Bailing from the gunner position.
« on: June 14, 2010, 04:48:05 AM »
I'd like to put in an old request to allow us buff pilots the ability to bail out of a mortally wounded bomber while in the gunners position. Lately I've lost alot of formations because of the time it takes to switch to the pilots seat, bail out, and then jump back into the gunners seat on the new plane and retrain the guns. It would really help if I could just bail out from the gunners position and then be transferred to either the pilots seat of the new aircraft or to the gunner position I was in on the new aircraft.

It will really suck bailing from the gunners position when you didn't mean to.
