Quite ridiculous, also the mouse seems inverted for up down gun movement.
1. undock from cruise/firing position
2. assign keys for rail up/dn/lft/rgt < this needs something like right mouse click to move the ring/mount and left mouse click to fire, then all firing and movement controls are in one hand on the mouse
3 assign keys to move gun < ??
4. use mouse to move mg
5. left mouse to fire it
Remember you can't move the gun whilst firing it though !! gawd knows why ?? ~<<Problem fixed
The whole gunnery/turret thing needs reworking its too complicated and too slow to position your aim,
also the guns locked whilst firing so you cant track enemy aircraft in the sight.

Ermm.... think you can fire the gun whilst moving it and tracking enemy aircraft...
I too think turrets are too complicated... but I did find (on the Blenheim at least) that once you've undocked the gun from the cruise position if you use Shift F1 then your view is locked to the gunsight - so you can happily move the gun around the sky and fire at enemy aircraft. It's a bit like moving from Bombardier station to bombsight view.
My only problem is that I can't easily man the turret and fly the plane at the same time!
