Nothing is stopping you from filming for a few minutes ... quit the game ... view the film and establish who is in the gun.

If he was in the gun for 30 minutes or so, you had plenty of time to do this.

True, but I don't think you can see the player id of someone in an SB... That's part of the issue.

HighTech: Is there a way to do this? Or is this something outta the realm of changing?

I think it'd be a nice feature for those shades sitting in the SB(s).

Good point. And I didn't mean to imply I was disagreeing with the request, because in fact I think it is a good one. I just know from personal experience (see my post for an example) that sometimes people get frustrated about something they *think* they saw, but didn't.

I don't doubt that it happens occasionally, but my primarily optimistic world view says it happens less often than people think. Feel free to tell me I am dead wrong and all Pollyannish.

The other day when we had 162 and the nits were furiously trying to get it back the SB was manned, and many thought it was not firing until I started to circle above the CV. I could see the splashes of the rounds landing just shy of the CV. I gave feedback to the SB about where the shells were landing and the accuracy improved.
Just because you cannot see or hear it firing does not mean it isn't

but still it would be nice to have an icon above guns so you don't have to say "Hey you in the shore battery over the town", or "The guy in the field ack, on the southern end of the runway", and so forth...

It will show on the film. Also, you can jump to all the players' in range and look out through their perspective. You can run the film from their perspective, and see if they are shooting. That is how you can tell. If you still suspect some kind of foul play or spying, you can send the film to HTC with an e-mail explaining what you believe is going on. Then, of course, it's in their hands.

I will test the film theory tonight.. I don't think they show in SB, only manned ack and ships guns..
