Controllable tail gunners!

Your pursuers in dogfights will not be happy, because in the upcoming major update you will be able to take control of some of your aircraft’s defensive weapons and take on those annoying fighter!

After switching to your gunner, you won’t lose control of the aircraft - it will continue to fly on the same course, but you can adjust it with ailerons, elevators, rudders, or by increasing or decreasing the throttle.

In this update, you’ll only be able to switch to your tail gunners - defending you against enemies from the rear of the aircraft. In the future, we plan to expand the choice of turrets you can switch to.

Don’t forget to add a gunner to your aircraft’s crew to try out this new feature!

Do AI tail gunners even work at the moment? I know it doesn’t work on the U2 and the Stuka, Can’t speak for the other aircraft.

Does the tail gunners perspective have advance cues? @James_Grove

OMG finally, Thanks DF, but hoping that all reported broken AI tailgunner work or if the new thing is now defend own plane, which I’m kind of ok with, with so long as my remapped airlerons, rudders dont conflict with new mappings for gunners.

Will remotely operated turrets have the camera stuck to the gun(s) or the gunner seat?

An example would be the Me 410. Same gunner controls several remotely-operated guns.

Where will the camera attach?

What about Gun targeting distance (m) and Vertical targeting?

In Enlisted ,we don’t have that!

Then our cannons and machine guns could not converge to a single point, making it difficult to effectively inflict maximum damage.

Remote turrets might come in the next major updates, not in this one.
