Disagree with the O/P, but no need to be rude jack-asses about it.   :frown:

I'd hesitate making the formations any bigger than they are.  3 bombers already deliver massive amounts of ordnance.  Grab a a squad-mate or countryman and take 2 sets of buffs. 

There are lots of bomber hunters in AH.  The P38 (it was designed as a bomber interceptor, ya know  ;) ), 190D-9/A-8, 109G-6/G-14/K-4, NiK2 "George", and a number of others.

The WWI server is there to provide air to air combat, over time I'm sure HTC will branch out.

After coming back to play for a bit after a long break, some things struck me as needed to evolve the game-play.

- Larger non-perk buff formations (4 or 5)
- More capable Bomber hunter (110 just doesn't cut it)

4 or 5 formation Buffs?  Like 3 doesn't do the job now?  1 formation of lancs can take down a Medium Base, by themselves.  Seems like you just want it to be even easier.

110 doesn't cut it?  You've got to be kidding....works just fine for me.  Maybe you should brush up on your tactics, and not just saddle up dead six.  :aok  Problem is, instead of working for your kills and getting the gunnery down, you want an easier ride to sit back on dead six and get easier kills.  Work on 110 3-9 hi lo attacks, switching up as often as possible.  Heck, you can tell when someone needs to switch gun positions..  there's a big hint right there.

  Only sit at dead six when you're shooting off the WgR's.....LOVE THOSE THINGS!  FORMATION SMASHERS!

3 bombers is more than enough.  1 set of 17s can drop 4 hangers.  As for bomber hunters just about any fighter here can drop a set of buffs if you can aim for the vital areas.

I don't really see a reason to have more than 3. You'll be waisting thous bombs anyways because they will drop to the side of the target.

Try the following: F4U-1C, Spit14, Temp, P-47M, 152, and a 262.

+1, but right now it's just a dogfighting arena, I don't think HTC meant it to be anything more.
