even in WT we only get the first person view for defensive guns only if there’s just one gunner seat and most of the time it’s the back turret
So it’s highly unlikely that DF will go the extra mile that WT didn’t, at best what we can expect is first person view on aircrafts like the bf 110, IL-2, JU-87, SBD, ME 410 and etc…
Talking about this mostly because of the JU-188 crazy amount of gunner seats, imagine the work needed to get them all function
If they used the WT model then you do not control 1 gunner - you control “the gunner(s)” - you aim, and then you fire every gun that can bear on that aiming point from all turrets.
Although it’s unlikely they will add it the framework is already there. A few months ago there was a bug that let you switch to a gunner and fire. During this you were also in full control of the plane, and flying facing backwards was suprisingly easy. This would cause problems for newer players, but it negates the issue of ai trying to fly or maintain altitude.
