Why is my rear gunner facing forward when I switch to him

I have noticed today that my rear gunner in Su-2 is ALWAYS facing forward when I switch to him to fight off an enemy fighter? WTF? I don’t need him watching where were going, I need him there to shoot enemy aircraft, and it takes several seconds to turn the SOB around, find the enemy aircraft and fire. I was shot down twice without ever getting to fire at the enemy because my idiot BOT riding shotgun was to stupid to do his job, protect the rear of the plane.

I guess I should not be surprised, every time I have to bail out the first weapon my pilot chooses once he lands in enemy territory is an AP mine. :rofl: This is two different times I had switched, but EVERY time the idiot was facing forward and not protecting the tail.


This happens to me sometimes (not often) AI will look forwards too, in certain turrets, there is a control called reset look direction, bind that sorted no more issues.
