Sigh, you've just made a complete fool of yourself.

After being given advice and help you go on to blaiming "trolls" because people don't agree with you.

I'll let you in on a lil secret, when posting sugestions/comments/demands or whatever, there will always be people who DO NOT AGREE with you.

Accept it.

"mouth breather" is a put down????
:huh


I'm wagering that the planes that keep shooting the good sgt down are the...Niki, the pony, the lala, and the G10....




In any case, let me put the issue simply for you, as the more complete and (apparently) more difficult to understand explanations ably provided above havent made much impression.

When you challenge the entire enemy air force by doing a deep penetration raid alone, you are like a cow carcass in the pirhana pool. The predators will swarm until you are gone.

You have to get shot down three times to end your flight and your flying a death star. Very few times can I attack a bomber formation and live.  And you complain. Geeze....

I think maybe bomber pilots should have to wait at least 10 seconds before they can switch planes. If they hit the ground before then...Oh well......Should have been higher.


i dont got enough perkies as it is and i like upen my lancs to kill 1 dang t 34 or wirble its fun droping 42 bombs

lmao  But i bet you want the fighter pilots get the 30 sec to up delay .
Tell ya what perk formations , eliminate god view , and make buffs use bomb sight in the level bombers. Then you can talk about a 30 sec delay.
Also eliminate the jump possiton untill ya loose  the plane you are in.

uhhhh,  we *do* need the b-25  it was too important to be left out.

Of course some other bombers would be cool too like the he-111, do-217, russian junk that i have no clue about, betty and some other ija fire-bombs-waiting-for-a-match.

we do *not* however, need the b-29.
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.

Bite me. I want the B-25.

Lmao this was one of the most used bombers during ww2.
Now as for the b29 wasn't used till the near end of the war. So in my opinion should be one of the LAST planes to enter the plane set.
So many holes in the early plane set you could drive a semi-truck through it.

I want to start a bomb group modeled after the 376th heavy bombardment group. I will be the co as the 376th and will have an xo, who will be the 515th squad. there are two other squads to represent. each squad needs a pilot, and at least 1 gunner. i would like to have at least 2 squads in the air o fight in missions, and in the main combat arena. fighter pilots are welcome to join in the plane of their choice (allied only) as long range escorts. this is still in the planning stages, but if your interested please reply to this. remeber, with bombers there is safety in numbers!

OK....  Heres my .02 cents. How bout the ability to carry multiple gunners like we had in Air Warrior and up a deathstar!:D  I can remember taking part in and lingering over Fighter Town in Big Pac arena in a deathstar and landing 15 -20 kills on a regular basis in a death star. Also if the person in the particular position gets killed the others can switch and fight over it just like in AW. :lol  I'd rather have it that way anyhow! I also agree that the B-25 has a lot of historical signifigance and deserves to be in the plane set!!:aok

I know what you meen, i just realized last night that you can only have 1 gunner per plane. That just means that i'm gonna need more planes to do this right. 5 gunners per plane would be great, 3 planes 15 positions, that would be a formidable force. so i'll just beef up the number or bombers, and recruit more escorts.
