That's a very good attitude to have :)
Helmic:
It's not OT, it's fairly relevant to the discussion. The reload time gives you more than enough time to get at least one repair mallet in or two spanner whacks before heading back to your seat and either keeping your current ammo or switching to the other type, and you can often get more than that if your gun is at all damaged as the reload takes even longer than normal (just remember to repair it first before running off and remember it'll start to reload faster). I do it regularly without fail and it's a skill that I think all gunners should try to learn, the more pressure you take off your engineers the less likely they'll be coming to whack something just for the hull to spontaneously implode. If you're the only one on the bottom deck of a Galleon, in fact, you can shoot BOTH guns while having them loaded with special ammo at full HP and full reload speed by just running as soon as the firing animation ends.
Meneldour:
Well put, that's what I've been trying to say (did not have time to write it down completely though, can't slack that much at my job, heh)!

That is a little much to ask for some times. I don't go gunner class because I have so little faith in some of the crews I fly with. A good engineer can make up for a bad pilot or a bad gunner, a good pilot can make up for a bad gunner (point blank engagement FTW), but a good gunner needs a good pilot and a good engineer or else they are quite ineffective.
Shinkurex:
I actually disagree to the gunner needing both.... a good pilot and a good gunner can win with just the AI engies.... now it's more difficult granted, but still pretty effective
