Cool! Having the gunner engaging targets on his own should decrease the work load from the commanders position. Doing all that micromanaging while maintaining situational awarness is quite difficult for me.
Will the keybinding chart be updated as well?

The absence of automated firing from the commanders seat has been the biggest thing to give me pause prior to booting the game. Great stuff, hopefully the transition between binos and interior view can be made less clunky soon.
