Remove gunner view in simulator

I think the ability to manually control gunners in sim should just be removed entirely. It should be managed by the computer gunner crew. Make sure they’re not too good, but make them competent.

So you want to lower the skill setting from Normal to Baby Mode.
I see…

Maybe do what real-life fighters did against bombers:
Quick passes to avoid the gunners of bombers, aiming for engines & cockpits.

How about a group of players in 1 bomber? It will be nice. Each crew represents 1 bomber. More realistic.

Would be better if player could control only 1 turrent instead every one with the first person view instead of 3rd person that can put bomber pilot and figher pilot on even ground.

Someone start shoot you from 900mt of distance and hope that 1 bullet kill the pilot or the engine. And someone do it.
It’s when i close the game.
It’s not realistic, but stupid. More in simulation.

Just head-on bombers. A lot of them are helpless head-on.

Turns out slotting in behind tail, dorsal, and ventral turrerts shooting that highly angled rear of the fuselage isn’t the most effective strategy

This isn’t relevant to the topic.

surprise surprise, when you use irl tactics, bombers DIE

Ah yes, remove the only real required player input. At that point you’re just playing euro truck sim in the air.

This isn’t a discussion for tactics or strategies. If you or the other person want to discuss that, you’re welcome to make another post. This is about removing the PC gunner view.

OR or… how about no? maybe having it in first person but removing it? no

How do you propose people do that on a Ground Sim battle, where you’re already constrained into a tiny postage stamp and hemmed in by both player SPAA and the airfield AA that starts firing at you as soon as you go over 10,000ft?

Be reasonable.
