Are bow gunner spots currently just turned off or what? Can a real player man the tanks bow gun?
you mean, hull machine guns?
if you mean hull machinegunes, the answer is no.
because those are just " dummy " machinegunes.
and unfortunally, as far i know, in order to make them usable, they have to be modeled which takes time, effort, and money.
not in darkflow priorities at the moment.

Yeah, hull guns, tanks adopted navel nomenclature while developing, they called them Landships at first, hence it being called the Bow gunner.
i apologize.
i’m not an expert about military stuff.
but yeah, as @5762269 said in one post, ( which it’s more than correct ), tanks were made almost more than 5 years ago for the other game where darkflow takes assets from, War thunder.
so it would be complicated to find the 3D makers of the model, and make the gun actually working.
unfortunally, neither in war thunder we had the chance to get hull mgs there, i hardly think we are gonna get them any time soon.
cheers.

The issue is that the gun model is tied to the model and the functionality of weapons for whatever dumb reason (see MG42 on battleships) cannot exist without a separate model. Otherwise we could have the functionality but just no turning MG.

This sucks I hope they can figure it out, I would love to have all my buddies in one tank, it would be hilarious and fun.
Haha, it spelled the same but pronounced differently.
In the U.S. Army they called them assistant drivers.
