Roger that DrDea. The best thing is to bring your friends from AW to AH with you. A large part of the old C Hawks squad from Air Warrior flies together as C Hawks in Aces High. The comraderie is still there and we've had a number of individuals who have the C Hawks heart and spirit join us in AH. There are C Hawks playing under the C Hawks squad name in at least 3 other online games, so no matter which game you go to, you can find squaddies to fly with.

In AW crewing a bomber was not the hard thing to do. The hard thing was getting onboard before all the slots were filled. These flights were awesome and were a total blast.
As it stands now , it is an over and over text of "anyone need a gunner?"

Call it what you want, Toto.  You're not in AW anymore.

So no one flew bombers until HT made formations available, right?

Did they?  Perhaps a better question is, would they?  I said it would all but eliminate them from game play, not that some wouldn't still fly them.  Their effectiveness would be cut to such a state they'd be worthless to fly.

I think the new B-17s will come equipped with Chuck Norris gunners, one hit from those 50 cal and your whole plane will  dematerialize.

I hate the ai formations should be single bombers AW style.


It would be cool to see tons of bombers, if they were all REAL players. Down with AI.

I remember some really large A26 or B17 raids in AW even early AW4W, it just takes more organization.

Also get rid of the ability to jump to gunner positions, bring back multicrewing!

    It would all but kill the use of bombers. It's a nice idea on paper, but it fails on the practical side. Getting seven or eight (gun positions, pilot and bombardier) players to crew one lone bomber would be almost impossible. Everybody wants to fly their own plane, not be an accessory.

 AW Death Stars were a complete blast to be in, as a gunner or pilot.

 How much pilot skill does it take for 10 guys to up 30 B 24's in AcesHigh , climb  to 500 feet, set them on auto-pilot,  and formation fly them  into a furballs with 80 to 90, 50 cal guns blazing ? ..... E-Ticket BS  ......

I guarantee there was a higher percentage of people flying bombers back then than now.  Hell back then you could take out individual fuel tanks from 30k... oh wait you still can now.  Bombsite is just as easymode now, and you get two extra buffs now.  lol.

Calling it the way it is slick. There`s way more AW still here than you seem to realize.

[AWRaid]

I think we can all agree here, this is a true Air Warrior.

Dude, I hear people calling AH "Air Warrior" every night on vox. This community, and that includes HT and Pyro who were players long before they were game developers, is getting close to twenty years old.

Such changes would severly limit bomber effectiveness and all but eliminate bombers from the game play.

And how is that a bad thing?!?!?!?!?

I'd like to see it where if the buff has more than 2 engines, it's bombs have zero effect on airfields, ships, and GVs.  Seems like a simple 1-line patch to me, and it would solve many of AH's current problems.

Looks very nice. Love the weathering effect on the wing surfaces.

Those screens may confuse some of the MA faithful, though, they show the plane flying over 200 feet in the air.

Oh ... and you forgot the ovine pornography that should be pinned up at the waist gunner stations.

straffo,..sounds like you are a victim of a poorly designed/implemented caching WEB server appliance if the last thing you see if dated 2/27.  Been two updates since then.

Either that, of the electrons are taking thier sweet time to get to you.
