Ok so I was thinking about AHII this morning on the way to work, while swearing at the Ohio Dept of Trans for the B-17 sized pot holes. Anyway, I wasn't sure to post this in the wish list or not. Why is it that in bombers the pilot gets a pilot wound, the bombardier also gets a wound? Shouldn't be if the front gunner gets the wound the bombardier should then get the wound. Any thoughts on this gentlemen?

Our bombers have one man crews, so Pilot = gunners = bombadier.

Not true. Pilot wound does not equal gunner wound. Many a times I've had apilot wound and had to fly the plane from the front gunner position when the pilot blacks out.

If your pilot is hit, just jump in one of the gun positions, such as the front if some guy is coming in for the HO or in the tail if they are coming up on your 6. Not sure about the bombardier or not, I will check next time I am bleeding....

I was thinking mainly about blacking out in the bombsight due to pilot wound. I think it would be more reasonable if the nose gunner recieves wound then you can black out in the bombsite. Not that it happens a lot just thought it would add more realism to it.
