Because people would type in something like 999000 and fill the skies with lag, while skilled bomber pilots (i.e., see earlier) can suffice just fine with only 3.

Up to 4 is already coded.  They are available when making offline missions.

Taking from what I've heard, giving the ability to add more bombers to a formation would be a nightmare for the ground tiles of the MA.

No thanks.

For 25 perks (no refund) I would like it.

Edit: For one extra plane....

     Like they said it would cause so much lag with huge amounts of lag if someone could take up even 20 bombers! Personally I think it is fine the way it is but if really wanted I think the 4 bombers with perk points and no refund would be acceptable.

I could see it now.....999000 with 10 bombers in a spread formation.

Burning wreckage falling from air.....base looks like Hiroshima.

There are "skilled bomber pilots" besides 999000???? :devil

I would be happy with being able to alter the 3 bomber formation..  I.E. make it tighter, or looser..   like .form 200 = bombers D200 from eachother.. etc etc..  make it possable to space them from D50 to D1k or so..  would make them more useful for hitting different types of targets.

3 tops, any more would be beyond nightmarish.

I think we need bigger targets to hit, not bigger bomber formations.  We dont need any more then 3 bombers per pilot.

Take the city model we have now (strat city, not base town) and DOUBLE it in size.  Ditto for the flak, barracks, and radar factories. 

And while HTC is at it, perhaps that can add in MORE auto ack and MORE puffy ack to EVERYTHING to help defend it.  I think it should be suicide to attack anything below 7k alone.  That goes for even the small airbases and veh bases as well.

One bomber flight or a single jabo can already do too much damage, imo.

I made a thread about that a couple months back.  I would like this idea.  If going for hangers, the way it is now is great, but going for town or strats, having 3 bombs hit the same building is pretty much useless.
