Because, it is very convenient when they talk , they say "attention figthers 11 o clock" for example, but when we set all the gunners position to to manuel mode, they do not talk anymore.
Thank you!
Gunners in IL2 don't do a good job of calling out attacking aircraft "in real time".

It's also difficult to distinguish between what your gunners are telling you vs. what other pilots are talking about. It can be easy to confuse location of enemy aircraft relative to your formation vs. relative to your plane.

Ideally, intercom communication would somehow be distinguished from radio traffic, if only in text.

e.g.,

[Red Two] Bandits 5 O'Clock [relative to squadron formation]

[Tailgunner] Bandits 4 O'Clock [relative to your airplane]
