After all of these years of playing CFS2, something that I just noticed: The AI when piloting a TBD-1 Devastator won't shoot the tail gunner at me. If I'm in front of them, their front guns shoot at my aircraft. But, if I'm tailing them, they don't fire at me at all.
I tried it in Quick Combat (me in a Zero, behind 8 TBD-1 Devastators), as well as an AI anti-ship mission (with enemy TBD-1 Devastators bombing a carrier), but had the same results. BTW, I have a separate converted AI TBD-1 Devastator that is player flyable, and it indeed has a shootable tail gun that I can shoot, so I know that the stock aircraft has a tail gun.
Is this a bug that I've never noticed in the game before, or am I missing something here?
