Thanks a lot guys for all your prompt replies, I can see from the community here that me and my buds I am telling to look into this game will have a lot of fun!
Not having actually played this game yet, at least online, I cant speak too much on having multiple gunners, but, there was a reason why they put more then one manned gunners position on those bombers in the first place, and yes one of the main reasons was being attacked by multiple fighters, seems like the tight fighter groups out there should eat up bombers in thier current configuration for breakfast.
Hopefully in the future we will see the ability to have multiple gunners(especially on the b-17s!), till then I am just grateful to find this game, I have been missing this genre for a very long time!
Cya folks in the air!
