I remember talk of wanting this feature...but guys-- I think we already have it. Using the beta 10 patch, I have a mission with 4 B-17's on the ground. Just for kicks, I started shooting at the top turret and the ball turret...then when I went to jump in those positions in the plane, there was red and I couldn't take control. Other positions were mannable, but not the ones I shot up. Same goes for the Ju-88.

Now-- I am not certain whether the AI is still capable of using the guns, but I know I couldn't. If the AI still can use it- then I imagine it is something hard-coded...but it was cool nonetheless to find out

Umm....I was wondering if someone else could test this out for me and see if it's also true for them?

Jeeves,
Just grabbed a B17 gunner position in a mission called Sitting Ducks where 4 B17's are lined up and sure enough--I fired from one B17 towards another and shot the fire out of a ball turret on the other B17--then went over there and hopped in to that ball turret and the gunner was dead alright--red screen of death!

I did the same thing, shot the ball turret gunner and no other was effected.

Yeah, I get this all the time. It does seem a little too easy to kill them, but I don't care, I like this feature!

Maury, maybe this makes us even cause that AI gunner sure finds it easy as hell to kill us too! LOL
