From reading this thread, I gather that with 2-seaters, the options are:
- Flying normally as the pilot, with a robot gunner who is fairly good at his job, or
- Being the gunner yourself, while at best being an easy straight-and-level target, and at worst falling out of the sky with nobody at the controls.
From my POV, the 2nd option smacks too much of the disastrous debut of the Brisfit under Leefe Robinson's command, and also of the Bolton-Paul Defiant. Neither of these examples inspires confidence. So I figure when I fly 2-seaters, I'll stay in the driver's seat
.
I'm looking forward to flying the good ol' Fighter, Experimental #2. I've always wanted to see how well having a pivoting gun could make up for a non-stellar turn rate
