The ability to be able to share maps with squad members would be an EXCELLENT idea, especially for us bomber specialists. If flying with newbies it'd kill the "what are we flying, where from, what's our target/loadout/radiochannels" kind of stuff a great deal. Which is the main cause of grey hairs in Bomber unit CO's, trust me!
What would be even nicer would be the added ability to actually create maps that others can see whilst in the tower. A simple mapping tool. If the tool were still usable for oneself (but NOT sharable with othes) once airborne, then voila! You have a Navigators table.
Btw we NEED the ability to have at least 3 people flying as partof the same crew in bombers (if the bomber had at least 3 crew, of course),so that the jobs of pilot, gunner, navigator and bombardier can all be filled (bombardier job can be filled by pilot or navigator when required) by humans.
Also, barring radical alternatives to the current system (as per another thread elsewhere) we NEED AI gunnery so that bombers are NEVER unrealistically defenceless. If a human gunner is present they can override the AI, sure, but AI Otto would be far more realistic than what we currently have, IMO.
As for stuff like entertainment whilst waiting for missions, I'd like to be able to tune a radio station or two. I like not only those stirring military songs of the Wehrmacht and the good popular songs that instill cher in our troops,but also (don;t tell the guys in the black uniforms!) I'm quite partial to Allied "Shrage Musik" (jazz) too... ;-)
