Title: ADDITIONAL GUNNERS TO BOMBERS
Post by: DCCBOSS on March 26, 2008, 01:40:31 PM
Would it be possible to add one gunner to each bomber your flying for a total of three gunners, not including you as the pilot. This would be very helpfull when your getting jumped by 3 or more fighters. What do you guys think about it?

Lag issues is what prevents it from happening.

I'm thinking it's HT's way of getting the bomber pilots to actually have to exercise instead of bomb and bail. :rofl All that running back an forth is good for you. :D Seriously though it's a good idea and i think it's been brought up a few times. The lag issue has always kept them from putting it into the game if i remember correctly. It would be nice if you could at least have 3 total, 2 manning, then you jumping in the unmanned if attacked for a total of 3 manned guns. They can put 2 in fighter/attack, gv, bomber, i don't think adding a single one should be to hard to do in a bomber formation. Then again i'm not a computer programmer...........but i did stay at a holiday inn once. :D

Understood, but it's a shame that they can't overcome this problem easily. :(

Take lessons from 999000. Then you will never ask for this again.

The trade-off is that you get to have the firepower of 3 bombers for only one pilot.  Fwiw, some of the bomber pilots in this game are excellent shots, and attacking their 3-ship formations is always a dicey proposition.

I wish it could be done as well.  In Air Warrior, you had the ability to up a fully manned B-17 and attacking a 'Deathstar' was a very hair raising endeavor.
