It's a reasonable request, why do you feel the need to take the pi$$?

What's wrong with handing over to the AI on the bomb run?

The bombardier in a Heinkel also had the job of manning the nose-gun, navigating, and working as the engineer.

It would be interesting if these features could be modeled, but it would be hard to do. ("Hey AI, change heading to 340 degrees") It would probably be better on multi-crew coop.

I do agree that IL-2 does not provide enough material/ documentation on how to use bomb-sights. Be sure to check out Youtube videos, and if you want, we can have a 1 on 1 session for bombing practice.

Would be nice to see the bombsite in a update one week.

Yes, more info on the bombers/sights, especially the Br.20 I feel the bombers have really taken the backseat in most discussions. Grass, dots, weather whatever, please show us some info on AIRPLANES!

Reasonable? I think it is pathetic. I don't understand the need to take a great game like IL-2 with its great gameplay and turn it into a dumbed down AI monster for the sake of realism. It seems to be a common theme on this board. "The pilot couldn't jump to the gunner station in real life...the navigator didn't fly the plane in real life...the bombadier didn't shoot the guns in real life...etc." I keep my fingers crossed that the CoD developers ignore this stuff. Il-2 is a great game already. Let's keep it that way.
