and as for the teamwork conflict, it really isnt a big deal.

thats 50...

I have been part of 50+ person bomber raids, thats 150 planes +...

frame rate was in the single digits for many many of the pilots.

I wouldn't mind being able to get additional bombers for my formation, but I think you would have to limit it to 3 additional bombers maximum. Even with only 3 additional bombers, gunnery is going to be a problem since I am in the lead bomber.

The idea would be great if the CT technology lets each bomber gun for itself, and you were just leading the drones to target (which would be more realistic anyway).

It would also be nice to be able to specify the formation somehow - box, line abreast, line astern, etc. The problem with that was that you would typically have a high and low squadrons - a combat box of 20 bombers would typically have 6 in the lead, and 7 in the high and low squadrons. I don't know how HT could model that, or if it would be worth all the programming effort.

Still, I'd like something besides the Ar-234 to spend all those bomber perks on.

Sounds nice, but once again, goes back to team-work. Instead of having huge rading missions which are a "team-effort". You've got half the effort to work with. There has to be a limit, seriouslly, considering that some of these people have massive stock-piles of perks. You just can't have a huge formation of these birds flying overhead expecting each one to be an individual!

Some have mentioned 3 is max, I say 2. Although this sounds un-realistic, place the 2 underneath the already provided 2 drones. That would clear up any gunnery problems with the exception of some alignment. Plus then you would know if it's 1 formation your attacking, or 3.

Also, limit these options to particular aircrafts. So that way you dont have formations of C-47's flocking at you which are in particular drones. Limiting the "buy more drones" to particular bombers would aid to keep the AH "team-work" spirit alive.

How about paying another 100 bomber perks for two AI controlled fighter escorts.....

Come on guys.

Just need a pe-8 or a grandslam bomb on a lanc.

However i do agree we need stuff to spend bomber perks on.....

That sounds awesome, then goes back to the AI code. How will AH make a code to where you have escort fighters that will defend you?

re: A-26B-60-DL Invader

Yeah, they'd have to perk it like a Me262, but I'd pay the price to fly that bird!

6K of bombs on the GV'ers then massive strafing attacks..... and the ability to outrun much of the planeset. And 2 turrents. Fun.......

Not to mention filming the first dweeb that tried to HO me.......

I'd be flying high buffs more often again just to earn points to play with it.

Seriously, something other than 262 for buff perkies.... or allow me to turn them in for fighter or GV perks at 2 for 1 ratio......

There are several bombers that would be perked.

The A-26 Invader.
The Mosquito B.Mk XVI.
The B-29A Superfortress.

One or more of those is sure to be added at some point in the future.

I'd definitely pay for that Mossie with the 4,000Lb Can'0'Bomb! A-26 would be fun, but I doubt we'll ever see a B-29.

Hitech or anyone at HTC does not have access to the wish list its just here so we can amuse ourselves.

Sort of funny.... Krusty has a thread in the General Discussion looking to get rid of the drones because..yadda..yadda..yadda. ...

And here, we have the idea of adding MORE drones to the flight for spending some perkies.

Kind of thig to give fiter jocks the case of the hives and nightmares.

"Buff Drivers Are Paying Customers Two, HTC!" (and, ultimately, Arados are not all that great......).

Wouldnt beable to give bomber pilots anything without giving 2 of something better to fighter pilots.

ABout this idea. If you search back this has been brought up a few times. My opinion is that it would be cool. But I think a new bomber would be a better way to spend perks.

I can't see htc adding more drones because the formations would constantly be used for killing the HQ by one guy at a time. Take 10 Lancasters and the odds are, enough will get through. Next, imagine the strat dead all over the map, killed by a single dedicated buff squad in each country.
