Auto Switching Between Fighter and Attack

[Randy1]

 Let the scoring selection between Fighter and Attack be automatic with selection the addition of ords and ords removal.

 +1....Great Idea! .... but all the score boys won't like it.

I just have an egg/s on all my planes and use different planes for different things exp:D-27 and D-40 are always set heavy/max and set on attack... D11 is heavy set to fighter. P-40N heavy set to attack.... the rest of the P-40 set to fighter.

You can always go light and fight,

+1, if the score boys don't like it, it has to be beneficial to the game.

It sounds good, but I like to make my own decesion. I might want to carry ordnance and still be a fighter, of course after ordnance is dropped.

Conditional +1

So long as I can turn it off like auto takeoff or auto film recording.

So I would have to score as "fighter" when going on a 6x20mm ground strafing run in the Me410?

Perhaps the soloution would be as simple as having the option when taking guns only, but always in ATTACK if taking ordnance.

That's brilliant, actually...

How about just clicking on the button for attack or fighter?

make it default to "attack" when ord is selected, but still changable to "fighter" by clicking on the same buttons already there.

The interesting question to me is: How would you handle planes like the D3A and Ju87D that have the option of "attack" or "bomber"? What would they default to? 

[BnZs]

Heh. Everything I fly is set to "attack". That started long ago for flights where I had thought had little chance of doing anything but hurting the fighter score, such as desperate base defense. Then, gradually, it dawned on me that the sorties where I did anything I darn well pleased regardless of risk/reward ratio on score were so much more fun than ones where I cared how this impacted some stats. Nowadays every single fighter in the hangar is still set on "attack", because I no longer care whether I even have a fighter score at all or not.

This will greatly hinder the efforts of those that fly for score!

Next you will want to treat every time a plane ups after a re-arm as a new sortie!

There will be rioting in the streets. Mass mayhem.  The sky will crack in two.  The time space continuum will cease.  John will have never met Paul!

OK, ok...

Lusche my WAG guess would be a sortie to just strafe would be a low percentile of attack scoring sorties.  

make it default to "attack" when ord is selected, but still changable to "fighter" by clicking on the same buttons already there.

Good thinking.  This would work well if fighter mode was the normal default with the option to switch to Attack.

How so?
