NOTE: When you jump out of the Gunner's Position (such as to the Commander's Position or External View), the AI gunner will always remember to lower the launcher. If you receive launcher damage from moving, then only the human gunner is to be blamed. It is generally a good habit to always press '''SHIFT + Z''' before moving, when in the Gunner's Position.
