More Aircraft in a formation, and more users to use the guns in a Bomber
« on: September 30, 2010, 08:45:57 PM »
Do you think that there should be more Aircraft in a formation, and more users to use the guns in the Bomber?

Example:

The B-17 Flying Fortress has a Crew of 10 so why not the game be formated to fit 10 users into the B-17, not just 2 users (one of the users include the pilot)?

no I don't. 2 in a bomber is plenty.And that's one too many IMO. Now let me ask you a question. Why are you constantly wishing for something in a game you don't even play? You have 46 posts....all in the wishlist forum, yet the cpid "Cipher" hasn't played in the last 2 tours. Probably more, just didn't check.
Do you make it a habit of going to gaming forums and just wish for things or what? How about using the search option once in a while. From what I've seen from your posts, nothing you've wished for or asked about hasn't already been addressed in the past a billion times already.

BTW, just how many people do you feel should be in a bomber....4, 8, 10 people? Maybe a whole squad ?

No, he is the guy that starts a thread that has been discussed 1000 times before.

:( me want death star back...

But honestly, HiTech explained to me the choices they had for gunnery, either allow one in every gun or slave the guns to one person's use to make them need less people to use the bombers in combat. therefore increasing the usage of bombers...

In Air Warrior you could do both anyway. So that cannot be entirely correct.

But just like Spit factories etc that were in Air Warrior they seem not allowed in AH . Maybe there is some bad blood there & a unreasonable reluctance to use anything that was good or popluar in AW

Having all guns individually manned is good for buff squadrons & besides you have some good fun chatting on the way to the target.

Upping a death star to defend a field was always great fun

False.  In AW you could only control the gun you were in and all unmanned guns were inert.

You could have 20 gunners in your bomber but that don't mean you'll survive any longer. Your target can't be tracked from more then a couple positions at one time anyway. So what do the other 8 guys do after i've made a pass? Are you suggesting I get 10 kills for that? OK, sounds good....... +1  :devil

He might just be a guy who is trying to understand as much of the game as possible before diving in but JBJB try browsing back about 10 pages.  Most of what you're asking for has been discussed ad nauseam

Go to main arenas and ask for a gunner, you'll be really lucky if you get one.

Correct I missed the bit about slaving the other guns.

A good gunner does not need to have all the other guns slaved to it in a single buff.

So what's wrong with having the single buff with multiple player gun options & also have the formation with the way it is now?

Uptown you would not get 10 kills.

Actually you would only get 7 kills or 8 if you have a co-pilot if it was configured that way.

It would appear you did not play AW or if you did you did not attack many death stars nor was in them.

They did not get that nick name for nothing :)
