Dweeby why? Was there some reason why a landed plane could not fire it's tail gun?

Did someone get killed by an f2wirble? :D

getting tired off some ppl's tactics in the f2b,   then to top it off i'm rtb with a pilot wound when i fly over a guy sitting in some trees taking pot shots at me,  

I had to fly all the way around to the front of his plane so he couldn't shoot even then he had a chance,  

the red tag is basically not there so yes this is a whine but I hope to remove gamey play from the WW1 arena!

If some guys ditched or landed in ww1 i very much doubt they sat in the gunner position waiting to shoot at enemy planes

let it go man. I think its clever to use an F2b like that. I mean if i could i would use a bomber in the WW2 arena like that when the base is being straifed by huge numbers of nme fighters.

LOL.  I am sorry Bruv but I have to say no to this request.  I would have just pounced on that F2 and gave him some of what he was asking for. :aok

Mind you I respect Bruv and would in no way categorize him as pathetic.  I still think that he would just give him a helping of some that FEW justice.

Bruv is a man who could whoop you A2A anyday, so I advise you to keep your mouth shut, kid.

Cool we can park a circle of ack-wagons around a spot near where the field ack huggers are orbiting.  We'd have our own safe zone to run to!

What you are describing, my friend, is a circle jerk  !

Gonna say no (and HT even said he did this on purpose so I don't see it being changed).  I say 'no', because not all of us use it to be dweeby.  If I'm being chased by 5 cons when I'm wounded (such as a wing missing, or engine out) and I manage to land it safely on the ground....I want revenge on those hording dweebs....which is worse really, 5v1 or 1 person in a tail gunner on the ground?  If your wish is to disable the gunner on the ground, my wish is to make any planes that jump my wounded rtb plane in gangs of 5-8 to explode when they get within 800yards. :D
Heck I almost never use the gunner, only times I really do are: When PWed and blacked out and when I just lost vital parts and am now stuck on the ground....if the person is stupid enough to stick around before I have a chance to bail, heck ya I'm gonna shoot his little German plane. :P

Question, on a more serious note:
I've never actually seen it used in the ways some describe (landing, killing, re-upping to land kills), so is it really that hard to see/avoid a single .303 firing?  I'm curious since I crashed to the edge of a little furball going on and was spotted immediately by Klingan at a range of over 1K away (outside effective gun range).
