Gunners won't fight or open chutes

Just got the full crew loaded into the ju 188 for axis Normandy. Gunners weren’t firing back at attacking planes nor did they open their chutes when we bailed out. Just kept free falling as I floated down. Gunner doesn’t open chute in bf 110 either. They used to at least. Any suggestions besides manually opening all their chutes?

Trying to make a lil cheesy paratroop squad in the same vein a tank crew becomes an assault squad when the machine gets damaged

Ok just played on Pc no issues.

Would suggest you look at your mapping of your controller?
On PC, it is space bar to open chute

Also on the gunners not shooting, check to see if squad is set to passive, need to be set to aggressive.
on Pc you would hold the Y button and then use Q to change the stance, ie wide/close formation,
And the E button, while also holding Y button, to change between, Passive to aggressive.

I think bomber crews have been tweaked recently.

Not long ago, when chasing an enemy plane with the Ju188 (this way you actually see what your crew does), gunners were targeting it pretty accurately, maybe even too much, even in deflection.

Then, apparently, air gunners aim has been SEVERELY toned down, since now in the same circumstances they don’t open fire unless within close range (I estimate <400m), and they spray all over even if the target is at dead 12 o’clock flying in a straight line. I don’t mean that there’s dispersion, the streams of bullets are just arbitrarily off target, except maybe a somewhat accurate burst out of 5-6.

This may perhaps be (kinda) fair for enemy fighters against the Ju188 that’s a bloody gunship, but if gunners on other planes work this way too, they don’t stand a chance to actually defend.

You mean nerfed, by the sound of it
Every fracking thing i work/pay for in this game, gets fracked over, this game is becoming a fracking joke.
