Would like your vote Re: Bomb Calibration

[RAMAIR]

This will be my last post on this subject.My suggestions are as follows:
1.Move the current bombsight to the new missions arena and reinstall the old one.
2.Make the bomber formations a perky item,150 perks or enough that you would have to master a single bomber before you could up a formation of them,that would give us something to do with those mounting bomber perks we dont want to waste on the arado and would keep the newbys from being able to do as much damage as someone who knows what they are doing,it would also encourage them to up bombers and bomb some strategic targets and put more buff's in the air.It also will keep them from being able to kill large fields.
3.I think I would also make the high alt bases all large size airfields,common sense tells me that if I was building airfields that  I would place the largest at highest alt if it were at all possible.
4.Strat targets have to be fixed before anyone will bomb them,I bombed the knit HQ awhile back and promptly knocked out our own radar:confused:
5.B25 or B26 should be available from a carrier:) Thats it, C-YA up

Ramair,

Read the interview with Hitech, calibration is here to stay. The continued obstinancy of the fighters only and experten crowds mean that not enough of a stink is being made about this issue to force any changes.

Problem is of course, the Newbies who used the Buffs as training aircraft and ran the greatest number of sorties aren't flying them any more. Sure the experten are running occasional curiousity missions, but the backbone of bombing in AH is currently broken. This is being obscured by the "all major changes produce a negative reaction from the user community" rule of thumb. The adage ignores the fact that changes for the worse also necessarily produce a negative reaction. The statistics are the key to whether this is "we fear change" or "this isn't much fun" blip. So far, the majority of people are voting for "this isn't much fun" by their choice of aircraft.

Since we won't see a change in calibration all we can hope for is that the Buff damage models and the Buff Guns will be fixed. All other hopes regarding calibration are vain.

Personally I'd love to see a bomb drift calculator in the bombsight simulating several months of bombardier classes. Heck, we get more help adjusting artillery fire from the ships than we do bombing. At least show us how far off of true our calculations are in numbers - it doesn't have to be a green X like in training.
