Ok, I finally made it up to 4333 Imperial and I loaded up an Aggressor and launched into space with a buddy. There is a turret in the back like the Y-wing, but unlike the Y-wing, I could only fire backwards. Regardless of whether I was shooting or my buddy was, his and my blaster bolts came out of the rear turret. I tried playing with the gun configuration and cyclng through the weapons, but nothing worked. I had both weapon slots filled so that wasn't the problem.
Anyone flying an aggressor now or flew one in beta and can tell me if this is right. Does an aggressor only shoot backwards or do I have a bug?

I few one in beta, and could shoot in both directions.
Make sure you're not firing the 2nd weapon due to your keymap or something else like that. For example, if the 2nd weapon is in "weapon group 1" and your trigger button fires "weapon group 1" then you'll be firing the wrong weapon...and it's a bug that you can fire it at all.
You might try putting in differently-named weapons so you can know for sure which weapon is in which position. The turret's blaster should be the 2nd weapon slot.

There has got to be a bug with this. Because I tried it again and we can either both shoot forward or both shoot backwards. I've tried different weapon names and weapon groups, but now I cant even change or see the second weapon in the gun configuration window.

We had the same issue on Ahazi the other night. I ejected and he could still only shoot backwards.
It took a bit before his tie returned to normal.
Seems like a bug to me.

Check the same guns on a different ship.
They could be bugged up to fire backwards.
I looted some lasers last night that Actually mount on hte ship backwards, but they do fire forward.

I'm having the same issue...Took two people up and as the pilot my shots were coming from the rear turret. The odd thing was, my gunner could not see any of my shots nor could anyone in space around us.
Oh, and the guns work fine on other ships and they are in their proper slots.

I've got no problems with my aggressor. I usually fly it solo without the rear gun just for the huge mass advantage it has over the TIE Advanced. Seems to be the Imp trend at Tier 4.

try redeeding your aggressors and taking them out again.
Ive noticed that the weapon grouping seem to be bugged. I used to be able to fire my weapons in various patterns using the controls on my joystick... i go to a new ship and despite everything else being the same the weapons fired incorrectly. both primary and secondary fires fired the same weapon. despite being bound to different weapons.
I was able to work around this was to alter both the bindings AND the weapon groupings. Try playing around with different combinations.

I'm having the same problem with the aggressor too. I posted a note on it about 3 months ago but didnt get any joy.
Ive bought new weapons, tried configuring them differently, redeeding etc. Nothing seems to work.
When I fly solo, no problem. When I take a buddy up we both fire backwards.
Ive just submitted a ticket to CSR, I'll let you know the outcome.

Bummer of a bug. I noticed some strange issues with my Krayt's rear turret as well.
And for whomever is flying an Aggressor for the mass, you're crazy. All that extra mass and you gotta give up a whole forward gun? That's a 100% damage reduction for the pilot! Play the mass game, get in your Advanced!

This is theWeapon graphic bug that plagues the Krayt and Kimogila I think.
