Title: Missing bombers
Post by: IrishBug on October 13, 2009, 09:57:01 AM

Hi, I searched high and low for an answer to this question but couldn't find anything. When I return from a B-17 bombing run, my 2 bombers that go with me are missing, and I'm way sure they didn't get hit by anyone. I was at FL 220 and I am certain the other two didn't get picked off. Any idea why this happens?

Thanks!
Long live AH2

You lost them while turning.
If you turn too hard, your drones can't keep up with you. And if they get past a certain distance, they will explode.
I recommend turning with rudder from a gunners position for smooth turns, also you may use external views to keep an eye on your drones while doing it.

I have also noticed that chopping throttle in the turn, along with doing what Lusche said, will help you turn tighter when in formation without losing your drones.

Wow, it was nice to see such a quick reply to my post, I appreciate that. I guess I'll be careful on the turns next time. If either one of you guys could reply back a link to where that information can be found, I would love to read more about it.

Thanks!

Most things you want to know can be found on the Aces High Trainer Corps Website (http://trainers.hitechcreations.com)

Also, if you turn hard before they form up with you they will be lost. You have to gain a certain amount of altitude for them to form up after takeoff, that altitude is someplace in the 200' agl range.
