Can you have more than one player in a bomber? i.e. one pilot and one gunner.

thanks

Yes  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
If you want to let someone gun for you all they have to do is bring up the radio buffer with
/
then type
.join <handle>    <--- substitute the handle wanted here

voila they are in.
NOTE: Only the gunner can gun. The pilot is the bomber.  Also they cannot unjoin until the plane is on the ground and the pilot is in the tower.  To unjoin get the radio buffer up
/
then
.unjoin <handle>

voila solo pilots again  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
NOTE 2:  All commands HAVE to have the dot (.) in front of them! ;p

Sorry to make stupid questions in old topic, but didn't want to start new one.

So, the question is: Is there a way to make gunners to shoot? I've noticed not one single gunner shoots when con approaches. Same thing w/ tail gunners of Bf110 and Me410. If I don't jump into a gunner position, nothing happens and in a middle of a bomb run, I'm either sitting duck or cannot aim bombs.

Guns only shoot if they are manned. So either you must man them, or one other player could join your formation and gun for you.

And the .showjoin command controls whether you get the join request as a popup or in the text buffer.
It’s good etiquette to ask before you join someone as the popup can be intrusive and distracting.

Those join requests appear straight overhead if you are in VR and are easily missed or delayed imo
