since the bombers almost have their lazer site back could u please disable the formations now? its the lamest thing in the game.. they the only group allowed to have 3 lives per sorty lol.. atleast charge perks or something for formations..

[doobs]

TW9 your going at this the wrong way, IMHO.

Ask for fiter formations instead, would make 1 on 1 more interesting.

Bombers are already helpless targets. Single bombers are almost useless and wont make it to target in most cases.

Bombers in this game aren't at all what they were historically.

However, keep this in mind:

Before we had the formations, the hardness levels were different. After we got 2 drones the hardness was raised (especially on the HQ, mind you). The idea is that with or without formations, it takes the same amount of players to perform a given task.

So without formations, hangar hardness would drop, as would HQ hardness, as would CV hardness. You'd still have single bombers doing the stuff most compalin about when a formation does it.

Remember, Hitech said that he could make C-47s carry 20 troops, but he'd just up the number required for a capture to 20 if he did. Same end result regardless of the number of them.

the only hardness that changed was the hq.. everything else is the same.. 3k for hangars as its always been.

If dive bombing bombers is your concern then a better solution might be if heavy bombers couldn't drop their loads over a set amount of dive rate or possibly negative G's, effectively making them drop while in level flight.

I'm not sure it's really such a big problem.  I spend a lot of time defending VB's and I only run into it once or twice per camp plus they are a lot easier to take down when they are diving for my Ostie.

TW9 I remember at different times the hangars had different hardnesses. 2k, 2.5k, 3k (now). They used to be less.

the only hangar that changed was the vh at v bases.. use to be 1k. now they're just like the other hangar.. otherwise it has always taken 3k of ord
