Yeah, that's fine. Just that the "blinding the pilot" reasoning makes zero sense when so many ships have cannons right in front of the pilot and nobody says a thing about them. The cannons on the Millennium Falcon are right in front of the gunner, the TIE Fighter's cannons are right below him, the Y-wing's are right in front... All of them are approximately the same distance from pilot eyes as the E-wing's cannon, but nobody complains about them. Just be honest and say you don't like the aesthetic choice and drop the dumb "It'll blind the pilot" nonsense
