More Gunners in Bombers

[tallyho1]

Can we allow more than one person to join a bomber? Bombers are pretty easy game at the best of times, so more gunners would be more realistic and allow for better survival rates.

I had sort of wondered if it would be possible to allow all the gunner positions to be manned instead of just one guy jumping around too. They would need to implement a "exclusive" radio function or the chatter between them would clog the range channel.

 In my opinion it would make the buffs more vulnerable to fighters because all the guns would not fire in the same direction like they do now with the AI. I'm all for more gunners, I think I could get more buff kills that way:aok

Death Stars (a human gunner at every gunner position) rocked in AirWarrior, unfortunately HiTech has said that even though Death Stars were very cool in AirWarrior that we wont be seeing them here. /sigh

That would rock, why wont HT let us have them? If he goes for historicly accurate then gunners in every station deserve to be in the game, it would be a historical flaw without it and if HT is letting that get by he should let us have skins that wernt flown in combat.

And one pilot, one bomber. No gunners, no guns. Historically accurate.

heck actually it is easy to survive in bombers just gotta up with a fellow formation and stay tight now your deadly.  HEck it is easy for me to RTB with 2 or 3 kills.But then again you have to be a smart bomber pilot and actually touch the clouds instead of coming in at 2k alt and asking for fighter cover in a furball.

I liked multiple gunners in AW partly because it was like a roadtrip.  You would have a craft ful of people foing to the same place.  I would like to see multiple gunners in bombers.

Good point, and I would love having multiple gunners per plane, but also you really should check the date of the last post before replying to a thread

The only real problem is getting some one to sit back there & wait for something to happen. To often I have had some one join & they decide to go & say nothing. Not a lot of fun when the fighters show up & no one is shooting back at them.

Depends on what aircraft your talking about not all gun positions on some bombers had a man on each they in fact did have to bounce about to the best gun to shoot back with.

JU-88 had, 3 guns i think? 1 gunner for them all, had to bounce from the two up top and the ventral. In AH if you go into outside view you see a plane full of people, LOL.

While its a cool concept i find two flaws:

1. How the heck are you going to find enough people willing to fill all the gun positions?

2. would it not make more since to have all the people that where going to be in your guns up their own formation of bombers?
4 sets of bombers is WAY more deadly than 1 with 3 gunners

I personally don't like when the drones shoot anyway. If HTC could take that off, but keep all guns on your main plane that fire when you do, and have a possibility to have more gunners, I think we would be golden.

OR just make it so when you take off the drones, you can have as many gunners as you want.
