Title: about clouds and bombers
Post by: nonoht on February 23, 2001, 06:43:00 AM

i've few questions :

1)we have new clouds but are there be more instead of this continous blue sky ?

2) if they are more present, at what alt ?

3) for the alt maybe between 8-12k
it'll provide :
-more fight in clouds
-a small base protection from bombers (more historics weather conditions)
-a chance to hide when appoching a target

4)we need the acks modified  (i don't want to see them firing upper clouds with no ligne of sight)

The thing I like is that strato Lancs may have to drop down into the atmosphere to bomb the heck out of HQ's. Yup, a little cloud layer makes line-of-sight bombing a bit problematic if there is 10/10's cover...  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Cloud layers would have great impact on how bobmers fly in this game.

Instead of relying on lots of guns and high altitude as protection from fighters, bombers could travel in or near cloud layer and use it as an hideout if needed.

Ju 88 would be much more useful since it has weak devensive armament and low ceiling. Those would not mean that much if your could avoid fighting alltogether.

I'll bet that the U.B.E.R TECH UltraTargetter 2000 will have no problems aiming flak guns through the clouds.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

As stated before, heavy flak could and was fired thru clouds with radar sighting.

Not to say it's annoying  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Now we just need Brewsters and I can go play Ju-88 pilot who hides all the gang rapes into clouds with the brewster escorts  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

It will definatly make bombing more realistic (something badley needed) targets obscured by clouds for one thing.  of course the coulds wont help much against the global GPS that can pinpoint a plane within 8 feet from 100 miles away (AH dar)
