The question has been asked and the concern is there hopefully that is not the case.

I would also like to see Anton comment on this.

I'm pretty sure that during the demonstration the other morning that he mentioned that gunners are 3rd person only. Check the video about 1/3 of the way through at the IL-2 mission.

Just watched the video again and I didn't hear him say it was 3rd person only, they only thing he said is that "you can switch to rear gunner view". So we will have to wait.

I'm not so sure abput this either. That's why I suggested it.

Looking back, I found in one of my older threads that someone asked if the weapon's turret was visible and the answer was no.

Scroll to the bottem and someone said that Anton said this feature was not going to be BoP.

If that is true that is a bummer there's nothing like being right behind the gun while you shoot it.

Yes, it is unfortunate. Hopefully they will be able to make this feature possible in a DLC.

Hmm, sorry, I don't know where I got that then? I could swear I remember hearing that somewhere.

It would be fun if you could have more than one person in one aircraft (one piloting others at gun positions) I doubt this is possible on a console game though. We used to do it when I played Warbirds online years ago, it was fun to have 7 guys in a b24 chatting it up on the way to a target.

They wont comunicate until the game is out, might well be.
What about german cockpit gunner positions? (HE111 nose gondola?) am I allowed to mention these sir?

Horrido

At this point, only Oleg can meet or come close to meeting all your expectations when BOB for the PC is out. I expect to be blown away when it finally is released (like when IL2 was).

It's clear to me that some compromises had to be made for this console version of IL2. The console companies are still stupidly focused on distinguishing consoles from computers when they should be expanding what consoles can do. This impacts our control options (officially licensed control crap limits our options), unlike the PC where just about anything goes.

Still, I'll be picking up BOP for PS3. It should provide a distraction until BOB is released.

Anton said it could be possible in a sequel.
