Title: For bombers....
Post by: Joc on July 17, 2002, 09:48:31 AM

Now we got 'improved' bombing,and now have to 'carpet bomb' a target,how about giving the Mosquito or Ju88 or any twin engined bomber the ability to 'mark' a target with green smoke? with black smoke obscuring most of a factory or field,it would be nice for someone to mark the target with target indicators for a formation of bombers to bomb on.
 Also,a request to future map makers,lets NOT have any more damn hills at the end of a runway,might be fine for fighters,but NOT for a formation of bombers fully loaded or on finals,nothing worse than hitting a target well,fighting your way through fighters and getting all your formation home only to lose most of your aircraft to a damn hill that would not be there in real life.
 Id like to see AH become more of a simulation than an arcade game it seem to be becoming,now we got serious bombing,lets hope we see some serious and 'real' maps.

hmmmm..this smoke thing got me wondering..if a few tanks upped with lots o' smoke and lobbed smoke rounds all over their own base/city for a smoke screen.. would that be seen from bomber alt? has this ever been tried?

How about late war "MICKEY" bombing lead aircraft?  Bomb by radar reflection thru clouds...
