Problems with turrets

[Tiwatz]

Ok- straight to the point. The Ball turret in the B17G doesn't work, or at least cannot cover the bottom hemisphere of the plane like it should. The Dorsal turret doesn't rotate 360 degrees like it should either. Neither do the dorsal turrets on the Blenheim and and A20... will this be fixed so that we have realistic defensive gunnery coverage?

I hope will be fixed, like I hope we will see cockpits for A-20, H-111 and all the small bombers.

However , I am semi-OT but I noticed gunners cannot be killed, aren't you? I treid a training mission P-51 vs h-111 trying to kill only the dorsal gunner but he continued to fire...

yeah I noticed that too... the only crew that seem to be mortal are the pilots themselves.

If the B-17 had full turret coverage in the game it would make it 50x harder to kill it or even get near it. The devs have limited the turrets abilities to make the game more balanced.

if they simply made the gunners killable then they would need to screw up the planes.

Ok so your a master coder then? You know exactly how to code it so that there are gunners and they can die? Thought not. Dont make dispariging remarks about the devs when you cant do the job yourself. Its not exactly easy to model in that kind of thing. Plus it gives the game a huge balance issue when bomber gunner positions are no longer functional.
