See war thunder rear gunner probably is the same

yeah was thinking that to but its the bot behavior im worried about :wink: Those buggers are lethal af, well sometimes not so guess its fair. Warthunder atleast has a system that you can train them in shooting with percentage involved to. But think they will prob start with same percentage chance for all here or something then the player has to do the rest if they want to go for accuracy

SoonTM

So wait… the bf110 has a listed crew of 2 but you only get the pilot. If you get another crewmember for it, doesn’t he take the role of the tailgunner?

no not as it is now. I have one in my Stuka plane but hes not there at all from what ive seen ^^ Nor does he level up. Would be neat if we both parachuted out and went on an adventure but have to wait on that i guess

The 110 has a tail gunner. Just not functional

When i saw the crewcount for it i imagined that the second crewman would be the tailgunner and usable, keeping other planes off my back, either by the AI shooting or by the AI flying the plane and myself shooting the tailgun. Good thing i didn’t waste any silvers orders for it.

When tail-gunners are added, we’ll have a pseudo paratrooper capability, just grab your attacker plane that has the most available seats for gunners and just jump out of the plane in battle.

Oh yeah, would be cool to have gunners active for sure.
That and the hull MGs on some tanks actually working…

They used to level up on early obt.

Had 5 soldiers or something like that on the blue squad plane in normandy axis, just to level up soldiers lmao.

I got exited there thinking it was an official post, I do hope we get these tail gunners soon though, sooner rather than later, plus nation specific mg nests and AA

Its an official post only made on 21 JUly 2021

Yes I remember @Keofox mentioning this in new update, I thought there was a new development in this regard.
