new bombing system and further improvements

[SELECTOR]

i like the new bombing system a lot, it brings some skill to flying buffs.. what i have found when im flying them is the need to spread out my threesome a little for a wider path.. HTC how about a dot command for bomber spread. would be real helpful:)

I'd be happier with a dot command for "Hey, you $%(^(%$), get over here; I'm flying nice and straight" for getting the drones to form back up on you after you come out of a turn with them still in formation behind you and then watch them fall further and further back until they pop.

One of the things that drives me up the wall about the bomber formations is that the drones appear to match your throttle setting exactly; when they fall back from you, you can't throttle back to let them catch up, because the stupid ^$#(%&^$(% drones slow down too. The only thing I've found that works is to porpoise my bomber some; apparently the altitude change flags something in the drone logic and they make an effort to catch up. Most of the time.

Rudder works very well for getting drones to catch up, they will not mimic ANY rudder motion at all.

Yes you can

I'll second this!!  I'd love to be able to spread my wingies out 30 or 50 yards to be able to better saturate a town (which is mostly what I bomb these days).

Now that level bombing is part of the game...Enable craters on airfields..

yeah, dot command for spreading the formation... that would be
great...


and I would like a command to make the drones land while I'm
still flying. this would be useful in the b26. the drones die too easily
while turning so they're useless when strafing (or just too annoying
having around).
