Changing formation
« on: February 08, 2005, 05:09:18 AM »
Not my idea but I would promote it here.................

Buffs presently take off line astern and then form a V.

Supposing we had dot commands to change the formation shape to line astern, line abreast,  half echelon etc

/.fv
/.fl
/.fa
/.fh

etc

whilst in flight

wouldn't that be neat?

Yea, you should be able to order em to get in real close, it'd really help for GV carpetbombing, when you really HAVE to hit that Panzer with 51 1k bombs.

Yes this is something we brought up in the CM forum. Would be a nice tool for those buff pilots. :)
