New Buff Gunnery Model: I Heard it Through the Grapevine!
With the release of 1.09, bombers will fly in flights of 4. One player controlled, and 3 ships programed to follow the leader, most likely in a traditional bomber element. The big question on everyone's mind is:
Who or how will the guns be controlled; player manned or AI? HTC is known for compromise, and I have heard through the Grapevine that HTCs solution will be a combination of the two! The lead bombers guns will be player manned (as they are now) and the remaining planes guns will be AI, but the shooting styles and accuracy will be pattered after actual Aces High players! Naturally, everyone wants as good of a gunner as they can get, so:
Plane #2 AI gunners will shoot like Mitsu.
Plane #3 AI gunners will shoot like Fester.
Plane #4 AI gunners will shoot like Ypsilon.
Happy buff hunting!
