Ability to Alter Bomber Formations....
« on: October 12, 2008, 08:12:26 PM »
Is it possible for hitech to give us the ability to give us the option to alter our Bomber formations in the air? Meaning by a input command the drone bombers will assume another formation I.E Echelon Right, left, Diamond, Arrow... Etc.


It would be a great idea in my opinion and would actually make large formations a beautiful sight and the ability to alter the drones location in formation. Plus it would add a level of tactics while forming up Huge raids into specific formation types.

Just my $.02   :salute

First thing's first, I'd like to see the drone leash tightened up.

Stop Buffs from running full throttle while drones maintain perfect formation, and diving to ludicrous speed and pulling the insane evasive maneuvers they like they do now.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Also to go long with that is to have the drones follow your every move a little tighter ... dont know how many times I lost drones on take off because i went to avoid crashing into hill.

Simple solution: Don't take off into a hill. :p

Just too sdd to this a bit.
What I'd like to see is this.
The faster the buffs go the looser the formations gets. This does a few things.
1. Makes the leash easier to break.
2. More dispersion on bomb drops.
3. Spreads out defensive fire.
This would be at firewalled throttle only.

Under normal power goes back to as is now.
