You must be joking!

I'd rather I not know and treat it like sex before marriage. Just assume everyone has a STD (a gunner) and plan accordingly.

Best reply in the whole thread lol  :rofl

oneway it depends on who you are gunning for.  there's some guys that i have bailed 1 minute after joining because they were total buttonholes.  then there's others that will just talk and bs so it makes it funny just to fly along.  I once flew with walleye for over 2 hours on a 1/2 an hour mission.  he and I talked and talked till he ran out of fuel and we hadnt bombed anything, but it was just a fun time.  that's what makes it worth staying all the bs and crap that makes the time go by faster, that's why when i gunned for you the other day I stayed, it was just too much fun to bail out :).

Stick what out?  :huh You're supposed to keep all body parts zipped and inside the aircraft while it's in motion! :bolt:

As for the OP's question: I do not bail.

I've had several join me in my bomber then fret at there being no gunner positions. Most of them then bail on me.

I think DM must have been my gunner a couple of times. On a serious note I treat gunner requests just like hitch hikers, I don't put on gunners I don't know. Most of them are new to the game and waste too much ammo.

I stay until the end but that is only a few seconds since I would only send a join request if Stang was trying to land or was in the midle of a fight.  HT ruined the fun by making giving the option to send requests to the text buffer but don;t tell Stang.  He does not know how to do it  :D

Im more then happy to gun for someone but cant stand when someone asks for a gunner and he's still 2 sectors away from any enemy, climbing, and asks for one with no need. I got btter things to do for an hour besides sitting in a gun position for a total stranger who had no business asking for one yet in the first place.
