Title: bomber formations - more important than medals
Post by: gyrene81 on June 10, 2011, 09:35:04 AM: it has been asked for before and it would be a very nice feature to have...allow players to change the bomber formations from the mundane 3 plane v formation. could be either a dot command or maybe check boxes in the e6b.

the formation change should also change the bomb dispersion instead of all bombs from the 3 planes hitting the exact same spot.

+1 sounds good, but I think it would require a coding change to the bomber AI so might take a while to implement.

just the formations, not the numbers... line abreast, echelon left/right, perhaps even allowing staggered alt (maintaining distance of course).
