They already were sweetheart.

GB's are well balanced, snub killers. They get slain by any cap who knows what he's doing even a-little. Heck most average bomber pairs can take on average GB pilots.

Can someone please explain how to use turret zoom as a combat advantage? Thanks.

Is it just so you have a better view while turret steering or is there a benefit to how well you can aim?

Zoom all the way out and enjoy the fisheye autoaim. No skill needed. :crazy:

Totally lame and needs to be fixed.

Keep in mind, one single NPC will screw up you're aim like no other when zoomed out. It's also easily beaten by just fast boxing, all shots "auto-miss" then. Heck even a GB will beat another GB by just boxing if the other zooms out like that. Seen it, done it, know it.

Zoom is just a -new- way of fighting, people will learn it's just as beatable and adapt. All it adds is variety to combat style, not overpowered at all.

you could have gone more into detail. for example that it's nigh impossible for a GB to out-turn a bigger one which is using turret view and has some decent firing arcs and thus can simply overpower the weaker one.
