Bomber Gunner Position Standardization

[APDrone]

I just got wiped in B29s last night, primarily because I got lost figuring out where the gunner positions are.

Normally I fly B24s and B17s.  I'm used to their gunner positions.  5 Nose, 3 top, 2 ball, 4 tail..etc.

So when I up something else ( anything else, none of the other bombers use the same positions ) I'm at an immediate disadvantage and it's getting kinda expensive to get lost in a B29.
Sure.. I can take them up to 30k, but I'd rather be a bit lower so the guys can at least get to shoot at me.

I charted out the different positions ( tho it's probably cataloged somewhere ) and, c'mon.. this is nuts how the positions are assigned.



Can we at least make all the American bombers the same?

Or.. better yet.. let us map the gunner positions for each plane?

Pretty Please?

Either make it uniform or allow us to custom map the positions ourselves pretty please!

This is one of the best wishes I've seen in a very long time. Still it would end up with another group of text flat files in the settings , planes, or sights directory. Could be tested if Hitech wanted to open those positions to mapping by adding the gunner position text files to say the alpha and you bomber guys have to edit it in notepad and manually setup your positions. It would be something like a KMP file for gunner positions.

I wonder if a commander gunner mode could be done where you point your position at the oncoming fighter, pull the trigger, and the gun or guns covering that quadrant open up? Something like the B29 gun director but, you are out side of the bomber aiming through a ring. Bleeech, phooy, I already get Anny Oakly'd by tank commanders in the MA.

Don't you mean 999000?

Great wish that's often overlooked in favor of "it is what it is..."    (more likely it's a minor issue in the grand scheme of things, an annoynace none the less..)

I've had the same problem. Great wish!

My squad mate wished this same wish about a year ago and got hit by those that said no.  Hard to believe but true.  One said it could not be done, which was bs.  i wonder if they will show up again.

A big plus 1. 

If we got this wish F3 mode could be removed from bombers which might help some of the bizarre ACMs we see in bombers this last year.
