I have asked about this several times over the years, and when BoB was announced, I asked if this would be a feature. I didn't think it would be that difficult to implement.
I do remember Oleg saying something about the guncam option for BoB, stating that some planes had gun cameras and others did not, meaning that if he implemented the guncam feature, not all aircraft could use it. It makes perfect sense given the detail Oleg gives to historical accuracy.
You know that if he does the guncam feature, he will place the guncam in the correct position for each aircraft, giving you the proper perspective during the playback. He didn't say if it would be black and white and all scratchy either, which would be nice. Will the guncam run out of film? Some planes had a gage in the c0ckpit, showing how many feet of film were left on the guncamera. I am sure that Oleg is taking all of this into consideration. This and many other things are probably why each aircraft takes so long to make.
