No point and VERY confusing!
they have a rear gun but it cant be fired by the player - pointless listing they have ammo? took me ages to figure it out - please change it
…
It CAN be fired by the player…

It can be fired You must switch to the rear gunner, But to do that you must have a second person assigned to that squad.
In my honest opinion the B5N2 needs to be dropped from BR3 to BR2. Specifically because the rear gun is its only weapon other than bombs not to mention it’s extremely slow. It’s only redeeming quality is it’s fast turn time.

I have two crew - I must be missing something but I think it’s far too complicated.
BTW I watched a YouTube video that said it can’t be fired - so you figured something out that many of us cannot 
Look at Control option — Plane — Change set in vehicle. I remember it’s not working at first and have to set a key bind myself.
it should highlight that these guns are for self defense not for offense.
Oh, you mean I have to change seats? I thought the second crew member would fire. anyway it’ not well thought out imho
maybe you should take a look how old the video was!
meanwhile you can switch on the same way like you switch through your infantry squad.
no, you can’t change seats. you need fo research that you can take a second soldier into the plane + buy that soldier + put him in the plane
once you did, you can switch on him. standard switch is Z
He will fire, but as with every AI in the game, results are mixed. If you want to improve his target acquisition, you should invest into vision range and cone perks, makes him detect enemies better, but preferably, if you’re able to, you should shoot yourself. Also, make sure you don’t have double bindings on seat change with something else, otherwise you won’t be able to switch.
