TBM formation? curious why it does not have one.

[Midway]

that's good!

Actually, kind of sad, if you know someone afflicted like this... or worthy of pride, depending on your perspective.

we all actually know someone afflicted in such manner...uses the handle midway.

I pretty sure they did fly in formation in the war....

.to honest im wondering why they never added  formation tbms and kates in the game

Probably because they're carrier birds.

it was a silly answer to a silly question...

And your series of anti-Midway posts contributes to this thread in what way exactly??

Perhaps the question is how historical would it be to have carrier bombers attack (rather than just travel to the target) in formation?  If a particular carrier bomber did so historically, then presumably the game should reflect it.  Did some of the Kates at Pearl Harbor attack as level bombers?

To answer my own question, after checking a few reference books, yes they did, and in both attack waves.  So perhaps Kates, Avengers, and their like should be allowed formations.

evidently enough to get your panties somewhat wadded up...what is your point?

[Lazerr]

use of the word "rhetorical" would insinuate you have no real question which would seek an answer, and that is obviously not the case. formations would be possible and it would not require "serious programming" in the manner that you think. the coding for formations already exists, it could be applied to aircraft such as the tbm, with the proper programming adjustments for what would be involved in allowing a 3 plane formation to take off from the deck of carriers in ah.

maybe it's a good thing you fly spits...

I spit my 2nd beer up on this one.. lol

My point is that your juvenile vendetta has no place here.  Take it off line.  Hope that's clear enough for you.

Radar or ASW pods, I reckon.
