It will definately make our (DHBG) squad nites fun.  As it is we usually launch 20-30 bombers, I can't wait to see a formation of over 100 bombers.  Should make the furballers whine a bit.

Especially when the bombers all miss their target because the lead calibrated his norden wrong;)

Not to mention the bombers not being able to see the attacking fighters with the 64 plane limit exceeded.

Tac,

I doubt the A-20 will be able to lift with a 4 ship formation.

I'll bet that only the level bombers with bombsights will have the option, the Ar234B, B-17G, B-26B, Boston Mk III, Ju88A-4, Ki-67, Lancaster Mk III and TBM-3.

I don't think AH has a 64 plane limit. Thats WW2OL.

If the 64 plane limit has any type of smart bias to it, friendlies will disappear before enemies.  In other words, if I'm a buff in a group of 100, I'm not the one who's going to be at a disadvantage as the 10-20 interceptors coming in will be rendered while 50 or so buffs will be reduced to dots on my end.  It's the interceptors who will only have 60% of the buff stream rendered that'll have the problem!  ;)

If I recall correctly also AH has a 64-plane limit..

I might be wrong though. Who could correct me?

Viper,

There is no Fw200 in AH, whereas there is an Ar234B.

Second point is that the Fw200 sucked in WWII and would suck worse in AH.  Its a fragile airliner that was pressed into service in desperation for a long range patrol aircraft.  So fragile that the sometimes snapped on landing even though they'd taken no damage.

Hmmm, lets see 30 pilots X 4 lancs (each) X 14 1000lb bombs  = a total of 1680 1000 lb bombs to carpet bomb a field....
1 question - would you rather be in one of the bombers or on the field in a GV?

With those numbers, you can afford to be off by a bit.  My real hope is that the new maps will expand the size of the field and towns adding more stuff to bomb.  As for cons, with 120 bombers in formation, folks below better watch out for falling fighter parts.

Regarding the 64 plane limit, hopefully HTC can work that out, if not the MA is going to suck.  I remember years ago in WB, teams used to purposely form mass attacks which couldn't be seen by their enemies until they were over the enemy's base.  It caused warping and all sorts of graphical problems.   If that's the case here or if this caused a real hit on network performance then HTC should just scrap the idea.  If they reduce the effectiveness of the single bomber and then limit the number of total bombers, squad nites will be a waste of time.
