Its been like that for a while now, unless they made it more visible in a resent patch. Thing is sometimes you cant see the SB firing.

So how exactly is knowing who's in the SB not firing going to help anything? Do you think that somehow by showing their names they're going to all of the sudden start firing? Or do you want it so you can annoy and harass the guy? Just because you think the guy isn't firing doesn't mean he isn't. I cant tell you how many times Iv been in a SB firing at a fleet just to have some moron moaning and whining that someone is in the SB 'cheating' by not firing.
To repeat my self :It is very irritating when there is a player who just sits there without firing on the fleet.

quite often it doesn't have an angle.


even so, I have no problems with an icon showing who's in the gun.

If you can see there is a player that mess up your play by holding the SB out of use ( sitting there and do nothing )
You can film that and report him...
That was just a wish, and i think that I'm not the only one with that wish.....  :salute


( I have seen that happend before, and I'm sure some other players have too  :) )

So true, many times I have sat in a SB waiting for a CV to come within the firing angle of the SB.

This is not "reportable". As long as he isn't violating any TOS, insulting players and so on, everybody is free to do as he likes. If you report someone not using his weapon in a way you like, you could also report fighters for not killing that last town building or not shooting at the enemy on your six.

And yes, I too was accused of "keeping the SB out of action" a lot, when in fact I was just waiting for the enemy TG to get into my arc of fire.

And why don't the player who are in the SB respond when another player are asking who is in the SB?
One time, me and some other players was trying to defend a base, and the CV came in the range to the SB, there was someone in the SB, but on range channel just shows me and the other players who i was flying with. Still the SB was occupied... A Bug maybe?

Anyway...... i see what you are saying, but the only player that don't whant me to use the weapon in the way i like are in that SB. The reason is that, he don't want me to sink it.

Don't forget the ones in five inchers shooting at fighters furballing instead of those bombers coming in.

You would have to ask them. Most of the times I was in a SB and people were whining ''whos in the SB and why arent they killing the cv'' Id just ignore them.

If so, then it says  more about you than the other.

I know players have even ask on range vox and by text, but no answer.... If you really are using the SB, why don't answer when a player are asking? I don't think that is showing a teamspirit.... We can sit here and argue against each other, but there is no consensus.
And if you are sitting in the SB and do not answer a simple question : who is in the SB?
And to me, that question don't look much like a whining. The end
