I'll take a guess and say 60.

Bomb accuracy is being reduced and that is the penalty I'd think, not more perk points.

I doubt that the Ar-234 will be one of the 'boxed' bombers.

If it doesn't come ina formation it'll be even more useless than it already is.

The Arrado main mission for me right now, is to kill all 4 fuels from a small base. It stops the flow of fighters attacking a base better than killing all hangars.
It's far from useless, but with bomb dispersion ... well ... :P

my question is whether we can keep the drones in formation within 1k yards while doing manuevers.  I have a feeling they might disappear (as per rules on setup of buff box formation) before we even know it.

Arado is quite useless plane at next patch with that bomb dispersion, only place you can score 100% hit is city.
And Ju88 is dive bomber and very accurate if you got skills to fly/dive bomb...

Yep, i know that but IL2 is listed as bomber and usually those "tanks" fly/attack at formations. And you dont need bombsight at IL2...have you ever tried dive bombing (in shallow dive) with IL2 ???

All bombers with level bomb capebility (level bomb sight) should have BOX otherswise it will suck BAD.

Frenchy,

I've found that the Ki-67 is pretty good for that mission and it doesn't have a "kill me" icon.


I would guess that you'll get 3 Ar234s for 60 points when you take off and you'll get 60 points back if you land even one of them.

Just noticed something good about the bomber box thingie.
OK, bombs disperse more and form a pattern in the buffs flightpath. Now if you have like 3 lancs, that is really something, especially if things on the ground are packed nicely toghther. Well, what I noticed was that the FH's at the LARGE bases are grouped nicely together, so blasting them will not be so bad.
Wonder if they are going to do anything about blast range though:confused:
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
