I know this has been posted already but how about the advent of maybe having 2-3 gunners on bombers vs only 1. There isn't any thing more annoying than when you are in f6 mode and your gunner is defending from 1 point and another plane comes from the opposite way and shoots you down... just a thought.

That or being able to take over gunner positions that your gunner is currently not manning. :aok

Yes, I think its wierd that we don't have this actually.

If you knew this wish has been posted already, then you should also know the reasons why we don't have multiple gunners on bombers. If you don't, then the Search feature is a wonderful little tool that you can use to find the answer.

beating dead horse, but I do agree about buffs should have more one gunner.
-
I'm ok with it, as long as they eliminate formations.

You could have multiple gunners in HT's Warbirds 10 years ago.

I'd be all for it as long as there were no more drone formations and no slaved guns.

You could in AW too 12-13 years ago but there were no drones, the pilot couldn't gun his own plane and there were no slaved guns. If you wanted a fully armed B-17 you took off with a pilot and 6 gunners taking 7 guys out of the game to arm one death star (so called for their ability to fly through furballs tearing everything up).

Yep, but they were also prone to warping and lagging. Which is why we don't have deathstars in this game.

You can.

Ahhh. Haven't played online in a long time. I guess you can tell. :P
-
You can.
But they can't be on the same plane. For example, the pilot can jump on the guns on the plane he's flying but the gunner can't jump to the pilots plane so they can man two guns.

I don't let people gun for me.

You also had Sgt Otto sitting in the back with his laser beams of death. I prefer 1 gunner, thanks. :D

I'd go for 1 gunner and pilot. Otherwise, the "slave" system works well enough.

Yeah, I think the otto whines were even better than the whines I've seen in AH. From what I can remember, however, a skilled gunner here in AH is a better shot than otto. Everything changed when otto was limited to firing short bursts instead of holding the trigger down and could no longer fire under g forces of ~2.5-3.

I can still remember Otto the tail gunner position on a B-25J PKing me from 1.5K out and about 1,000' down with a single hit. Right through the forehead in a 109G6R6 in the WWII arena.
There were many gunners in the game better than Otto (anyone remember MitchH?) but nobody had his magical ability to PK you or rip you in half with the first round.
