Any chance that aircraft commanders can errrrr'bail' useless gunners? i.e. gunners that dont communicate or shoot on friendly aircraft or are just crap shots,its my aircraft after all,and if some twerp is gonna ruin the mission he's outta here!,so it would be nice to have a 'ditch the gunner' command :)

LOL! I have often wished for one of those - a sort of ejector seat the pilot can use to kick out a gunner. Once in an AW scenario I had this most obnoxious gunner, firing at friendlies as we sat on the runway and generally complaining all the time - times like that, nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see their rapid departure from my plane.... :)

and how about a "eject tard pilot" function too.
while i have my fair share of useless gunners, (which is why 99.9 % of the time i gun for myself) it seems almost every time i join a pilot as a gunner, he really has no concept of having said gunner
i mean the kind of anal birth who just as a con gets into gun range and you have a bead on him, the banana pilot tries to dogfight in some futile manner.
the result is total disorientation for the gunner, and ALWAYS immediate death (either from the con, or from ripped wings etc...)
then of course as you and the chromosomally abhorated pilot float to the ground you get the "you suck at gunning man" !
:mad: i want both the eject functions! (but just me though)

ROTFLMAO!
Loser that exact thing has happend to me. I've been a gunner before and I was even on roger wilco with the pilot. I'd tell him there's a con coming in so KEEP IT STEADY. That way I can line up. His response is "ok.."
So finally you see the enemy closing fast I'm all lined up on the bastage. Then "FLOOP" the damn pilot begins to bank. So you scream into the mic to keep it steady.."Ok..." I line up again but have a few engines smoking now. I hear in your ear "Shoot HIM!". I tell the pilot that he's too far out yet. You line up AGAIN just about have a shot open up your guns and you get some small pings. BOOM the pilot panics again and banks! The plane blows up and you are told that you "SUCK!"
Yeah been there, did that, got the T-shirt :D
