since when could bomber gunners get wounded?

[Oldman731]

Was flying a B-25H earlier tonight and got hit in the bellybutton by field acks which wounded my rear gunner.  I've never had this happen before, this something new?

Way back in AH1 I was attacking a B24 with my 202.  Killed his top turret gunner and his tail gunnerm (so he told me as the prolonged contest progressed), finally put him overweight with accumulated ordnance.  So it's been awhile that you can kill individual gunners.

Always been there on the B25-h.

It's the first time it's happened to me and I have hundreds upon hundreds of flights in the B-25H since it was introduced.  I'm chalking it up to "one out of a million" shot and don't expect it to happen again anytime soon.

Now that I think about it, it was a Lancaster, not a 24.

pretty sure in AW you could get shot out of your gun or killed in it

Years.  It does not happen often but I had it happen several times in the past
