What is view from the rear gunner and turrent positions going to be like? Will we get guns with more animation than IL-2? Seeing rounds in the gun and ammo belts move, shell casings flying everywhere?
I love being a gunner on a bomber and really looking forward to flying as a gunner online in Storm of War!

At the moment you can seen the grab handle to swing the gun housing round, but can't.

In one of the very early videos (i think you can find them in your IL2:1946 DVD) there is some footage of both of these. In one case you could see the ammunition belts moving. In another part of the video there was a rear gunner view from a Stuka and the gun position was rotating.
Mind you it was not ingame, just some animations in the 3d editor, but it was there from the beginning. I don't know if it will make the release (maybe it's too heavy on processing power, who knows?), but the ability to do it is obviously there. I'm guessing we'll see a lot of features like these get enabled in later patches during the life of the simulator, as the processing power of the average PC rises, just like we got options like water=3, etc in IL2.
