Nice idea furball. I had one very similar to that. Nice to know someone is one the same page as myself.
Perking the bombers in the formation would also be a nice addition. Keep out the riff-raff. I wouldnt mind a lone bomber diving on a field cus he would be smacked by ack in a hurry. But perking the others would definitely make one think about the value of his other bombers. This would increase the amount of high altitude bombing and your new idea.

Oh... and I would LOVE to have an extra drone and formation choices, but wouldn't a diamond cause gunnery problems for the pilot of #1 when someone is walking the six of #4??

of course, i would never do the heinous (punishable by death) crime of punting a thread, i happened to be viewing the post and coughed.

that is all.

has been suggested several times before in the past.
I agree....would be great.
maybe a "Dot Command" Like .e d200 would = Echelon formation at a seperation distance of 200 yards respectivly. And so on.
I hope this keep being suggested till it is someday emplimented. Thanks Furball.
Here is a thread of past mentioning this same primis.

Furball nice idea but for what type of role would this be used in and are we staying with accurate formations? High altitude bombing done by the 8th Air Force was done in the "vic" formations

Actually I think they were in whats called a "Combat Box"
