Ala multiple players ride in a Jeep: 1 drives, 1 rides shotgun, 1 gunner in the back.
So for a Krog: 1 pilot, 1 head gunner, 1 arm gunner, etc.

Lua, and some COB to interpret. Quite possible. Each player sends a command to the turrets giving them a target each frame, basically. Would get a bit wonky if you wanted control over guided weapons (pass a target ID param to the gun before it fires, I guess) but would be fine for unguided weapons.
The only hard part is to force everybody's camera to follow the multi-controlled Unit, or rotate with the turret you're controlling, and building a UI for selecting the turret you want.

Evo did this a long time ago. Was entertianing, but it's really really hard to shoot planes with an fps'ed machinegun in spring.

Eh? Where? I'm not aware of the project or demo you're referring to.

Why not try playing Air Raid?

kdr implementiere das in airraid, zbsp: bomberstaffel (pilot, 2 mgs und ein richtsch├╝tze f├╝r die bomben) und n paar flaks+j├ñger und ne P├Âse fabrik zu gebombt werden soll (klingt mehr nach arma als nach spring, aber man darf ja tr├ñumen d├╝rfen :D )

Split roles like that sound boring to me, if one player can do it all without getting mentally overloaded IMO he should be allowed to do it. I won't make any Air Raid planes that need more than one person, if it gets turrets they'll just aim at a target like missiles do.

It was done in the simplest manner possible, with a transport loading a few turrets, fpsing them.
