"HT is currently working on the formation bomber option that will allow a single player to control a formation of 4 bombers. "

Holy moly...!
M1A1 durability, err, I mean bomber durability had better be significantly reduced to realistic areas if people are going to be able to control 4 bombers at one time.
I like the idea of bomber formations but not flying tank formations.
:mad:

Kuben,

Bombers are, if anything, too fragile in AH.

Twelve hits with a 50 cal can completely remove a Lancaster's wing.

absolutely karnak.  Right now the problem is really gun leathality on bombers (all guns controlled by one guy aimed at one plane).  With the new implementation, hopefully multi crewed bombers will happen, and this can be disposed of, bomber strength improved, and give fighters a better chance at pinging and getting away, not necessarily killing but at least damaging.

... brings me to the question how buff gunners will be controlled in a 4 buff formation!!?!

We gonna get the feared (maybe needed) otto? Or does that mean you have like 20 buff guns shooting at one spot (through each other without any penalty)????

That's gonna bring a whole new meaning to the word "AckStar" in that case, Kirin :)

Finally, a Pac war release!   From the tone of Pyro's post, I'm going to set my countdown clock to the end of June, and anticipate 8-10 new aircraft.

We've already got Boston III, A20G, F4F-4, FM-2, A6M2, and P-40E.   I'm going to guess that two more will be the SBD and the Val.
 
Outside chances of also seeing either a Flying Tiger's P-40B, P-40N, A6M3, Ki.44, or B5N Kate.

Still hoping to see a Ki.84, and wouldn't be disappointed at all to see the Judy and the Helldiver in the naval divebomber roles.

Where did you get the idea that those guns converged?  (hint: they all shoot straight in the same direction.)  I do however agree with you on the fuselage thing.
