Very nice gnat but what you mean with "real turrets"? !

I assume Gnat means he has got working the turrets on B17 to be moveable?

Thanks.
Yeh, turrets that are actually part of the B-17, not as they are in the current release as a bunch of separate models/gunners all ATTACHTO the main B17 unit.
The gunners will be lagit members of the crew. So many of the previous limitations around spawning as a gunner or moving around or MP lag or even just trying to get into a gun will be bypassed.

Great!! Thanks!....A small suggestion, would be cool have the bomber position with a sight... is that possible?

That is a nice suggestion, would be quite cool for MP

How did you manage that?

[PacUK]

I believe they (BI) added the ability for fixed wing aircraft to have turrets whereas before only ground vehicles and choppers could have them.

[Orcinus]

Amazing

@[APS]Gnat: is this just for MP, or could an SP player take a gunner role with an AI pilot?

Yep, working towards that.

Pretty much like any model/turret definition on any vehicle as it turns out.

Yes, they seem to have flicked a couple switches on in recent patches and it's a lot better, but AI still have some problems.

Plans include a ingame dialogue that allows you to select any seat on the aircraft. Hence in SP you'll swap seats with an AI

[Orcinus]

Thank you, that's excellent news. Lurking patiently for the release



PS: re bomb- aimer position, will the bomb aimer (if human, ofc) have the ability to instruct an AI pilot to go left / go right as per RL?

there will be a height stabilizer?
if yes
it will be possible at activated heights stabilizer to use the rudder
to make course corrections in the sight
