Yup, my wingman does it all the time. It's not so bad now when the enemy is armed. I let them have the first go. They swoop down shoot each other up and limp back home. That's when I step in an sweep whatever's left over. Usually by then the rear gunner is knocked out and the plane on its last leg.
It was a totally different story with BI's - pretty much a "race" to get there first and try to shoot the poor #%&*$# down before the rest gets its turn.

The connecting rod out of my brain, my brain,
From out of my arse take the camshaft,
And assemble the engine again."
