something about the B26 and TBM
« on: January 10, 2006, 02:26:55 PM »
Neither of these planes can be scored as attack, only bomber.  They used to be able to be scored this way back in the day.  This just seems odd to me because you can score a JU88 as attack and the 88 can do hardly anything but drop bombs.  I guess you might annoy someone to death with that front MG unlike the B26 which has 5 foward firing .50s.  As for the TBM, well the SBD can be scored in attack.  The TBM has the same amount of forwad firing guns as the SBD but the big difference is the TBM can carry rockets which don't have much to do with bombing.  So, can this be something for the next patch please?

The categorization of "attack" and "bomber" is not entirely clear.
