Title: Bombers should be able to shoot through friendlies
Post by: Ray77 on February 07, 2013, 07:07:07 AM

If I'm attacking a formation from 3 o'clock co-alt shouldn't the rounds from the middle and wayward bomber be shielded by the outside drone?   I'm not saying this should be a kill shooter situation.

Including the top guns, even though there is nothing in their way?

Like a magic force shield?

1. I read the subject line and thought: "Huh? He wants bomber guns to pass through friendly planes? So bombers don't have to worry about green guys flying around trying to protect them?"

2. I thought it already worked where if a bomber's guns don't have clear line-of-sight to the direction the player is firing, those guns don't fire. It might be a shortcoming in the film viewer that it looks like they shoot, but in the game I thought they didn't.

You might be right.
