SP!1. Waist Gunners.
The third crewman in the Pe-2 bomber, officially known as the gunner-radioman, was one of the busiest men in aviation history. In addition to manning the radio, he also had to man three separate defensive positions: the left waist gun, the right waist gun, and the bottom gun. Often he would be given only one gun, which he would need to move from socket to socket as threats shifted. In a few recorded cases, the gunners would open the top hatch, stand up, and fire the machine gun off-the-hip, Hollywood style.
Unfortunately, the Il-2 / FB / PF code was never intended for a single crewman alternating between firing positions. In Pe-2’s cause we would not be able to prevent the AI from, for example, firing the bottom gun while the player fired the left waist. Due to these limitations and in order to keep a level playing field, the waist gunner in all Pe-2s will always be controlled by AI.
The Pe-2 and Pe-3 are no different from other flyable bombers on all other respects.
