One of the things which AH could do to balance out the game is to allow multiple guns, in bombers, to fire at a incoming aircraft. In the real world, if a "boogie" was approaching a bombers rear area from say, 7 O'clock high, the tail guns and the TOP turrets could fire at the aircraft as it approached. Only way you can do that now is to enlist the aid of a gunner, who you can instruct to get into the top turret and you in the tail position. That way, you can fire 6 sets of guns at the incoming target. As it is now, one person can only fire 3 sets of guns. This could be done very easy, just program the "tab" key to fire all guns which would bear on the targeted aircraft. That's why the B-17 was nicknamed "flying fortress", because all the guns in a bomber which would "bear" on an incoming aircraft, could fire at an incoming target. Of course I realize Aces High is trying to make the game "fair" for all, but why should a fighter have an advantage over a bomber?

Buh? Every gun that can see the con shoots if you 'fire all', not just the tail guns if you're in the tail gun, etc.
