Title: Idea for getting more use out of the plane set please read
Post by: Sachs on November 09, 2001, 10:19:00 PM

Well after going thru and seeing stats for planes that are used.  I think it is fair to say why not add an attack option for the ju88 and the TBM?  The IL-2 is both why can't these?  JU88 has dive flaps for what?  Landing?  Don't think so, TBM has rockets for what?  Sinking ships?  How many TBM's do you see sink a ship in here?  Give us an attack option, and an ability to gather perk points as well.  SO what does everyone think about these 2 having a different class of attack added on?  What would it hurt?

I like that idea.  Wouldn't hurt a thing, nor limit anybody's access to any aircraft.

I am all for that one as well.  Just used the 88 and TBM because of usage.  26 is quite used but I am all for making it attack as well  :)

i agree if it has rockets it should have the attack sortie. i fly the 88, il2 and tbm some times mainaly in short bombing runs the further u fly away from home the less likly u are to return in one of these.

Only if the bombsight is deactivated in Attack scoring mode.  I wouldn't think it'd be very fair for a TBM or JU88 to fly over a target at altitude using the bombsight to hit perfectly while someone JABOing in a P47, for example, has to dive bomb to garner the same amount of perk points that can be applied to get fighter aircraft.  Or have perk points gained reduced for these two aircraft for using bombsight in Attack scoring mode.  Overall, I like the idea though.   :)

Definitely would Like to see this option in the near future being able to gather  fighter perks in Bombers in attack form in the selection screen.

nifty the ju88 can dive bomb and the tbm has rockets I dont see why it would matter if it has a bombsite or not,

Killing gvs in a buff is easy now with a bombsite so what difference does it make whether theres an "attack" catagory for the tbm or ju88

YUp another one that needs the attack option.  I am all for the modes to be fair and KI-61 carries bombs, yet no attack option?
