Because people would type in something like 999000 and fill the skies with lag, while skilled bomber pilots (i.e., see earlier) can suffice just fine with only 3.

Taking from what I've heard, giving the ability to add more bombers to a formation would be a nightmare for the ground tiles of the MA.

No thanks.

     Like they said it would cause so much lag with huge amounts of lag if someone could take up even 20 bombers! Personally I think it is fine the way it is but if really wanted I think the 4 bombers with perk points and no refund would be acceptable.

I could see it now.....999000 with 10 bombers in a spread formation.

I would be happy with being able to alter the 3 bomber formation..  I.E. make it tighter, or looser..   like .form 200 = bombers D200 from eachother.. etc etc..  make it possable to space them from D50 to D1k or so..  would make them more useful for hitting different types of targets.
