Just curious, how many of you actually use your bomber perks?

Everyone is, rightfully, saving them for the B-29.

You know what'd be nice that a real pilot/bomber would do?  Set the bombsight up for a given speed/altitude ahead of time, and go NOE up to something, pop up to that predetermined speed/alt, and bomb.

unfortunately we can't do that here, or can we?

It'd be nice to be able to just set it manually, no need for calibration.  Doesn't really matter because we already can by doing the calibration ahead of time, I just think it'd be a sensible option.

This is pretty easy to do now.  :aok
