Make Buff perks useful: Me-262a-2/U
« on: August 14, 2005, 03:06:08 PM »
Buff perks accumulate because there's essentially nothing worthwhile to spend them on.

While the Sturmvogel was more accurately a jabo, if listed as such it would go unused. Use the mod with bombsight; although not put into field service, it better justifies placing it the buff category and differentiates itself from the fighter version more clearly.

By classing it as a bomber, with the 2xMG108 loadout, it would give diehard buff drivers a reason to actually use their triggers while making the skies just a bit more interesting. The modelling would be relatively easy.

IMHO, this jet might make a worthy addition to the stable.

I'd rather see the Mosquito B.Mk XVI or B-29A Superfortress as perk bombers.

Bad idea. 262 A2 has only 2xmk108's and can take bombs, but is a more deadly fighter then anything in the game after it's pure fighter counterpart. Why do you think using bomber perks to have access to such a deadly fighter is fair?
 To get a perked fighter you need fighter perks regardless of it's Jabo capabilities (Tempest, F4U-4), why should be different for 262 A2?

How about combining all the perks in 1 column so we can use perks on anything not just specific things such as vehicle perks can only be used on vehicles because of many bombers and vehicle perks but never use them.  Since I am usually flying only fighters to me it would make more sense to be able to use the bomber and vehicle perks on fighters.

Well as long as a guy was using bomber points to get a 262 variant Id have no problem with it. Im sure to get those points he paid dearly a few times over. I would like to see the B29 though.

  I sunk a lot of CVs in A234s,   3 bombers x 3 x 500kg x 2.2 lbs/kg=9900 lbs ,
The CV need 8000lbs only to go down.   Dive bombing @500mph is fun, but i hit CV with calibration in A234s from 14k @ 400mph,

I like Arados, and have flown them fine.

Trouble is, bomber work can be (sorry about this) boring. In the time it takes to get an arado to good speed and alt, drop, and return -- fighter jocks could easily have had 5 sorties. And fighters have a higher percentage of flight time in actual combat (excluding the "NOE then auger" dweebs).

I liked the idea because most pilots have an accumulating excess of bomebr perks. Taking an Arado isnt hard, its just not as fun (for me, and I suspect others) -- which is why the bomber perk totals are in the stratosphere.

Having the option could increase the numebr of large, slow targets in the air; and I wouldnt mind that either.


Dont like the "conversion" of bomber perks to fighter action? Price the A2/u as high as you want, double or triple the 262-a1. I'd still fly the bird, and I bet I wouldnt be alone.

Dont hold breaks down and no flaps on takeoff hit the RATOs when you hit around 80-100MPH drones takeoff and stay with you with no problem.
