I think I've gotten my sudden mission end issues sorted, time to actually fly now. I'm flying a DFW CV in Feb 1917, and my observer is extremely reluctant to shoot, which is very detrimental to my well-being. I understand that it won't work if I'm tossing and turning all over the sky, but the limits seem extremely strict, to the point where in three engagements with enemy Nieuports he hasn't fired once, even when I'm flying level as they approach to catch me before I maneuver to save myself.

Is there anything that can be done on this? I think I'm going to make all observers in my flight ace-skill with the mission editor, but outside of that I'm not sure what to do. Again, I know it's unrealistic to expect them to shoot if I'm banked at 90 degrees and turning hard, but even the slightest of shallow turns seems to make them not want to shoot when the enemy is bearing down on me.
