Title: AI bomber missions in main arena
Post by: Jed on October 30, 2016, 09:12:49 AM
Sure this has already been wished upon. HAving a Flight of AI bombers sent to strats or Designated targets every hour will add immensely to the game play! Escorts, attacking bombers, joining into these formations mid flight somehow. bringing the fight out of the dirt adds dimension! PLease consider if Not already working on. MR. HItech dude

Allow the use of perks to spawn in ai bombing runs, I don't know about ai escorts. (level bombing only)

Fine, then allow me to send up 100 163s at the same time. You know, because I have the perkies for it.

No it will add to your laziness for flying to the strats yourself
Escorts, attacking bombers, joining into these formations mid flight somehow. bringing the fight out of the dirt adds dimension! YEP pure laziness. I'm 99.99% sure that they are not working on this silly idea

why o why do they always say--> will add immensely to the game play or -->bringing the fight out of the dirt adds dimension! I always thought bombers were in the sky not in the dirt--hmm haven't flown any for awhile--maybe I should check it out

There isn't anybody flying to the strats anymore. And it has absolutely nothing to do with being lazy. Flying around for 2 hours with very little action is what I am getting right now. THis concept already works in other flight simulations .

But change is scary! I grew up on AH1 in 1999 and it was perfect back then so it's perfect today!

dude what game are you playing--because it ain't AH3-the strats get hit everyday bish rooks love hitting our strats allday everyday--knights not so much-because we don't really care..
this isn't other flight sims-its AH3-the best there is-nuff said

I like this idea! Finally we'll have a use for those thousands of perks we've saved up with nothing to use on. :aok
+1!
And Latrobe-you don't even play anymore-why u talkin here?

East Coast and unless I am chasing guys in ack the action has stalled out. SO I came to the wish list section and made a post that I believe will enhance the game. I should know better, as most would rather attack such a wish and pretend everything is great. FRiday night 140 or so logged in... I wish for more simulation and less arcade game. I feel I might be a minority..

Not particularly. Where you are definitely in the minority is the desire for AI in the MA. A ton of people despise that idea. I'd personally rather fly against people than AI as well. I'd rather find something else to do than fly against AI.

I get it, and agree. Wishing to use the al bombers as bait. To fly against humans that aren't within safety of field ack or other players who can re-up after being shot down.

The problem I see with it is they'd need to be able to do significant damage to attract defenders, or they'd get ignored.
That would open up a few unlovely side effects. One being during low number times they'd likely have free reign to hit strats. Automated strat raids, I just can't see it being a good thing debilitating a side's capabilities without humans having to put in the effort.

for the first few weeks, but after the banked up perks are used up. depending on the price I don't see them being used that often.

I wonder what the typical town center dropper's perk gain per hour is like... Lusche! To the spreadsheet!
Depends on plane choice and perk multiplier, but unless you fly B-29, averaging 20 perks per hour is easily doable even for a rookie. As a matter of fact, you will even get that by simply doing strat resupply runs in a C-47. An experienced player who is explicitly farming bomber perks can make something like 40 perks per hour average & sustained.
That are numbers an AH fighter pilot can only dream about.

If I could find more Trains I would shoot at them. THey seem to be rare finds unless your at the strats .

To my knowledge they haven't been introduced to AH III yet. And there was nothing 'AI' about them, they just rolled a set route every 10 minutes. Artificial Intelligence would at least indicate some degree of ability to react.

+1 for AI bomber missions.
Edit: It would also be cool to be able to join the AI bombers as gunners as well.

It follows a pre determined path/route It has a mission to supply or destroy It defends its self It can be shot at and destroyed
Train or plane?

Didn't realize they might not be there. Although I could swear I can recall seeing barges since AH3, I could be wrong. When things happen doesn't particularly stick in my mind most of the time.
They may not be AI, but what would the AI difference be between a train and a bomber mission? It is going along a predetermined route and it will gun at enemies.

Especially if it was at scheduled times during the day/evening/night. Might be also nice if you could jump into one of those AI bombers and take control of the flight. :devil
