My wish only covers someone who would join, just like a gunner, during the mission or the whole thing if he would like, but then after he drops the bombs he could bail and do something else! My wish is strictly for the ability of the bombers to protect themselves over the target, just like they did in WW2. The pilots in the bombers in real world did not have to gun, calibrate and fly all at the same time, so why should we have to?
so you want to be the gunner yourself while somebody else drops the bombs. I figure the solution to your problem is already done.
1-join somebody as a gunner. that way he can drop bombs while you protect his plane.
2-or ask for a gunner then you drop the bombs yourself.
Earl this is one of those wishes where what you are asking is not really what you want like hitech has said many times. if you want the ability to have 2 gunners then ask for 2 gunners but dont try to hide it as asking for a bombardier while at the same time having a gunner and you as the pilot gunning also while the bombardier controls the plane.
because may I remind you that while on a drop the bombardier had control of the plane and not the pilot. unless your intention is for somebody to gun for you another to drop the bombs, while you sit in the pilot's seat and just look out the window as you have really nothing to do.
also have you thought about who should get the scoring points if you have a bombardier doing it for you? you didnt drop so you shouldnt get the perks, the bombardier should. same as the gunner getting the credit for the kills while you pilot the plane and get none.
