To beable to kill the AI or manned gun positions in the Bommers, and
get rid of the 3 bommer formations and the one man jumping from one to another .

You are able to "kill" the AI gun positions. Hit it and it will be destroyed...
And 3 bombers are 3 targets for me, so please don´t change it

So what stops the gunner from just rejoining the other planes ....in the fake 3 bommer formation ?

Nothing stops him. If one gun posotion is dead in one plane, the others are still functional. Kill the others and they won't work either.

So you want the bombers to be total helpless if you killed the single human gunner perchance? That would degrade buffs to be just flying targets, which are as fun to attack as ".target XXX" in my opinion.
I can understand the frustration one experiences when shot down by concentrated fire the so called "laser turrets". It sometimes happens to me too, but it has been always my fault, in these cases i did not attack properly. From both as my experience as bomber-butcher and fighter-slayer as well as some quick look at the stats (last tour B17 K/D 0.38, Lanc 0.27): buffs are not that dangerous. If you do not attack from six o´clock...

Was in a flight of B26's yesterday. Although the high-power cannon planes (one Tempest, and one La7, and a Spit16) did do damage to my flight while on my level 6:00, the 2 planes that did the most dirt to me were a P51-D and a 110, both of which sliced my planes up at both high and low angles. I ended up a pilot wounded fireball.

Checkers, you just don't get it! If we took it down to 1 bomber per person we'd actually have to organize and work a little to accomplish something. And as you know, 1 fighter can have a huge impact stopping the horde. That's why we need the bombers how they are, to make it fair. Besides, who would want to fly 1 single bomber if you couldn't ruin the fun for many people all by yourself? Maybe you should fly bombers more and see for yourself the fun of bringing them in at 1k off the deck NOE style and surpressing the enemy from flying fighters. After all, the sooner we stop any and all human opposition, the sooner we win the war.
