Since a lot of people are talking about it... Here are my observations on AI gunner accuracy.
Things that need improving are:
- AI gunners not being affected by G-forces (hence those incredible shots even when the targeted plane is manouvering badly)
- AI gunners allways knowing where you are (they don't need to scan the horizon, and thus allways have a chance for a perfect firing solution)
- AI shooting blindly in the oposite direction of the attacker (not sure why, but to me it happenes allways in SBD's and IL2's)
- AI not taking friendly bombers flying nearby into account when firing (team kills)
- When there are more planes engaging a bomber equiped with more than one or two gunners (B-25 for example) - gunners often do not shoot at the attackers going for their bomber, but shoot on someone else (there is no prioritising of targets)
- AI gunner's visibility isn't effected by night
By itself, gunners aren't too acurate. It is a combination of these factors above that makes them unrealisticaly effective/ineffective.
I hope it helps if you decide on modding it.
