But here's one for you, what if one pilot wants to go right, while the other wants to go left?

They meet in the middle??

As I recall, with the Zwilling aircraft, the second cockpit was full of radio and maybe even radar equipment, not another crew.

About right, I found this at Google

The He.111Z carried a crew of seven. The pilot sat in the port fuselage, with five throttles, full instrumentation, and controls for the undercarriage members and radiator flaps for the gear and three engines on his side. The second pilot in the starboard fuselage was given dual controls but no throttles, and worked the starboard undercarriage and two sets of starboard engine radiator flaps. The second pilot also served as navigator. A mechanic, radio operator and gunner were housed in the port fuselage, and a mechanic and gunner in the starboard.

So if you hit the fuselage with a 30mm not only does it catch fire but you kill everyone? LOL
