Unlimited Gunners per Plane

[guncrasher]

It may have been the pilot that controlled the position-can't recall, but the arenas in AW were usually 125-200 people max.

I remember organizing a mission with two countries and over 300 airplanes against the bz (If I remember correctly).  the number of flyers back then may not have been the numbers here, but they were well over 200, dropping to about 20 to 30 at nite and that was just in one arena, I mostly plaid in the pacific. (I played 24/7 back then )

Im actually for this one, having all your mates in a B17's individual positions would be EPIC. The atmosphere would be fantastic, everyone calling out bandits and their direction of travel, when they are firing etc.

Plus it would let me take a whole mob of squeakers to a HQ in just 3 planes .

ok if we cannot have multiple gunners, then lets bring a26.  .

Yep.  A-26 will own any and all other bombers.

A-26 FTW!!!

Still PW protected?  Been quite a few years since visiting there, lost all that stuff in a reformat about 5-6 years ago.

That's exactly why it would be epic. But just how often is a player going to be able to load that many people into a plane? Especially newer people who haven't found their clic yet.

It's the other times that would make it a bomber ruiner. With that system in place, any empty gun is...an empty gun. Defending yourself either becomes a chore or (if implemented like in the previous game) impossible.

I need all the help from those dang typhies and 38s I can get

ok how bout this.....1 gunner per PLANE!!!      in a formation, there are 3 planes, 1 person can be assigned to each bomber.

Pretty often I would imagine, I don't understand why we can't just lock gunners into one position by using dot commands.

I can grasp at the coding struggle all of our suggestions would be for HT and am happy with the way it is now, but the idea of a death star does sound really fun.

Because it's one of those features many people think they want but would detest or never use when we got it.
