I didnt like it at first because I didnt understand how it worked. To be honest I still dont...BUT...Tumor knows how, and I formed my bombers close on him, and when he dropped,(I heard the whistles and saw the eggs fall) I dropped. I didnt expect hits but it was uncanny how well we did. This drop system isnt for the 1 buff base killer type. It promotes mass formations. If we trained so only the lead guy had to compute, and the rest of us simply paid attention to staying tight, and dropping when he did, it would be alot of fun. And alot of carnage!

Nay!
 I do not think you should be able to toggle "off" bomb calibration.

If you could turn it off what would you then have?  Laser-guided bombing again?

It took me a time or two to get it figured out (with lots of off-line practice :D ) but now all I have to do is figure out how to keep my precious paper-tiger B17's alive long enough to unload my bombs-o-death.
hmmmm... mayhap if I took tons of duct tape with me... just maybe.... :D

After 1.10 majority of my buffs kills are during vulching. I killed only 2 b17s and 1 lanc while they were in the air, and all 3 were low. When I compare it with what it was before, I understand, that it is a problem.

Calibration mode is very interesting one, and a great addition for scenarious and "mission" arena, which is going to be added in next version. It just does not work in MA good enough, to make buffs effective. I made several big buffs missions, with 15+ people, which makes more that 45 buffs, and not a single time those raids closed a field. Strat targets do not work now, but even if they do, most of strat targets does not worth to be bombed.

I do not know what, but something shall be done about bombing in MA.

why that bit about CT SELECTOR?

Trim is a secondary flight control... Its usefulness in a fight is almost NIL.  In a stall fight CT actually makes the job HARDER...(watch the trim indicators next time u turn fighting at 100mph...)


CT will also kill ya when diving in planes like the 109.  Its also a big problem when flying the 262...

The bombers that are flown are just quickies to maintain score, I also dont agree with the statement that it was "laser guided" bombs before the new sight.

Well Ramair you are 1 of 2 FOR the option to toggle off the Calibration Bombsight so far; so you meant to vote "YAY", correct?

Okay Fariz you and Ramair vote "Yay". I think your statement about Calibration mode being a good addition to the upcoming Mission Arena (MA2?!;) ) is interesting. Maybe having the option to toggle off the Calib. Mode should NOT be available to players in the Mission Arena and other "realism important" scenarios while it SHOULD be available in the Main Arena (MA).  ...Just an idea.

I like the new bomb calibration model.  I do think there are bugs in the three ship formation thingy however.......

To be able to toggle the calibration is self defeating to the entire concept and will not happen in my judgement, fortunately.

Nice try ;)

I really think the new bombsight would be better suited for a different type arena for the reasons I stated above Marauder.Sorry if I confused anyone.Carpet Bombing for the most part is used against soft targets and personel and we dont have alot of that in the MA.:p
