Why does everyone hate Gunners?

I'm honestly surprised that some people care achieves enough to refuse to listen to their captain and bring that one wrong ammo, no fire control, or even repair tools sometimes. You can level up normally now dammit!
Omniraptor:
What's more, winning matches is like 20x more efficient than grinding achievements if you want to level up asap
Teh Celery's:
I read a few of the comments here, but I will post my own reply to the original post.
People who "hate" gunners do so because they have absolutely no frakking idea how to use them.
A good gunner, with the right rounds goes a very long way, on pretty much ANY ship, with ANY loadout.
Read Geo's post on page 1 for a really good description.
To reiterate,
Only the boring ships require 3 engineers (with the exception of the Mobula, but even that is up for debate...)
SirNotlag:
I find the mobula is the only ship I run where I want 3 engineers to overcome how hard it is to repair, all other ships I want a gunner because they add versatility provided they take the right rounds.

because
* Start out as an Engineer:
Learn what the ship can sustain
Learn to identify incoming damage types by sound
Notice what kind and how much damage which pilot tool does
Learn how to quickly and efficiently shoot while still being on constant repair rounds
* Become a Gunner:
Learn the different guns and what damage they do, where to aim at them, and how to time them right
Learn the different gun arcs!
Learn ammo types: range, damage, clip size and finally, what gun they do what on!
Use and utilize your engineering skills to NOTICE WHEN YOUR GUN IS DAMAGED AND REPAIR IT YOURSELF
* Become a Pilot
Learn what pilot tools do and how they feel, what difference they make
Learn what pilot tool is the one that helps you the most on each ship
Try interesting load outs with your knowledge as a gunner and test your ability to pull them off
Learn the maps and figure out different strategies with different ships, and different ally ships
Learn to communicate with your co-pilot, and learn to adapt to their possibly poor choices
Learn how to be a captain: explain and share your knowledge with newer players and tell your crew what you plan to do or achieve in this match!
* NOW GO BACK ALL THESE STEPS AND DO ALL THESE JOBS AS AN ENGINEER WITH SIMPLY ONE TOOL TO MAKE YOUR JOB EASIER AND BUFF AND TANK LIKE A BOSS
