A good way to stop them is to shoot a wing off.

Agreed.... IMO

If its classified bomber only then enforce F6 (certainly disable bomb release from F3).......... If its classified bomber/attack then when bomber is selected enforce F6, if attack is is chosen then disable formations but permit bomb release from F1.

There is an unbelievable amount of people going Stuka in their Lancs in game. Not only is this completely unhistorical, which the game isn't aimed at, but its also highly annoying when some idiot without any clue on how to use a bombsight downs a CV because he was able to dive straight down on it from 4k and hit it like his Lancs were SBD's or Ju-87's. What I suggest is that bombs are only able to be dropped in formation/single of bombers if you're in the bombsight. If you aren't the bombs cant be dropped and your attempt at downing a CV in a straight dive downwards is foiled.

That is all I ask for.

Here is your answer.

If you disable bombs being dropped unless in gunsite what does that do to B25 strafer? It sitll has bombs unless im mistaken.

If you read carefully, I said the bombers with formations, i'm assuming you mean the B25H, right? The B25C would be an acception.

When you see bombers diving on your CV and you're 5k out, you obviously cant get to them in time unless you magically warp through space and time to meet them there. Even if the bombers are right in front of your face you probably wont get all of them in 1 pass.

Shame on you for being out of position to properly defend your CVs.

Therefore you should be in school, learning how to spell or how to not ignore the bright red underlining.

As I recall, Lancasters could be looped.
