If your gonna fail, do it in such a way that people will be wondering how you managed to do that.

If it cant be fixed with duct tape, it cant be fixed at all.

 :huh

A week in the TA would do wonders for new players.....not two drones to lose by taking off.

On second thought.....yes please!

Means more kills for me.

 :D

Nice bait tho!

+1

What exactly would an extra fighter or two do?  How would it work?  Would they have to stay within X # of yards of each other like bomber formations?  Would you have to jump back and forth between them?  If so, what would happen to the other one?

it would be a formation of 3 (including your plane) and would be a wing distance away depending on the plane

It would be great for screenshots and films.

Then again, that's the only purpose I can think of.

Only if it has the same limitations as the bomber drones. ;)
But... here's my real response... :D

Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are: You only

WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

You guys need to stop thinking and go with this...it's the best idea since newbies, particularly with ENY 5 aircraft.

Think it though.

For the pilot:
1. Rather than one aircraft spraying and praying there are three...three times as likely to accidentally hit something solid.

For everyone else:
1. Stick stirring and drones mix like nitric acid and phenol.  That's two kills per formation.
2. Flying a fighter whist thinking about drone position leads to poor fighter flying.  That's one kill per formation.
3. The level of entertainment available on channel 200 when someone thinks three Me262s are three times as good as one Me262.  Priceless.
