Title: AH Uber Bomber
Post by: SirLoin on March 29, 2003, 08:42:53 AM

The Arado!

Yes,the seldom used jet bomber...

Wanna have some fun in a bomber without spending all that time climbing out and worrying about your drones staying in formation?

Wanna take out acks and a nice chunk of enemy town ahead of a just launched mission?

Wanna scrape the deck at 390mph with 3 big bombs and reach a near base in just 4 minutes?

Wanna drop your full bomber loadout on a town everytime without having to calibrate?(Takes a few offline runs to perfect this)

Wanna drop 3K of bombs at 390 mph on a horde of Ostie's protecting a town,releasing your eggs well before their gun range?

Wanna watch nme cons shrink to mere dots as you turn back home,hit your RTA's and look behind you?

Wanna RTB at 430 mph,land,rearm and do it all over again?



Try flying a solo Arado on a barnstorming run. It's a blast!...

Wanna die once and lose the perks for 3 arados?  Unless they fixed it anyway.

lol i do those low alt 234 runs on occassion formation and all.. thats nothing new.. lol even sunk a cv at 3k doing 300mph.. Some bish might remember that considering it was a hidden cv and i was accused of having a spy lol...

i use f3 view and lead the bombs by a significant margin.. after a few drops u get a feel for when to drop.. Of couse speed determines when to drop :)

Yea, used to be that even if you took a single one up and died, you'd lose 3x the perks, as if you had taken a formation up.  I'm glad they fixed it.

I think it's fun to fly the AR-234 once in a while. It's the only bomber with perks, so you might as well use them up. I've taken an Arado up twice and not even come close to getting killed. I had a P-38 chase me once to no avail. By the way, how do the 20mm rear guns work? They're unmanable, so how do they fire. Are they automatic once a bog gets close to your six?

Thanks in advance.

2stony, just pull your trigger to fire.  Usually best to use F3 mode to aim.
