Consistently calling out advice like: Break [left/right]/Dive/Climb.
Giving position reports for hostile/unknown/friendlies when asked.
Ignoring bandits/bogies beyond a certain range, as well as bandits/bogies in the pilot's field of view, so you don't get repeated calls of "fighters, 12 o'clock" for a formation of fighters miles away and miles above which aren't likely to be part of any combat.

Absolutely agree. With some rough distance, as " far away" or panick call "very close!".
But hey, I still need this navigator cockpit for Beau. At least in order not to feel lonely during long flights over Pacific or Med waters.
