Bombers, formations, and the crewman
« on: May 07, 2006, 09:36:06 AM »
What Id like to see implemented in the following.

  Single plane bomber: pilot can fly,be the bombardier,and gun. But only 1 plane formation.

  Three plane formation: pilot flies and can gun, but the crewman has to goto the sight and tell the bomber to come left or right. The crewman acts as bombardier and is the one who drops the bombs.

Didn't the norden sight take control of the aircraft during the final moments of the run? This would allow the bombadier to make small adjustments.

Ya but that sounded too difficult to add to it :)  I think it would be fun to tell the pilot..come right...right..a lil more..hold!

Bad idea. Whenever you get to the point where YOUR success relies on another person in YOUR ride, you need to stop and go back to a point where that doesn't happen.

Your plane, with your bombs, and with you piloting it, has to rely on the guy just tagging along to gun for you, if you want your bombs to drop?

Bad idea. My $0.02.
