I know this is completely impossible, but I would like to be able to enlist a pilot as an observer/gunner and then he would be assigned a pilot. The pilot would be AI of course, but gunner claims would be separate.

At the moment all my flights in Sopwith 1½ Strutters are as an observer looking out the back with my Lewis gun. I might have a kill, but I'm not sure as maybe the pilot got that one. I suppose if one were an observer they would have to stop the switch to the pilot seat or something like that. Sounds difficult from a programming point of view and as I am the only one who seems to do this I don't mind if it never happens. Just an idea...

But I'll give a try in the latest campaign as a Bristol F2b gunner - look it up - a few of those guys had high scores! No wonder the Krauts kept away from them. The best British aircraft of the war really.
