Make bombers free to play
« on: December 18, 2017, 09:58:04 AM »
90% of bombers are just meat for fighters. If we had more bombers, it would provide more meat to go around for the melee arena.

This includes ar234 and b29s, which should be made perk free to give the me262s something to do (instead of harassing slower planes).

B-29s perk free? Is this some kind of Christmas prank?  :headscratch:

I am serious man, there are lots of fighter perks out there waiting to be used. This would give a good incentive to using them.

Besides, most people cant even take the b29 off the ground, lol.

Maybe the idea works better without the free ar234 and b29? I can't say for sure these ideas will work.

then you must not be trying to shoot many bombers down.
there are many bomber pilot/gunners that are better shots then a lot of fighter pilots.

but let me see if I have this right.. you want these bombers to be free so the bomber pilots can take them up so a fighter pilot can have a chance to shoot them down. why? there are more fighter pilots than there are bomber pilots. plus the B24- carries the 2nd highest loadout of bombs, and you can build up you bomber perks pretty fast-bombing strats and towns.
there's no reason to un perk the B29's and 234's.

Well, just looking at the "ecosystem", jets prey on propeller planes, propeller planes prey on bombers, bombers prey on vehicles.

Its about that; which bombers are a large part of. Maybe vehicles should be free a well?

If you have a perk points spill over problem, use 262s to strafe wirbles. Works like a charm :aok

I find it is more reliable to use them to deack the big fields by yourself, preferably when somebody is in a man gun.
