Rick, I found it helps if you go to the observer seat and see what his field of fire is. I would swerve in the FE and the observer would not fire. I am thinking, "shoot the bloody thing, you idiot." Not until I put myself in his shoes did I realize I was taking him out of his field of fire. With that plane anyway it is very limited, but now I know if one is one my tail in that plane how to give the observer the best shot.
