Could you have had a gunner so that you could still manuver while your boat fired back?

Yes, but it was largely ineffective. The code of the flying PT was not up to release standards

The poor gunner was finding it very hard to score hits since the frame rate was stuttering so badly. I even tried gunning for another con attendee and it was pretty much impossible.

I'm glad I tried gunning because I was getting irritated by my gunner missing so much. I mean, I planted myself within D100 on MANY cons (easy with the UFO flight model) and said "12-oclock, get him" only to watch the enemy remain airborne. I was thinking my gunners were drunker than I was, but it was really hard to hit anything at 1 FPS.

I have a few pics, I'll try to get them up soon, < I drove all night Sunday to get home and am just now really awake...> My best one was hanging nose down above a base ans Salvoing torps at the VH... they wouldnt blow up but the did have collision on and I think I squashed at least one osti....... when that got old I drove under the Tower hill and killed from there, reloading was easy just die and you spwn back to the death point

I had a gunner jump on board as I was making my long flight back from Knights HQ..... I believe he got at least one kill.

All I know is that HT needs to learn to keep his flyin PT away from my B26's

I got 5 kills on him and he got 1 of my drones. Made me feel good to land those kills.

I think the best way to kill you guys was with the 26's and some good gunery skills (fast fingers on the 123456 keys)
