Need a gunner? Of course you do.
I'm handy in a pinch and deadly on your guns. Give me a Gatling and I'll make her spit hot death into your enemies hull. Hate engines? Let my mercury long shots do the talking. Need them in the dirt? Let me lumberjack the hell out of that balloon for you.
Now I know what your thinking...why would I take a gunner only when I could just take an engineer. Well my answer is this: Your face is stupid. Also my load-outs adjust for aim, bullet drop, ammo type and enemy vectoring. Pretty spiffy eh? And I'm pretty good at slapping around engines when needed.
( And if dire I can grab my tools but to reiterate I'm better as a dedicated gunner.)
Do I have a mic? Boy do I. I call out enemies and fire direction for the rest of the crew so the captain can focus on flying. It's a win win. So hit me up if your in the market for a gunner.
