I unlocked my second pilot for my Ju87 today but noticed there was no way to switch to the tail gunner. Am i missing something or is this not in the game properly yet?
They’re automated only, and they shoot even less often than in war thunder.
I don’t know if there’s a plan to control them or not.

Pretty sure they were deactivated for now because they’d just laser people out of the sky, unlike what mister constant hot take above said.
The only way to implement them fairly is 0 automation 100% player controlled tail gunners.

I’ve been shot by them before, so unless it was a recent update that changed them, they’re functional.
Last time I played a couple days ago the stuka had no tail gunner, if they readded it fuck that
Last time I got shot by one was a few major updates back.
Honestly it could still be like War Thunder where gunner AI is so nerfed that they never shoot unless they get a clear line of sight for 20 seconds straight.
Perhaps it could have been improved already, but before Normandy, pilot population was extremely low (and there we go again… flying with a blind pilot is not fun, nor influential on battle outcome), and even less people even bothered to provide feedback on them.
I never actually noticed tail gunners doing anything at all (like ever).
I’ve been shot at by Stuka tail gunners in Moscow - I considered it a normal occurrence not worth noting.
But haven’t played planes there for over a month so it might have changed.

I was really hoping I could jump back there as I ascended to the ammo restock zone so I could survey the battlefield looking for cannon fire and also enemy planes
