Would be good to be able to select 1 or 2 drones, then position them where you want them.

Yeah, I like the idea of re-positioning the drones. Defensively it would be better to have a "box" formation instead of a flat "triangle" and a fourth bomber couldnt hurt. Of course, thats why they have bomber missions: to coordinate and group together many bombers for a staunch defense.

I see what he's saying...i like it. :aok  Not one or two boxes of drones, just one or two individual drones.  I think it might be able to be factored in sooner or later, it's not a massively huge request

Or the option to purchase 1-2 extra drones and the ability to change formations.

One player acting as 3 bombers isn't enough???  Think of how missions would be with more than 3 bombers per person :O

Why not?

Maybe then you could tone down the laser accurate JDAM's we have now.

What else are you going to spend perks on? You have to try and get killed in the AR-234.

I don't.  I've gotten disco'd in 9 of them so far this camp.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

It is an old but good idea to make the purchasing of the drones use perk points.


However, instead of just a flat cost per, I would like to see an increasing cost per drone.  Something like 4 points for first, 16 for the second, 32 for the third...

Either make that additive, or total.  So either 32 perks for 3 drones, or 52 perks for 3 drones.

Went a little off track here. The original wish was to be able to select 1 drone (only) or two drones. And to be able to position them in trail , echelon right or left , out in front ,ect. And set the distance relative to the lead ship.

Ive asked for this many times here. I'd love to see a setting where you can spread out your formation some in order to bomb area targets more effectively, or even for more effective defense. Its silly for a 262 to be able to attack from the side and kill all 3 bombers in one pass by spraying his full 30mm ammo load. Granted its only happened to me when I was busy with fighters elsewhere but still?? Its unrealistic.

Mostly tho I'd like more control over bomb load dispersion on area targets. Some targets you do better with a tight formation and some you would do better spreading it out some. Im not talking a large formation spread control but we should have some ability to control our formation spread distance and airplane placement in the formation.
