NO! Please don't tell me HTC is giving into the fighter Jocks!

[Beefcake]

Even before 1.10 comes, HTC is already porking the buff formation thingy. Unless HTC is planning on changing the bomb damage to buildings, 3 buffs won't be able to destory an ack at field. HT use the force, don't give into the fighter dweebs. Porking the buffs leads to dweeby tactics, dweeby tatics leads to whining, whining leads to sweetying, sweetying leads to the dark side.  There is much dweebyness I sense in you HT.



Truely though, HTC I really like the 4->3 Buff idea, keep up the good work.

Ahhhhh, ya ruined it Beefcake!  I bet Rude could sense that whine coming before you even hit the submit button.

AWWWW DARNIT!!!! I wanted that WotW award too!  Can I go back and edit it?

I love to fly bombers and I think this is great what they are doing, it will be much more realistic, in reality bombers didnt just pick off the buildings or AA they got over their targets and released their bombs which weren't accurate but covered and destroyed a very large area, not "laser guided" type bombing.

And I cant wait untill both gunner and pilot will be able to man the guns, I'd really like to be able to take up like 10 gunners, imagine a fully gunned B-17 with a gunner in every position, would be much more effective and really fun!

Uhmm,..Beefy,..the change is more accurate from a formation perspective according to how buffs flew formations in the war.  I think HTC realized this on thier own and fixed it.

[Beefcake]

I know Mr. Skuzzy. I don't think HT would forsake us buff pilots. Though I kinda hate to see us losing 1 buff, a 3 buff formation would be alot easier to command. I'm sure HT will get it right, and I'm sure all will be happy.


Well....cept laz

[Skuzzy]

Look at it this way,..that 4th buff potentially would have blocked the lead buff from 6 shots.  Now it won't.

[Tac]

cc skuzzy, now they will be able to killshoot the buff formation beihind them 3X as effectively. MWAHAHAHAHA.

[Beefcake]

Tac you do know killshooter is nullified between buffs don't you? I

Hehehe it may be fun (not sure about that yet)
But realistic? Maybe as realistic as the collision model,
ya know, where only one guy dies most times?
Or realistic as the pilot gunning all the gun positions
 on the buffs? Fun maybe, realistic? Oh yeah I remember reading about the guy that flew 3 buffs at one time now  
I do say I love this game but realistic it aint.

X2Lee,

Collisions are as realistc as they can possibly be given the contraints of the internet.

The bomber changes will make the usage of bombers more realistic than what we have now.

Nothing in AH is truly realistic.  AH is, first and foremost, a game.

Ya think? In most mid air collisions there are no survivors.
So I have to differ with ya. I never said it wasnt a game, I just keep hearin everyone say how realistic it is.

 HT IS a fighter dweeb

[Skuzzy]

x2lee,..my comment was very specific.  The formations for most buff flights are made up of 3 buffs, not 4.  Never said a word about pilots, guns or anything else,..just formations.

[lazs2]

If they make it more realistic then the drone herders should never again be able to sink a ship and hitting a FH will be sometimes thing.   Wouldn't that be cool?
