My JU-88 has 4 gunners with 50% aircraft detection range yet don’t “detect” shit. I am shot down ridiculously fast while my gunners are nothing but placeholders. This perk needs to make it so when detected they fire at the enemy plane or be removed and something else put in its place similar to tank gunner. The A.I. is atrocious for my gunners in any plane. If a player can shoot me then my gunners should do the same to them.

You using perks? Visibility helps, they also have limited cof rember, mine are not the best but do work!

you should try the late il-2’s with 12mm gunners. sometimes one hit is enough to break a 109 in 2, it’s bonkers. (never tested the ju88 gunner)

I will give it a go. Just seems that they have a 3 second delay before firing if at all which is enough to blast up your ride.
Aye. Fully maxed each with detection of enemies
i noticed the same for the ju188. it should be MUCH more stronger with its 4 gunners.
other planes dont seem to have that problem, IL2s on br2 easily shred enemies. might be low sample size of weaker enemies in general, tho many people reported the JU188 looking like its gunners are nerfed.
Warthunder used to have potent gunners. People complained, now they are a manual option if you want something killed.
Enlisted gunners feel the same now. You gotta do it yourself.
They used to be good
ju188 had really good gunners for a time and it got nerfed hard when people complained. now if you want to get something killed you have manual option…
There was a time where they would 1 tap you at max range when you were coming in from a really weird angle and manoeuvring hard and it was a bit nonsensical
Nowadays i think they are a bit too much of a stormtrooper aim though
If its manual then all gunners in fov should fire similar to T28 forward guns not just 1 if multiple available
