Often the side gunners in my dropship will shoot themselves out of the seat with the missile turret. To keep them alive, I have to keep still

So the gunners are not allowed to shoot straight? seems to defeat the purpose of the Python then
leading shots is not the issue, when the gunners shoot in the direction of travel, they get creamed by their own guns

Dedicated gunners should be wearing MLT heavy frame for added protection Dedicated gunners should understand when to shoot, when to spam and when to not do either. The other day I snagged a kill on a swarmer while the dropship was in afterburner evasive mode. get good, quit dying
I will not "Get Good" or "Quit Dying" because I know that the missile should not hit the shooter.
It does not hit the side of the dropship (I know this because this happens in factional and the Ship will not take damage) but the missile actually hits the turret operator!? I have used my Python enough to know how to avoid it, but keeping still to allow the side gunner to shoot the Forge Gunner is not an acceptable option.

Trust me, I have had experience in the dropship missiles, and I have had experiences with the missiles such that although the problem does happen commonly when the vehicle is moving forward, if the ship is coasting to the side, the gunner on the side that you are coasting to can kill themselves as they shoot perpendicular to the ship.
its not the case of hitting the frame of the ship, but the missile spawning behind the gunner is the issue,

Keeping still is not a problem, but I should not HAVE to. the python should never be still, always on the move from target to target, always adjusting position to keep out of range from the relentless AV. If you do stay still, you die.

I don`t think it makes sense that its expected of noobberrys or players who chance a gun on a dropship to be ready and more so to have heavy gear, it shouldn`t be a requirement, dedicated gunners as in thoose who build a load-out should be at an advantage because that have what they need and more for a specific action thats as logical as roles in game, it shouldn`t require any but an anolog and a trigger to shoot, you should only die by getting shot out or shot down. It simply makes no sense not even if you clarify it for players like a tops in a loading screen. on the other hand inless its a quick fix I think other issues should be atteanded to since the bigger issues will cuase more harm to the game and this one would/should wait a while longer (its been here a long time) if such instances mentioned above are correct.
Oh my... The heavy is MLT, no skills require and minimal ISK required. The reason is not just the turret raping the gunner, but for more protection when engaged in prolonged combat(some scr users are good at dropping weak gunners). Saying a gunner should require nothing other than "an anolog and a trigger" is stupid. simple as. Compared to other issues Dust514 has this is a non issue, should be one of the last in line for fixes.
It has waited its fix for much longer than it should, since vehicles were given a massive overhaul, this has been a pressing issue for me at least. Its time it gets fixed.
