Bombers Unite(Rooks and others too)
« on: July 27, 2002, 08:26:02 AM »
Ive only been here a few weeks but I see the same things as AW3 had as far as teamwork goes. To me these games are the most fun when you get everyone on your team working as a unit. Right now I see scattered attacks all over the board. I propose that one night a week...say..weds, or friday, we dedicate to mass bomber runs to the enemy countries industrial heart. One person would be bomber CO, coordinating the attack before launch time. Another would be escort CO. Nothing brings together teamwork better than this. The enemy will see a large blip heading to their homeland and will muster everyone to intercept. Therefore everyone EXCEPT one country will be all working together. As time goes by each country will get better at organizing their attacks and defensive setups.
    Sure ther will be the matter of the 3rd country grabbing bases while the other two are fighting, but I`d be willing to sacrifice real estate that changes hands fast anyways to have a few hours of great teamwork a week.
    As with events, a mail list could be started to remind people of the event each week, as well as send any pre arranged mission plans. I can start a mail list, and you can email me at fluxputz@aol.com to be added to it. All emails I send will be sent blind as to prevent spamming. Fall will be upon us before we know it, and I plan to enjoy this game thru winter. Lets work together on this idea to bring more fun to it. I fly as Rooks, but anyone wishing to fly as a Rook on that night to bomb with us would be welcome. Please title your emails to me as Aces High Bomber.

No.9 arrange missions every Sunday and have been joined by some great bombers. Last week including drones saw 30 B17's in the air. You are more than welcome to come and fly with us as are any bomber groups out there.

Thanks for the invite Revvin. Id like to see all these great squads like yours get together and put hundreds of bombers in the air. All in one run to a single target. What is the current limit on number of icons or dots seen at one time in here? In ww2ol it was 64.

Not sure, some say no limit other's say there is. I think AH has a large limit by making a smarter choice of what NEEDS to be rendered around you rather than just cut off the 65 plane because of a number limit.

The formation we had last week was a little problematic on takeoff as frame rate's dropped. I always make sure that the escort fighters take off on another runway to avoid confusion but due to the numbers of bombers I think a staggered takeoff for bombers is also needed next time.
