To encourage use of bomber formations over overloaded suicide attack aircraft, how about perking ord on fighters?

you want a bomb, that will be a perk please.

rockets? .5 each!

if you land with ord you can get a refund.

You can't carry rockets on your SE5.  Not even sure if you can carry a bomb......:)

You have to admit, it is somewhat silly that some "air superiority fighters" carry more total ord than some of the dedicated attack aircraft and single engined bombers.

Were you thinking fighter perks or bomber perks for the ord?  (Gotta find something to spend bomber perks on, after all . . . )

since the numbers are low, and will always be, i think bomber perks should be useable to add more drones to your formations..... hmmmm;)

Just what we need 16 tailgunners boresighted at the SAME EXACT POINT in space and all moving in unison. That would drive me nutty- 99900 with a formation of 25 gunners- I'm looking forward to THAT, lol.

Your just taking the piss mate.  Why give HTC a hard time over suicider attack aircraft.  I mean ffs every darn plane that carries a bomb always goes up with it.   It's simpler than you think.  Just code out bombs on anything other than bombers .... Duh

Personally I think any plane with 3 cannons or more should also be perked regardless of performance.

This has been suggested before and the fluffers went ballistic.  It would mean that they could no longer make 10 suicide runs on the CV for instance.. that they would have some limits to their griefing.

Hmmm Imust not be a true fluffer then because I kill CV's at 8K lvl in one pass with B-26's and usually don't lose a plane. :D

Probably when there are 40 to 50players engaging in a fun furball involving said cv  at the time!   What's funny about some, is after two years of bombing cv's theystill think they're doing something!  I can sink a boat with 20,000 lbs of ordinance.................Big deal!:aok

Dude you have it all so wrong.  You need to develope the external SUICIDE dive bomb method especially on Laz cv hangers or more importantly "OUT house".  There by denying him and any other the resourses they so need.
