flying/gunning in bombers

[thesunaside]

hi, i'm new to aces high and i've been playing offline to get a feel and all. i love b17's but i have found something im not sure about. when switching to a gunner seat it seems nobody is flying the plane at all. is this just an offline thing? is there a whole squad of players aboard while playing online? im sorry if this is a dumb question. but trying ms combat flight sim 3 the pilot takes over while i man a gun seat.

If you are flying your plane alone, the bomber goes to auto-pilot when you jump in the guns. However, you are allowed to have one person join your crew as a gunner( or you can join someone else buff as a gunner), but only one extra person can join. You can also join in a fighter as a "ride along" to see how that person fights in a fighter.

Also, in case you don't know, when alone and in a gun position shooting at an enemy,if you push the n key it fires all guns that have a sight on the enemy at once.

If you are using a joystick, the main trigger should be mapped to "file all guns" and will do the same thing as well.  But it never hurts to know the keystrokes though Sunka

Also, when in a gunner-position, you can use your rudder to turn the bomber.
You can't make any altitude corrections though.

This doesn't work when you have joined someone else's bomber.
