Bomber Skins
« on: September 13, 2009, 09:49:36 AM »
I'd like the option to be able to select the two skins my drones will use instead of them mirroring my own.  Not sure if it's possible the way the game is made, but it's just a wish.

It is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end, but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

I might have to check, but I recall running a film where that actually happened to me. (recently) The lead buff was one and the drones were the default.  :rolleyes:

Weren't the bombers in a formation all of the same squadron?

yeah that's what i'm thinking, why would you want 3 different skins? (not that I'm against the idea)

I noticed the same thing. This was snipped from a recent sortie. My plane is a 91st BG skin-(A) on the tail, and the other is the default. Would be nice if the film viewer made the drones match the player's choice of skin.

Random thought, but what about allowing bomber formations to choose a different skin for each bomber? Might be a nice touch, especially if there's any types that have multiples from the same squadron or bomb group (say, if all of the Zodiac B-24s were done).
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.

Then planes from different squads would be flying in the same formation. Noseart aside, the other details would be fairly similar so I think it is good how it is.
