Why can't the bombers dump fuel? Besides the fact that it would endanger the sheep?

I bet some buff pilots would like to see the ability to dump a dumb gunner first

I've wanted this for some time now.

Only for planes that historically "could" dump fuel of course.

Also "dumping" a damaged tank should stop the everpresent white trail saying.
"Easy pickings, he's already damaged, kill this one FIRST".

To me it's saying "Somebody already put some rounds in me. Kill me, and you will get an assist!"

I have never flown as a gunner. What exactly should I avoid so I do not fall into the "Dumb Gunner" category? Thanks for the education!

For example firing off all ammo "to check guns",
or going AFK when entering defended airspace, or asking "how do I fire guns?" when enemy bullets are already hitting your pane ...

I've only had the "Sprey all your tail gun ammo at someone 3.0K away" gunner, and only a few times.

That and the smoking dead engine. Did engines that were shutdown or shot out really trail smoke forever ?

Hrmm, now only if my Zero could fuel dump, would save so many planes.
