Looking for a REAL bomber squad
« on: April 25, 2009, 02:04:38 PM »
I'm looking to either join a squad or create one that performs realistic, high altitude bombing missions (over 25,000 feet) against strats, cities, ect.  Anyone interested?

Well firstly:

  • Real bomber raids rarely exceeded 25,000ft
  • There isn't any PURE bomber squadron. There are however, very few that actually perform what you have listed. They fly fighters but they are in fact dedicated bomber squadrons within the game atm.

Now, you have the 100th BGH, 484th BG, & 457th BG in Aces High currently. Those are the only 3 dedicated bomber squadrons that I know of at the moment. I've noticed the 100th BG slacking in their heavies though. I'd recommend looking for recruitment with the 457th BG. They are a great bunch of pilots who enjoy the realistic aspect of the game as well as having a good ol fun time overall.

They can be located here:

Best of luck sir.  :salute

Edit:

I haven't seen the 484th around in a while but I'm sure they are still active. 457th & 100th BG's are both currently active in game so I'd personally recommend you fly with all 3 bomber groups to get a feel and choose the one that best suits your needs.

Over 25,000 feet? You must have a lot of laundry to do.  :)

I love putting together realistic high alt buff missions. Not many have the patience for that kind of thing. But, fights still do happen up high and it ends up being a lot of fun.

REAL?  Check with your local air base.

Castle, you'll find players who also like high alt bomber missions.  I'm one of them.

Check with the Dickweed Squadron.  Loser101 in game is a good friend I met at the 2003 Con and one of the regular members.

Thanks for all the info guys.  I wasnt trying to trash talk any buff pilots out there, I'm just tire of running missions for squadrons I've been in recently and never making it to the target half the time cause they didn't want to take the extra time to get to altitude.  I also enjoy the fact that I can start one of these high alt flights, set the autoclimb and proceed to run down the block for a twelve pack mid flight.  Hell, half of these missions I take off sober and land hammered to the wall!

Yep, they were lotsa fun. If we could only get a Russian bomber we could run authentic Russian ones. And dont forget JU-88s for historical missions either. They are fine bombers, "flying against Spits of course", escorted by 109s.

Which leads me to say that my only interest is flying authentic bomber operations. I get no pleasure flying ones with 6 countries represented in either force. To see 24s, 17s, escorted by 51s, and Jugs, being attacked by 109s and butcher-birds, is a thing of beauty.

The Lancaster is another winner up high. The KI-67 is a great raid bomber.

The 484th is on break for who knows how long. Cant go wrong with either the 100th or the 457th or The Haze as far as historical missions go.

Thinking on resubbing here soon.

100th and 475th are a good choice.
