In AW my squad and some vets I knew would fill a B17 when we got bored. Then we would sneak over to an enemy field and roar down the runway at say 100ft or however low our pilot felt that night. We would kill everyone sitting on the ground, climb up and orbit the field waiting to orbit vulch everyone climbing up to get us. We only made it home once but, it cost them dearly each time. And one time we ran into an enemy B17 heading to our field to do the same thing. So we dueled B17's with full manned gun positions, it was a slow death by 1000 cuts between two spastic whales.
Hitech could always impose one pilot one gunner for formations allowing a full roster for a single bomber. Man you could depopulate a whole country for a 49er's bomber mission just to have all the gunner positions filled.
Dude, there are no planes in the rook country and a full roster, and no ENY. Don't worry about it, means we can capture rook bases all night. The 49er's convinced those fools to be gunners again...
