When I join as a gunner I wait till the guy gets to alt near enemy territory then I use up all his ammo and I bail out   :salute
Yes you would...what a bone head.  :confused:

  Accepted a gunner once. Enemy on my tail and no guns shooting, could not get in guns myself as he was still there. Maybe he fell asleep? Won't have another gun for me until I can dump them out and they can ride the Chute home.  :eek:
I always wanted to fight an impossible battle against incredible odds.

I normally only gun for squaddies or people I have worked with before (ex-squaddies, friends, etc).  I will sometimes help someone out I don't know, but I have a thing about the pilot who asks for help and then jumps in the guns positions randomly, forcing me to fire from the drones. These morons get no notice when I leave.  These are the same people who try to fly the bomber like a fighter when you are trying to gun for them.

to the OP, yes. i like riding along bombers just for fun. but it really depends on who's the guy flying the bomber, if its a complete noob who cant bomb for crap or someone who was spamming the country channel for a gunner, ill empty the guns for them...:lol

If you join as a gunner do you stick it out?

How many who join as gunners stay with the flight, all the way to the end?

No matter how boring, do you stay with your Commander?

I never leave once I join...under any circumstance; its my bird too the moment I send the join request.

What say you?

 Will stay the entire way if needed.   What I do hate though is the new guy you try to be nice to. You join his plane as a gunner he then flys to 5K right into a furball and starts dog fighting in the buffs making it near impossible to shoot a damn thing and then squeaking at you for not shooting down the cons that ripped him a new one.  Then after ranting he asks if you want to do it again. lol   :bhead

Discerning bomber pilots screen their gunners...

Discerning gunners screen their commanders...

If the guy is flying a Lanc that is a Red Flag. If he flies from a forward base that is also a Red Flag

You can politely figure out the mettle of the bomber pilot by asking a few questions before joining up

The good bombers and good gunners tend to know each other...in fact they are typically both; good gunners are good bombers and vice versa

I love gunning as much as I love bombing; my old man gunned on 17G's in the war.

It is why I fly them, it is why I gun them

Oh I know Oneway lol.  I usually only have this issue when I'm in an exceptionally friendly mood and randomly decide to help someone. :P
