And a dog that waits on the infield for you to return safely.

ROFLMAO! Think we should be able to name it too, with it's own icon. Think I'd call mine Winston.

We also need to be able to choose the breed of dog.

Or sheep, if you're a bish.

We won't go into what the rooks would have waiting for them on the infield...this is a family board

I'd rather have some blond nurses Revvin

I smoke is added, should be an option, I've got low FPS as it is.

Oh contrail/vapor trail option...? that's good idea, wilbus.
also I want LoD (level of detail) option.
the most of games have this, and it's useful for low spec users.

Eheh could you imagine a 4 ships buff formation all togheter barrel-rolling with the human controlled ship? LOL

Mitsu · « **Reply #9 on:** May 11, 2002, 01:44:26 PM »

the 4-ship formation feature would be composed with all human players?
They won't install AI buffs, right?

from what i read it sounds like 1 player control of 4 buffs *drool* better formation flying so better protection from fighters but one thing i wonder if there'll be 4 players who can gun or just the 1 as it is now frantically going from plane to plane hehee but gosh imagine the destruction potential 4 high lancs dar is out so you're blind b4 you get enough people from your team to come help out all fhs are down even at the large fields. i love it but i also fear it lol

I like the Idea but it seems like for the amount of damage they will be able to do...maybe they should make more buildings for like the Headquarters and Weapons Facotories so that there is more to bomb....i think that would maybe help balance...because you are right 4 bombers under one pilots control could be very dangerous...love it but fear it

If they make it with 4 buffs under a single person, I think it would be interesting to perk the heavy bombers, or perk the ability to take more than one. If anyone could just take 4 bombers up, it would be way to destructive, unless of course the strat system takes that into account.

Should the 4 ship formation be able to carry 4 human gunners? Will one gunner cause guns on all 4 aircraft to fire together at the same point?

Disable the .salvo 1 for bombers, make them carpet bomb again so you balance the 4 ship formation strenght. By doing so, the bombers will be used for the heavy stuff and the cherry picking will be left to dive bombers/attack planes, giving them a role in the game.
