Please add this if you care for bombers
« on: February 01, 2009, 04:32:45 PM »
Ok when i'm bored one of my favorite thing's to do is join someone as a gunner.  I just wish you could attach more than 1 gunner at a time, 5 gunners firing at once in a b-17 would be wicked cool! ;)

I think they used to have this, it was removed because people would up a buff and get 11 gunners and go deathstar an airfield.

No, never had multiple gunners here. HT says the choices are autogunners and 1 attached gunner or no auto and multiple gunners.

Was it in AH1, AW, or WB or something? I could have sworn that they had it somewhere and took it out.

I could see how they would argue against it because you have so much firepower, but it would make the game more fun.  And isnt the game about flying with your buddys and having fun doing it?

Like I said, according to HT, the argument isn't about "firepower", it is about how vulnerable ungunned bombers can be. Because you have to chose between 1 gunner per position (means if you can't get a gunner...you are undefended) or what we have now. You can't have it both ways.

No, actually, the game is about combat and having fun doing it. :)

AW

I knew it was one of those. :lol

Belial, the game also has to do with wingman tactics...not entirely stuffing your plane full of people and flying around in a buff all day.

Naw, having all guns locked together as they are is far more deadly than 5 dweebs all trying to aim at you would ever be.
To each their pwn.

Until you put 5 999000's in those guns....

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I dont know flying around in a guys plan eating pizza and drinkin beer waitin for a fight Bs'ing sounds fun to me. Oh and by the way multiple gunners is more realistic, real life didnt have drone gunners lobbing bullets.

Would be too overpowering IMO. I up and buzz around a furball in 17s sometime, and by myself manage to get home after downing 3 or 4 planes...can't imagine what it would be like with 6 individual gunners

I say if you decide to have more than 1 gunner, your 3rd person view is disabled.  That view is enabled on bombers because you technically have gunners in all locations that could talk to the pilot.  With a gunner on every position, you would have them reporting to you.

This would be really fun in my opinion, would be really challenging for fighters as well.
