No thanks.

I like doing it myself.

IF you add realistic norden, IF you tone down .50 buff turbolasers, IF you add drift and wobble to dropping bombs, IF you get rid of in-flight AWACS+GPS, IF you get rid of the magic perf-o-matic convergence, IF you are unable to fire through solid surfaces of your own buff....still NO, thks    :)

Cheers,

Pepe

No.

Totally agree with Pepe too as long as blast damage is modelled.

I like the IDEA of it but it never seems to work.  I have never tried to write an algorithm for gun aiming but it seems that it is very difficult to create one which has all the flaws of a human gunner.

no...No...nO.... and NO NO NO again!

Otto would be fine if it had the weakness of a human gunner, but like Funked said, I haven't seen an algorithm yet that even comes close.

Otto sucks!

How about the ability to load more than 1 gunner... only one bogey can be engaged at any 1 time...
