Perhaps it's a sign of my age, but I seem to recall howls of protest about RB2's rear gunners which caused them to dumb them down quite a bit to the level they are currently at. However, it seems that new sims consistently start with flexible gunners so fierce that they are more on the offensive than the fighter pilots which, of course, generates screams of outrage, after which they are dumbed down in later patches.

Does anyone have statistics that might shed some light on the relative effectiveness of flexible gun aircraft vs fixed gun fighters in destroying aircraft?
