I've always understood that the ball turrets were unoccupied until the formation was at a point where interceptions would occur. And the ball turrets remained on the bombers until late in the war when the LW threat no longer existed.Very interesting that the Ball turret was often unoccupied. That might have influenced the decision to remove the ball turret from UK based B24's around May 1944
