or all of you guys could up 7 bombers and have 7 times as many guns and planes and have more protection and fun and a bigger chance of hitting something
Well, for a while, there, AW bomber pilots couldn't man gunner positions. You flew and bombed.. that was it.
Our squad also had a few folks that were perfectly content tagging along as gunners and do nothing else.
AW had some targets buried on the enemy home islands ( BIG PAC? ) that were worth some insane number of points. One of our squad's little mini-awards was a 'Million Point Mission'.
You take a deathstar with 8 passengers, make it to one of the rear echelon targets, bomb it, and rtb. The points were awarded to each person, so if you had 9 folks total, and I think the typical point damage was 112,000 you had 1,000,000+ points just tallied for the squad.
It was a goal to shoot for.. and was a night of good fun for those involved. Everybody isn't always driven to be the most efficient killing machine possible.
There's a lot to be said for just the company you kept.
And the rum that flowed.. Ahhhh.... Ewwww... oh yeah.. Ummmm..
