Title: gunners
Post by: jolly22 on February 23, 2011, 12:01:59 PM
I wish we could have 1 gunner per bomber in a formation. Simple wish.... no need to expand.

I say its fine the way it is. I'd imagine it would be hard to tell whose tracers were whose with 3 sets streaming out of the buffs, not to mention running out of ammo before you could blink.

I dare to expand...

May have been asked for before, but I wish there was an icon of the gunner's handle in a corner of the host's screen. This would indicate wether or not your gunner is still with you in case the gunner is the unresponsive type. Also, I wish the host had the power to boot an uncooperative gunner that likes to waste bullets at targets 3k away.

seriously and its from experience.  its really hard to get one gunner in the game, unless you ask a squadie, trying to get two or 3 not likely.

+1 for this part of the expanded wish

Its the B29 that would bring the gunners in. A lot of people would love to be a gunner in the B29.

Not to mention the potential use it would see in Scenarios.

I hate to say this, but when HT wrote the coad so gunners could join in flight, and so pilots could man their own guns that limited the # of gunners possible.

Don't believe me, fine, go bug HT.

But it won't change at this point.
I've got a 12 pack of homebrew I'll bet on that.

I asked for gunners, there was no line of people waiting for it.

The problem on the B-29 is the gunners shared the guns. They could control one or multiple guns from their sighting position.
