Turret/Gunner bugs
 

Will bugs related to turrets/gunners be addressed before BoM? At the very least, fix the bug where the gun jams/cannot fire while the plane is flying.

- Cannot fire gun while plane is flying (gun may shoot 2 bullets after 100 trigger presses). I think AI has the same problem, because it often does not shoot at enemy planes. This only happens when there are objects/aircraft around. Run a quick mission with 110's and enemy aircraft and try to control the rear gunner, it will not fire.

- Cannot move gun while firing

- AI is disabled after entering/leaving a gunner position

- Gun movement is choppy

- Cannot invert mouse axis/change mouse control

I've noticed the problem were you press the fire button and nothing happens .. only seems to happen when an enemy plane is close. This is not lack of ammo.

.

I would add another point: if you change positions in bombers, and later the "position" dies, you get KIA points, regardless of whether that you sitting in that position or the AI.
I made bugtracker: Crew members KIA was added to the human pilot statistics
(I made bugtracker feature ticket of gunner controls too (half year ago): Gunner unified controls)

Wish it was more like il2 46 like . As it is now i find it useless :rolleyes:

agreed

Much "realism" in gunner positions kills gameplay. Not fun at all... :(

We need more human gunners. Just move mouse and press mouse button, simple as IL-2 1946.

While your in the gunner position hit alt F2 and you will switch back to the cockpit...you will also see in net stats that you go from pilot/gunner back to just bf110. This has work for me on the Ju88 very well.

That's just a key conflict.

Change "Fire Current Weapon" in category "General" or "Hold to Offset Camera" in category "Camera" to another key and problem solved.

By default both are assigned to mouse left button, which causes the mouse to try to change camera offset instead of move the gun when you are firing.

A some minutes ago, in ATAG server, flying with Blenheim I go to gunner position
and after, in NET Stats, the crew status is show like this:

- Human player controlling pilot and gunner.

But after this I entered into a furball over Dunkirk and the AI gunner fire on a pursuing 109.
And get so me "pings". :)

Thanks for this tip. Now I can "spray" bullets. :)

This problem happens to me after initial fire, more critical in Bf-110 - maybe gun overheat?

don't agree at all.
