standard bomber gunner positions

[flatiron1]

I would like to see the bomber gunner positions made standard between Lancs and the heavy/light American bombers. The way it is now heavy American bombers  # 2 is ball and Lancs # 2 is nose. B26, B25H and Ki-67 are all messed up.

I suggest
#2 nose
# 3 top
#4 tail
#5 ball

Thanks for any input and consideration.

Yeah, it would take some readjusting, but I wouldn't mind seeing a more standardized system.

I think the new player would find it very frustrating to hit keyboard number 7 or 8 to jump into the upper left gun on the Ju88, etc, but yes, I've wondered this myself. It's been a long time since I looked, but do we have enough keyboard keys for all the positions?

Agreed.

Yeah, I was definately thinking about new guys.  I think the old guys could and these new ones would have an easier way to learn positions.  Problems arise due to inconsistency in where the positions are at in certain planes.  However, those common positions on the big bombers would be helpful.

Of course HTC could make it so the player can set what key goes to what position.

Of course HTC could make it so the player can set what key goes to what position.

Would like that much more, be able to map individual positions to key

I occasionally still make the mistake of heading into the wrong gun position when not in the B-17. 


I think having to revamp so you could map keys for each bomber gun would be more of a pain to code vs just standardizing the system.
