Make the B-17 as tough as the Lanc and THEN you can turn down the guns

Least it's not as lethal as it was in earlier versions. Now you can sustain a good pelting for a B-17 without falling apart.

they should randomize the number of gunners that will track with the players gun position.

most realistic would be to have the players gun position to fire first,

then automatically simulate the player calling the bandits position and have an additional gun position slew in and fire a few seconds later. repeating this step until all guns able are firing at the enemy plane

Well I've seen Pyro say they work via area hits, the main reason for their high lethality.

Yup.

The way it was explained to me one day in the arena is that its called "Coarse Hit Detection".

You can pretty much figure it out from there.

One thing if you haven't noticed is buff guns will hit out to 2k!. Was watching the tracers scream by me as I closed in. I agree buffs are fine the way they are now. @ fighters can take a buff down easily. Just have to sometimes pick away at the buff. I still make the stupid mistake of attaking from the 6, but I have to in order to make him stop hitting the base. As they are I find them ok, cept when I am flying them. I seem to draw a crowd of 5 fighters.

Anyone who squeakes about buff guns, haven't been in a Ju88 whilst you've been stalked by a CHog,Tempest,or Niki.
Or in a B-26, when a FW is closing in from below you..
