I can just hear the whines of people getting shot down who tried to use a button like this as an excuse not to fight or from the bombers who just wanted to reach 25k.

I mean come on man, that is just one stupid idea  :lol :rolleyes:

If I have to poo, I will up bombers, when I finish my "run" upstairs, I normally have alot of alt for the bombdrop. If I have a hanger, Ill go take care of it on the flight back.
