Damage is determined by weapon, not AI gunner.

Are you saying that if you reduce the .50"s on a B-17 then all .50"s in-game will have reduced damage? I was hoping it could go plane-by-plane...

Yes, but even if you individualized the weapons for each plane, how would you feel to be a human player forced to use the nerfed .50s? The solution here is simple: improve tactics or reduce bomber AI skill.

Good point about human player. I guess tactics are the way to go, which is the case anyhow. One way is to make all level-bomber AI "rookie" since the gunners are still very accurate, and it doesn't affect their bombing runs.
