Title: Fully Mannable Bomber Positions
Post by: Sundiver on January 29, 2003, 07:12:40 AM

Let one player man each position on a bomber, a B17 has a total of eight mannable positions. Let eight player's join the bomber.

Full bomber crews with intraship comm would be fun.

There is no special channel that I am aware of, but the Range channel works well enough.... or you can tune any channel, or tune each other personally.  :)

Sorry, Flossy, the Range channel doesn't cut it for serious buffing - too many others can be on the same channel.  Having two channels that can be freely tunable (like the text channels) would do the job, if there's a channel specifically for all those manning a single plane (or trio of planes, nowadays) (I'll admit I'm not as well up as I might be on the tunable options available).

Depends on the situation, but I think pilots and gunners being able to talk to escorts during "serious buffing" runs is definitely a plus, and something I often wished we could do in AW.  OK, in the MA there may be situations where there are too many others in range, but generally I think the Range works very well.    :)
