Turret Gunners Hesitating

[Tavingon]

Why do turret gunners not always fire even when there is a blatant target for them to shoot at?

I havent taken control of the gunners, hell I havent even worked out how to! I was just wondering why sometimes they dont fire when theres a target right behind close

If you are playing online, then check your Net Stats, it will show you being in multiple positions, i.e. Pilot, Tail gunner. My only solution so far is to not ever use the gunner positions.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is why when I fly the JU-88 I get massacered...

I wish my gunners were this aggressive

Yeah, I've seen that .. seems to be random when they fire.

A defiant gunner will fire when upside down yet won't when right side up and watching a enemy fighter climbing right infront of him!

Gunners need to be more aggressive, I dont need them shooting at everything on the ground, Just take more shots at airborne targets. I tried IL2 1946 at the weekend (loved it) first thing I noticed gunners were relentless in filling the sky in hot lead. In CLOD they seem scared senseless!

but not too much either

you will not smile when your gunner will shoot your tail

I can see why the blenhiem pilot hesitates, he's confused by his gunnery controls!

Gunners need to be as viscious as the ones in 1946
