I've changed my opinion about 'Sniper' AI gunners since I started flying a few bomber missions and jumping to the back seat.
Despite controlling the aircraft with my right hand and the gun with the mouse in my left hand, I found it surprisingly consistant hitting attacking fighters as they attack at relatively shallow angles and slow closing speeds as they climb up to attack me from the rear.
And I'm not an expert and haven't been trained in arial gunnery
I think the old tailer gunner AI's need to be given a break, and pilots need to re-assess their tactics attacking bombers!
Cheers!
