Three planes with which to wreck an airfield or town? That concept sounds slightly familiar. Let me think...

So you're saying having three planes with which to wreck up all the inanimate objects might be a bad thing? Sax, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.  :devil

Counterpoint: None of the formation bombers have FIXED FORWARD 30MM.

There's a HUGE disparity between what our level bombers can currently do, and what formation JABOs would be ABLE to do.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I think you missed the bit where I said I wouldn't enable ord for "Interceptor" formations. :D Still 3 110s would perhaps be the ultimate town strafing rig IF one didn't care about score, albeit completely vulnerable to attack themselves, and liable to lose drones if they got too aerobatic with their firing passes. Lacking ord they'd be unable to shut down a base though.

Actually Ratsy the difficulty I was speaking of was not the difficulty of learning any tactics, but the simple difficulty of FINDING another human player to fly with you. Apparently it is very, very, very difficult, so difficult that bomber pilots can't get any fellow players to fly in formation with them, gun for them, or escort them, so they need drones and all manner of compensation. Very well :devil, going by that logic do fighter not need some drone wingmen of their very own? Do tank drivers not need a couple of drone flaks to protect them from merciless air-to-ground pounding?  ;)



So you're just trolling the wishlist. Good to know.

why wouldn't you allow the air to air 21cm rockets on german interceptors?

Apparently no one likes bomber pilots, and it would be impossible for them to find anyone to fly in box with them, to gun for them, or to escort them. Hence the modeling to give individual players controls of a flying ack nest carrying tens of thousands of pounds of ordinance so that said individual stands a fair chance.

so nobody likes bomber pilots and you want to make it easier to shoot them down.  doesnt sound right.

I'm a little disturbed to know that there are whole squadrons of peeps are willing to pay fifteen bucks a month for a multiplayer combat game and then spend their time entirely smashing virtual inanimate objects.

If this thread is all a big baiting/trolling attempt, my only question is why hasn't it been deleted yet. If it's serious, I'll have a good laugh. Can't see what's a joke or not anymore, the meds are kicking in  :lol
