I’ve played a few games today where I’ve had my heavy fighter shot down from the rear, but in all occurrences I did not hear the tail gunner engage. Initially I thought maybe the gunner got hit with the first burst, but then in subsequent encounters I took damage to the wing and engines rather than the fuselage and the gunner was still not engaging… Has anyone else experienced their gunner not firing on targets in arc ?
I’ve played games on the ground in the APC and the gunner fires autonomously without any issues as long as the target is within his very narrow arc and elevation limits. So I know that at least autonomous gunners work, but the air situation has me baffled.
