Pyramidion Role Reversal
Keon:
Aww, and I thought this was something about using flack-gat on the bottom deck and dual howitzers on top.
Yeah, I use a engineer on the flack for starters, unless they can't hit with it, and then I ask them to trade guns.
HamsterIV:
Oddly enough I tried swapping my config from flack right to flack left this weekend and had a great deal of success with it. Some times the engineer takes too long to whack the balloon during a reload cycle and looses choice ammo. So I find it preferable to let the gunner work the chain gun since they can keep optimal ammo in it at all times, also the flack works pretty well with standard ammo.
There is a slight problem with this build however, and it is called "powder monkey." I have flown with some great gunners in my day, but for the most of the time I get stuck with some paste eating new guy who needs thinks all weapons are hit scan, doesn't know how to swap ammo, and wont listen to me unless I am standing in front of him jumping up and down. In that case I entrust the chain gun to the Gungineer and let the new guy amuse hims self with the gun that goes bang.

The solution to the Powder Monkey problem is dual-Gatling on the upper mounts, and Impact Bumpers.
Edit. And for forget to scream into the mic, "For gawds sake get down from their, we're about to ram, you'll be ki-lled!!!"
(and I've also had occasional success telling Powder Monkeys that I'm about to disable the gun their on via the "Captain's control board" to transfer more power to -the gun I want them to be on-. But it only works once. Or twice.).
Chango:
Most Cogs team run in this form.

Get your engineer to say it, that way it sounds like it's part of his job. "MrZawesomzFaceNub53, I'm transferring all steam to the front gun, you need to be on it, your old gun is going to shut down."
