Well, maybe so that in the future we can have variations of multi-role aircraft with a single flyable slot: change between a glass nose or a gun nose for Ju88s and mosquitoes, or remove guns to save weight if flying a high altitude reconnaissance mission, etc.

In any case, just make sure your gunner has both a gun and bullets to fire

2) There is indeed a mismatch between the fuel selector switch positions in the 110 cockpit, the info window messages (the "secondary controls" information which on default settings appears in blue text on the right-hand side of the screen) and the actual tanks. Tanks and fuel gauges correspond correctly to each other, but the info window information doesn't.

As a short term workaround, ignore the interface text and look at the actual cockpit control, it's a two-piece lever. It seems the forward part of the lever is for the forward tanks and the rearward part of it is for the rear tanks.

So, to select the front left tank, click on it or press the buttons you mapped to it until you see the rearward part of the lever centered and the forward part of the lever pointing left.

If you want to select the rear starboard tank, change it so that the front part of the lever is centered and the rear part points to the right.

I haven't flown the 110 much since the last patch so this is directly from memory and might be a bit inaccurate, but that's the general idea.

Hope it helps.
Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post.

I tested last night with full ammo load for my TG. I manually operate the weapon fine, but when running for my life from a Spitfire and turning the TG over to AI nothing happens except for the fact that my TG does track the target he just won't shoot. I fly without ammo now to save weight since it is a non functioning position. I have not gotten the weapon to disappear but the ammo stored under the fuselage does disappear. If he ain't gonna shoot I'd rather just leae my TG and his equipment behind and save the weight.

If you look closely you will see that the tank selector switch is incorrect. Forward most switch by default it front left tank. One click is supposed to be front right tank but it is not. Two clicks is supposed to be back left tank but it is actually front right according to the fuel gauge. So the fuel selector switch does not correspond accurately to the fuel gauge. This is very difficult to explain without visual so I will see what I can do. But if you run out of fuel and expect to switch to the front right tank by putting the fuel selector switch to the front right position then you will be unpleasantly surprised.
