Drone Aircraft

[Chesty McGee]

Is there a way to change the drones flying above airfields in the offline mode?  Not that it really matters, but I would much prefer to shoot down planes that were shot down by the plane I'm flying.
Eg.  If I'm flying a Corsair I would want to change the Fw-190 to a Zeke and the B-24 to a "Betty".

Thanks in advance for any info.

Nope, though it has been requested several times.

And we don't have a G4M "Betty", just the much nastier Ki-67 "Peggy".

be glad for the variety....

for years and years they were all p51's. it has been asked for a change in them for a long time.

personally i think it is a good mix. bomber, small target (190), medium sized plane p51, and large fighter p38.

Why does it really matter what aircraft are flying up there....They just fly a nice slow circle around the field. Not like there evading you when you fly up to them.

That's not really the point I'm trying to make, I just think it'd be nice to shoot down 109's in a Spit while I'm practicing or whatever.  I don't know if it's just me, but there's something odd about flying a P-51 and shootin down those B-24s.

Oh yeah, and one more thing, I wish the damage would apply to the drones too.  I think it's a bit pathetic that when you blast off a couple of engines off a Liberator, then shoot the other wing off it doesn't hurtle into the ground.  Sadly, it carries on flying in that same perfect circle.

yeah that annoys me too

You guys need to stop dissin' the off line practice area!  That area has done more for my gunnery practice than you'll ever know!  As long a I find an enemy aircraft in a slow, gentle left hand bank at 200 mph - he's toast!:aok

How about you set yourself up a nice little H2H room with spits and 109's.
