In my gaming club, we modified the observer rules to make them more realistic. Maybe the webmasters here would like to try it? My club ruled that observers could only fire their MG (or MGs) if the pilot of the plane performed a non-restricted straight maneuver.
You should have written "In my gaming club, I allow observers only to fire while flying straight because I ran the campaign". I have never, ever agreed with you that observers can only shoot when flying straight. Since you run the BM miniatures games, we abide by your house rules. But please do not infer that CMH has voted upon, or in any way offically sanctioned, the silly notion that a rear gunner would refuse to pull the trigger at an oncoming attacker because the wings are not level. I have shown you photos of German pilots training to shot while turning, and you still refuse to accept that it is possible shoot in a turn. I would agree that if the shooter is turning that it would always count as deflection.
The reason the 2-seaters are too powerful now is that it seems that the minus for flexible gun is not incorporated. The Brisfit is way too powerful because it is given 2 observer guns on a Stability A platform.
As far as your statement "If they were truely that good in real life (history) they would have been the primary fighter instead of the one seaters we all have come to know and luv", Please read the history: The squadron with the most enemy aircraft destroyed was a RFC squadron of Brisfits.
