AI bomber missions in main arena

[Jed]

I get it, and agree. 
Wishing to use the al bombers as bait.   To fly against humans that aren't within safety of field ack or other players who can
re-up after being shot down.

The problem I see with it is they'd need to be able to do significant damage to attract defenders, or they'd get ignored.

That would open up a few unlovely side effects.  One being during low number times they'd likely have free reign to hit strats.  Automated strat raids, I just can't see it being a good thing debilitating a side's capabilities without humans having to put in the effort.

for the first few weeks, but after the banked up perks are used up. depending on the price I don't see them being used that often.

If that were the case, what's the point of having them then?

I wonder what the typical town center dropper's perk gain per hour is like...  Lusche!  To the spreadsheet!

Depends on plane choice and perk multiplier, but unless you fly B-29, averaging 20 perks per hour is easily doable even for a rookie. As a matter of fact, you will even get that by simply doing strat resupply runs in a C-47. An experienced player who is explicitly farming bomber perks can make something like 40 perks per hour average & sustained.

That are numbers an AH fighter pilot can only dream about.

We DO where where-where are are they?---and you did say Vehicles--bomber drones don't count, they are not vehicles.

so where are the AI vehicles?

Supply convoys/trains/barges.

If I could find more
Trains I would shoot at them.
THey seem to be rare finds unless your at the strats .

To my knowledge they haven't been introduced to AH III yet. And there was nothing 'AI' about them, they just rolled a set route every 10 minutes. Artificial Intelligence would at least indicate some degree of ability to react.

+1 for AI bomber missions.

Edit:  It would also be cool to be able to join the AI bombers as gunners as well.

It follows a pre determined path/route
It has a mission to supply or destroy
It defends its self
It can be shot at and destroyed

Train or plane?
