TBM formation? curious why it does not have one.
« on: May 28, 2013, 06:21:03 AM »
been flying the TBM a little bit. was wondering why it does not have the formation option as it is a level bomber with similar payload to the g4m.

Can carrier aeroplanes even have formations? :headscratch:

<big crayon> go through the list of aeroplanes in a cv hangar and see which ones have the option for formations...silly. you will have the silly answer to your silly quesion.

But don't you see, silly...  That is the point to my rhetorical question.   Are formations even possible on a CV... in terms of how Aces High is coded? :)

Is such a thing even possible without serious programming involved? :headscratch:

the only time formations were enabled is when the B25C was enabled on the cv's a couple years ago(along with the p39D)

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...

G4M isn't carrier launched.

:rofl  he didn't say it was...he was comparing the payloads and the fact that both are level bombers, nothing more.
