RTB option

I agree with you on both points - the B25C strafer shouldnt have formations enabled (like 25H) and the heavies should lose their drones when doing maneuvers like immelmanns.

People do it regularly in Lancasters and the American heavy bombers. I think it is silly that the Boston III and B25C has the same drone leash as the heavy bombers.

If it can be done with heavy lancs, why can't you do it with your Bostons?

I agree, but I am pointing out theself-contradiction.

Are you paying attention? I have stated it three times now, the leash on the Boston III is too short, they pop every time such a maneuver is pulled.

Have you been paying attention?

You say the leashes are equal length, yet less agile heavy bombers can pull a mauever while keeping in formation that your light more agilr buffs can not?

I can not take you seriously if you present evidence that contradicts your original statements.

I will explain it better then. The Boston III is so fast and maneuverable, that if a maneuver like an immelman is pulled the plane goes up and over so fast that the drones cannot keep up, and when they finally do make it up and over they explode because of the "leash" they are on is so short that they cannot keep up. To pull this maneuver off successfully I would need to either slow down, which is not a good thing to do in a medium bomber, or not do it at all. Some might say that the plane was not meant to pull such extreme maneuvers, and I can comply with that. But I also like to dogfight with the Boston III after I had made my bomb run, and the drones will not keep up with me on the sharp turns. Remember, this wish is not for a longer leash (although that would be appreciated), but for an RTB button for the drones.

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.

   

The drones do not award a kill?
If so that is a bug.

They do. I think he's referring to perk points, of wich you get none if it's just a proxy (=not  pinged previously)

But for all score stuff, the system works as it should.
