So that leaves one with furballing....hmmm not much reason to keep paying for a subscription......
Can you see where it might go?
Suicide missions are as poor as suicide dive runs..........
the fact that the suicider is shot down cos he dived into a fighter swarm is as poor as the guy who slams it into the deck!
I would perk the bomb type not the bomb load.............eg if you chose 500's 1 perk, 1000's 2 perks, over 2000's 3 perks.
The way AH COADS load outs may not enable this easily (it refers to load outs as 0,1,2,3 and they may be all sorts of mixes of RL ordinance) in which case I would review the loadouts and perk all 3's to 1 perk or 4's to 2 perks.
The net result would be that suiciders would tend to choose
1)to use less effective ordinance to suicide with
2)to actually try to survive
This does have a bearing to historical circumstances (yeah I know its a game) ac rarely carried their max ordinance weights yet that is the rule in the MA rather than the exception.
