Gunner bug
« on: September 01, 2007, 11:21:07 PM »
I was extremely frustrated with the new gun bug I encountered Friday night. Guns were only present in one of the formations planes. If I jumped from the lead plane I had no guns. If the pilot jumped to guns, causing me to jump to a drone, then I had no guns.  This image displays the lack of available guns in a drone. I have not logged system specs since several other people had the same issue. I will be happy to provide any information that would lrad to a resolution.

I  was flying the B-24 and tryed to go to guns with a gunner on. Would not let me gun. Also my gunner only had ammo in #1 plane. Nothing in the drones. If I don't have a gunner onboard the guns show ammo in all the positions.

I just got blown out of the sky cause mt B-24 guns would fire. I acepted a gunner and things started going wrong right after that. He got kicked out, his guns wouldnt shoot, when I jumped back my ammo was showing all zeros and I couldnt shoot. The guns are fireing on their own. This happened during the 484'th run tonight in the orange room and it happened to a lot of us. Thank you.

Yup...after hearing of the problem during  484 bomb run today I had a friend of mine and myself try it out. What a mess. If I invited a gunner and I accept, he can gun, but no ammo count. When I tried to go to the same position, he got bounced...then the gun wouldn't work for me unless I went back to the flight controls and went back. We switched drones and no guns at all. When he left, then they worked. Weird. They gotta get this fixed before October me thinks!! :rolleyes:
