Bomber hands and more gunner positions

I love using the bombers, but some have no animation for controlling the yoke (flight stick), it would be good if all attacker planes had this.

Also talk of multiple gunner seats, but still only one, I have to say interested to see how this will work on console (probably some modifier +button will have to be mapped and ensure it doesn’t clash)

I know you are busy working on content, but just a reminder that we would like our extra gunners and pilot animations too.

I have yet to be able to switch from my pilot to my gunner like one might in a Stuka. In practice mode the gunner is not even present so I cannot learn the technique like one might operating a multi seat tank. I have a gunner I cannot switch to for fending off attackers.

Hello there General, are you on console or pc?
Which ever is the case, if your Stuka squad has both a pilot and a gunner, they both should be present in practice.

Hi Warhead, I am in a Russian bomber with just 2/4 seats filled. I am on a PC using a gamepad. The gunner is listed as being in the 4th seat which must be the tail gunner position. This leaves the top turret and belly turret positions empty. My “switch seats” will not switch to him like in the aforementioned Stuka.

they cant change seat , every planes
wait the further

Suicideplume, I see from your video the player is definitely using gunners in a Bomber. However, I cannot translate the Japanese narration. Thanks for letting me know it is possible.

Sorry. I mainly deal with players in my own community.
I don’t know much about the Japanese community, but I know that in East Asia, in addition to the Chinese community, the Korean community is also very active.
I hope the Japanese community can be better.

You must be using the Sb-2m then.
I tried in practice, with only 1 pilot and 1 gunner, and I also cant switch to the tailgunner.
Tried the same situation with Ju-188, also cant switch to the tailgunner.
It does say “switch to seat”.
(both these planes can carry more than 1 gunner)
I’m not 100% sure but I do believe you should be able to use the tailgunner.
Apparently the game prefers that you have a more important forward gunner.
BTW switching to the tailgunner does work in planes that can have only 1 gunner.

BTW 2 devs are working on making all gunners in all planes controllable!

You can’t imagine how helpful your input was. Knowing you confirmed what I have been alleging helps me. I can concentrate elsewhere. I will however seek to get all seats filled. And I can stop handicapping a team by flying off into oblivion while I investigate what I thought I was not doing right. Thanks again.

No problem general, just upgrade your squad quickly, you really need those gunners!
And when the squad is full, you can control the tailgunner.
Good luck and have fun.

hmm, the ju-188 and the me-410 would benefit greatly from this
sidenote: i wish the ju-188 cockpit was better modelled. also the sb’s, including putting the camera to one side of the glass panels, not behind the middle bar.

maybe pe2-31,a-20.and others will benefit greatly in further

pe2-31 already has its main turret, and they made a shit job, it can only aim up
a-20 also has its main turret already (at least the attacker G, the soviet level bomber is just bad overall)

But I’m talking about the other gunner positions, or all gunner positions.
