great deal of an aeroplane could be holed without affecting its ability to fly. Wings and fuselage could be—and often were—pierced in 50 places, missing the occupants by inches (blissfully unaware of how close it had come until they returned to base). Then the sailmaker would carefully cover each hole with a square inch of Irish linen frayed at the edges and with a brushful of dope make our aircraft 'serviceable' again within an hour."
