TBM and B5N formations.
« on: July 08, 2014, 11:46:45 PM »
The TBM

The B5N


I think a brilliant way to turn these two planes from Hangar Queens into a useful addition to the game is to allow the ability to bring a 3 plane formation. This will allow them to bring more ordnance than their Jabo counter parts the F6F and F4U. Since they are both fitted with a Bombsite, I predict that this will increase the usage of both airplanes in large scale raids.

Only problem and possibly the reason why they don't have em already is because drones are stuupid when it comes to cvs. It would be interesting to watch them try and land on one.

I always thought it didn't matter if the Drones landed, as long as they didn't explode before you tower out.

Those are good snacks. The TBM is a little crunchy, even. +1

Well I'd like to see these planes used more, some how some way. I'll go that far.
