Title: Arado Formation lost--180 perks gone!!
Post by: tofri on July 05, 2002, 04:42:33 AM: I started yesterday a Arado Formation .
Stood on the runway, started the engine and accelleratd.
At 100mph I engaged the ratos and leave my formation and short after I saw them explode behind me.

When I landed 120perks were gone.
This means 60 perks for every plane of the Formation.

This is far too much for a almost useless plane.

So obviously the RATO isn't synced. I got to admit I was a little skeptical when I saw that the 234 was capable of formations. Given how tenuous the link is between the conventional buffs in formation, the higher speed seemed to be asking for trouble.

I actually think that the formation should be disabled for the Arado. Historically, they hardly ever flew in formation, but often singly. There's no defensive benefit from formation.

Post by: texace on July 05, 2002, 01:26:33 PM: Hmm...I guess it's no everyone. I took off today with an Arado formation 3 times, and each time they caught up and stuck with me. Even when RATO's were engaged they seemed to catch up after a few minutes...
