Title: solution to dive bombing suicide buffs.
Post by: mechanic on November 08, 2004, 03:15:17 PM

ok, so if you turn too fast you lose your drones yeah?


well, how about if you dive too steep they pull out also, not wishing to follow you to certain death.

The drones will only release ordanance when in perfect formation with you, and only between 0-15 degrees from level flight.

Finally, bombs may only be dropped through the bomb site in heavy bombes.


i think this would work, or at least help.

All I see wrong with this is sometimes the drones dont stick with you even if your cruising at a normal speed, the 3rd drone tends to fall behind a little bit. Also if you are preparing to drop ord and a fighter kills one of your drones, the other drone moves to fill in the other drones position. Would suck to reach target and your bombs wont release because you just lost 1 of your drones.

I think it should be bombs can only be dropped from bombardier position if the pilot could not release bombs in real life.
