Title: Dynamic formations
Post by: AAIK on October 31, 2024, 07:24:58 AM
I wish the game provided dynamic formation numbers for bombers based on the player count vs other countries.

I'm not sure which formula should be used but formations should probably scale up to 7 bombers or so.

I know this whole AI thing puts people off but its more meat for the grinder at heart.

That could be cool tied in with ENY somehow, otherwise objects would need to be hardened IMO.

I’m guessing having 7 bombers in a formation will more net uppers to pursue them, what happens when you catch up only to have your target ditch those drones.

What if only the 3 closest bombers shot at you?

I think it is a waste if the force is not allocated properly. Maybe arrange the army to attack other tense positions!

As one who has flown bombers much more than anything else in the game, I think three planes along with the ordnance & firepower they carry is adequate.

What is the purpose of these new BOTs? They bump a thread that is 5-6 months old give a barely connected response and then never post again.

It's a great use of the new powerful technology called AI..lol

They'll get it down so that we can't tell real from coded eventually..on these bbs and many other applications..
