RTB option

[Clone155]

I wish that there was a command to send bomber drones back to base safely.

I fly the Boston III, and after I bomb, I like to dogfight, and I think it would be a lot easier to send the drones back to base while I stick around and fight, because the leash they are on now is so short I cannot even do an immelman without them popping, let alone hard turn fights with fighters. Also I wish for a Boston III update.

No way, for so many reasons.

If you would like a medium alt turn fight in a brick, may I present to you...



You fly the drones there, you fly them back. There is a reason you can also switch to decide whether or not to bring drones from the hangar. And the reason the drones don't fly with you so well is because they are bombers, not fighters.

May I suggest the A-20 or B-25 as your new toy?

No. Up an A20 or don't bring drones.

No. I want to try and give the Boston III some use, but it just doesn't have enough bomb load to be efficient by itself, it needs the drones to bomb, and it would just be a waist of time only lifting a single to dogfight. Maybe HTC can make an exception with the Boston III.

I can understand your request, however, I can also foresee massive problems and potential griefing mechanics coming into play here. The best option is to simply take a single aircraft or ditch the drones after you've completed bombing.

Do you mean problems coding it or problems with it being abused? As of now I do just ditch the drones, but I don't appreciate giving a random person two kills.

obviously you know me now, so im not random ill take the free kills

 You do understand that unless you've been shot and hit the drones popping only give "proxy" kills and award no points.

 So someone gets their name in lights for those drones but big deal,personally I'd be embarassed from landing those proxies but thats just me.

Whenever I give someone two proxy kills it really burns me to see them go land them just for the name in lights.

At one point you could do your run & return to base & rearm. Then you could take off with that one plane & the other two would still be sitting there when you got back. Not sure what would happen if your single aircraft was shot down Maybe back to the tower or back to one of your awaiting drones maybe?

I don't think you can do this now though.

Not sure about that. But even if possible, I would have to RTB with the drones and take off again, which would consume time.

I don't think your going to get what your asking for. But that is OK it is a wish forum so wish away.

I would also like the A20G to have drones, but I think that is pushing too far.

A-20 with drones = The Boston and formation.
