If the ability to change the formation that bomber drones fly in is already available...I would appreciate the info.
Right now bombers with drones fly around in tight little triangle formations, it would be nice if we could change that formation with dot commands...increase the distance between planes...formation configurations...even put a drone in the lead.
Also, how hard would it be to make it possible to set a bomb detonation delay...like no more than 5 seconds?

You do know you can change which bomber you are gunning for?

Yes but that doesn't change the formation...I'm talking about telling the drones to line up abreast...echelon left...echelon right...staggered alt...etc...

Are you wanting this for a better target saturation? :D I can get behind that now! :aok

Yyyyyyyeeeeessssss That is exactly what I'm looking at.

can just picture the tards making single file lines on a cv

Is that not what they would have done in real life? It's a CV not a city

For three years now I have had no difficulty in picturing everyone on the team failing to climb to stop the bombers so why not picture single file bombers? Against a turning CV a change in formation types might even make it easier to hit the boat.
Even with this change there is a good chance that the boat will not be there when the bombers arrive once you realize the endless conga line of strafing noobs in every conceivable plane they can get their hands on has been trying to kill the boat the entire time the bomber is climbing.
I have come to realize the guys that whine about people dropping hangars and killing fights are just another form of 'tards' (I would say whiners) as you put it.

I can tell you fail to see the good point in a single file line of bombers...the pile-it is in the front plane and wouldn't be able to jump to the tail gun of the trailing plane in time to stop you from killing it...and you wouldn't have 6 tail guns firing at you at the same time.
There is always a bright side.

+1 and I don't see any good reason for not having that option.

Actually, for bombing large targets like the new strats I'd love to be able to set formation to Echelon left, or right.
They already switch to a "line astern" for landing.

Good idea
+1 :aok

I am not much of a bomber fellow, but seems like a good request...

Good request. The fighter dweebs know what bomber you are in and instantly target you so, with the ability to change the formations you could put a drone in front of formation and you last ect. Just to make it interesting why not add a 4th drone? :cool:
-
The best way to implement the formation changes is not in type of formation but in altitude of drones. Make one go low and the other high.

you then'll have to set drop on each plane.

Right now, the bombsights are geared for speed first then altitude to some degree. If a drone was 100 feet lower or higher the altitude difference would be negligible. After an altitude difference of 3000 ft., maybe then a new calibration would be in order.

How about adding 3 more to the formation? while were on the subject; What happened to the radio operators gun? If you loose the top turret your outta luck, we need that position, and AI gunners would be nice like in the offline. Too many times people are killing bombers that were not that easy to get that close to, some realism with them would be appreciated, bombers were dangerous to get up to, not fly in and smoke em, move to the next.

That would be particularly useful for the Ju 88's on a torpedo run!

Yep I agree. When I flew in WB's the AI's were deadly and you could gun in that position also as a human gunner. :cool:

Same here in WB you could change Formation style good for defence ore send AI drones to land on other fields
