Speaking from WB experience, auto gunners can be either "useless" or "deadly", no intermediate states. I definitely dont want neither 1st in my plane nor 2nd in enemies.

Get a gunner.

NO NO NO Spend the hours in the tail of your buff , get good , come back with a different perspective . This is a game of skill . Systems managment has been sufficiently "dumbed down" so that with pratice one can accurately fly/bomb/defend with little trouble . Absofrikkenlutely no reason to put auto guns on aircraft . (besides we already get all the guns in the plane slaved to the postion we shoot from)

Doesnt matter if your good at gunning when your flying an attack aircraft.  Your never going to jump in the rear gun of a 110 because its always better to avoid rather than gun...leaving the gunners on many planes unused.  You shouldnt need more than 1 human to get full advantage of your aircraft.  But in level bombers your not going to be avoiding with a flight of bombers so its alot more reasonable to expect the pilot to jump on the guns.  And even when gunning level bombers you can use rudder to do subtle movements.
Not to mention the game doesnt really handle gunning for a moving aircraft very well...even with pilot and gunner living in texas with 30 ping to server the warping is just too bad while gunner side tries to update its location.

from the book of dweeb

nd a cry went out amongst the land to protecteth the pitiful and fragile eunuch bombers, who now spake only with the voice of Ottina. But the masses speaketh with a louder voice. "Otto is not Human, but a vile and magical demon is he. We cannot smite yon dragon for the Otto doth protect him like a lioness to her cubs." And so the Gods of ICI doth fix the Otto and the bombers were protecteth by his mighty particle beam no more. And much carnage doth happen. But lo, learneth the Buff Dweebs that truly mayest the bombers surviveth as a group and yet could they lay waste to the land. But all that was needed was 3.

 :rofl

Also from the book of dweeb chapters 9 to 21

And the lord hitech spoketh, he who is dweeb by nature shall need not fear from ottos purge. for he shall be in thy Tempest or Pony an lo the buffs shall fall before him. But those of pure spirit who cometh from the realm of tards cried to the lord and praised him for his wisdom in smiting Otto to the depths of hell in the high hopes that they may continue ramming and HOing to defend thy pixels from harm.

So noweth the dweebs and the tards live in constant unity, for now a new race is born, that of the alt monkeying bufftard and the former enemies now have the common goal of the erradication of the buffs.

here endeth this rather pointless lesson.

when i up a 110 or il2 I empty the rear gun except for the last 30 to 50 bullets.  that is just so I can give somebody something to think about in cases where i cant turn. some people actually get more carefull and gives me sometimes time to get that last building or whatever.

Why? It only has 200 rounds and has a pretty good punch.
Aim for the enemy cockpit. :aok

I will gladly demonstrate to you how useless the rear gun in a buff is anytime.

So am I

EDIT: Well... more the mediums. But in the right hands the rear guns in the light ones are just as deadly.
