Title: Use for Bomber Perk points.
Post by: sgtdeaux on October 16, 2005, 01:07:06 AM: I know this has been sudgested.. however the way it was sudgested was akin to dragging your fingernails down a chalk board as it is with so many of the literary attrocities I see vomited up on this forum.
Perhaps it would be possible to add more planes to a formation of bombers by utilizing perk points.
Perhaps making it possible to have a maximum of say 6 or 10 planes.. Loosing any of the planes beyond the standard 3 alloted to a player in a normal formation would cost the player the perk points for those bombers.

Post by: FiLtH on October 16, 2005, 10:12:10 AM: The problem is, its those two drones that can get you to the target. I dont wanna burn perks on planes you know will die, and have nothing to look forward to spend perks on.

Post by: APDrone on October 16, 2005, 06:46:01 PM: I would like the option to burn the perks.

I have 3k ( which is probably average for bomber pilots) that I sure as heck have nothing desirable to use them on now.

Leading a 10 bomber formation .. or, better yet, leading a flight of 10 x 10 bomber formations.

Yup.

Should be a nice FR test.. :rofl

Post by: toadkill on October 16, 2005, 10:06:02 PM: it would make bombers a large fighting force, i like the idea, becuase right now there is almost no point of gathering perks for bombers. i think id have more fun with my perks than i am now, by being able to print them out and throw them at people, just to see what they do.

Post by: Treize69 on October 16, 2005, 10:18:49 PM: Copy that, the 234 sure as hell isn't worth saving your perkies for.

I hardly ever fly bombers, and I've got a few hundred perks saved up. Would be nice to have something worthwhile to spend them on.

Post by: ThunderEGG on October 17, 2005, 12:07:17 AM: I'd just like something else besides that blasted 234 for my buff perks. This is getting very old.

Post by: toadkill on October 17, 2005, 03:34:39 PM: 2 is way too low, it should be "exponential", if possible, like 3 drones cost 5 perks, 4 cost 25, 5 cost 100, 6 costs 200 so on so forth, because that many bombers would be almost invincible, unless alo more than normal people scrambled. cuz 6 bombers would never get shot down by one/two people, unless the bomber sucks as a gunner.

Post by: viper215 on October 17, 2005, 03:50:52 PM: true
Title: 6 bombers killed by two fighters?
Post by: TalonX on October 17, 2005, 06:11:16 PM: I do like the exponential rule for bombers, but two fighters shouldn't be ABLE to shoot down 6 bombers in box formation.

This would be a great way to use the perkies.

It would also induce more buff hunters, giving them something more to shoot at.

I'd love to spot 6 bombers below me in my Tempest........

:aok

Post by: toadkill on October 17, 2005, 06:17:58 PM: ive shot down 2 fighters that were gangbanging my lancasters just the other day they didnt get a one of the 3, if they couldnt get my 3 lancs, they wont get my 6 17s, but they prolly werent that good, considering later i got 2 lancs down by a 109(but that was cuz i had no tail ammo).

basically im saying, fighter skill all that matters, not how many fighters there

Post by: Hoarach on October 17, 2005, 08:53:07 PM: Id rather be able to use bomber perks for fighters along with vehicle perk being used for fighters. Basically allowing all perks to be interchangeable.

Post by: viper215 on October 17, 2005, 08:57:00 PM: that could work

Post by: Skilless on October 19, 2005, 12:15:53 PM: Can you imagine the whining and crying when a bunch of perked drones blow up on take-off? How many times have you lost one of your two drones? Imagine adding 7 more to the equation...

I like your idea but it would IMO make the game chaotic. We would have "bomber dweebs" (lol) with 3,000 bomber perks checking out droves of tigers and 262s playing havok on gameplay. Instead, make a check box on the hanger knee board, similar to when it asks you if you want to be scored as a fighter or attack, except check where you want your perks (if any are earned) to go: Bomber, Fighter, or Ground Vehicle.

This way it requires a little forethought and you can't one day decide, while in a ground battle, that you want to use your extra fighter or bomber perks to check out a tiger.
