not 100 percetn sure p layer, but i run three, if u every are in kaiser i am sure u have had issue with me a time or two it just takes up gun slots if u run 8 pilots. I choose 7 fps on my fw allowing me to have at least one gunner on board at all times. otherwise in my six, i might change setup to have 6 fps,3 seaman,two gunners and do quite well. current on km running 7/3
