Perking Bomb load out's

[SEraider]

We aint using bomb perks for anything else and AR-234's are not exactly in high demand.

This could cut down furball killing high altitude bombing and ruining others fun.

You can perk bomb loadouts when I can take fuel down to 25%.

Would cut down on those TnB hotshot jocks not trying to win the war.



Seriously? Youd have to reset bomber perks......I have been playing 3 months and have over 500 perks. I hate buff running tooo.....

I don't know about the loadout.  I generally fly Lancs with squaddies, and if we are going to hit hangers, we take the 14 1000lbers.  If we are going for the town, the 18 500lbers and 1 4000lber does wonders with .30 delay (keeping the 4000lber for hangers of course).  The bombers in game all have their weakness (eg. B24 speed and guns make up for the loadout, Lancs loadout make up for the guns).  But to agree with you, the 234 sucks IMO.  That being said, we don't go for ruining peoples furballing fun.  We go for strategic base takes (yes, we are the ones doing some of the map taking).  It seems to be more difficult to perk the loadouts in a bird rather than perking the bird itself.  I wouldn't mind having to pay some (5-10 perks) for my lancs though, just to use some of my perkies.  But, then again, I don't really care about perks in a bomber.

IIRC some of our bomb loadouts were pretty rare. Dunno which and how rare, but it's been an unchallenged point so I'd say it's accurate.
The perk loadout system would be great. It'd put some of the rarer loadouts back in their correct proportions (e.g. 3-gun la7), and would allow us to have some of the really rare but historical loadouts, e.g. some of the Il2 or Me410 weapon loadouts, or some of the higher octane fuel loadouts.

Dont get me wrong it would definitely be nice to have some new perk candy.

Some of the loadouts on fighters were rare.  None of the loadouts on bombers were rare.

I was thinking of some of the Il2's loadouts.. Are all those you see in Il2 (the game) common?

And Steel, there's so many unused perks from years of accumulation, in so many accounts, that we'd prolly have to have either a reset or a new perk point category when they roll out the perk loadout system.

+1 I totally agree. Wouldn't effect me any but I think it would make the game a little more realistic. Ordanance wasn't free in real life...now I know this isn't real life, I think it would give some use of Bomber Perks for you bomber guys

I'd try giving level bombers free bombs. Making them cost something if you divebombed them. Also if you died within a certain short time of release (suiciding). I'd make them a bit more expensive for fighters, so that it'd encourage more bombers in the game... I would make it easy enough to earn perks for bombs though, so you didnt have to grind for long to earn em.

That could be a way to particulary encourage more light bombers.. TBM, SBD, Ju87, along with Ju 88s, Ki67s or Bostons

Perk drones, then you'll have something to spend the perks on.

IMO all bombs over 500lb (250kg) could be perked.

[Steel]

Why?

Perking bombs over 500lbs does no good on some planes. They carry the same total regardless of 500lb or 1000lb bombs. It's just another attempt to get people to play your way. This is a classic furballers whine so if you dont like them bombing you up a plane and kill them....

The best option is to fix the dive bombing part by fixing the bomb release.....not the bombs.

Perk ord options then bring back 25% fuel!

it's an ok idea

but they just need add another bomber to use thos perks on and no it doesn't have to be a b-29 so don't start yelling at me

there has to be another WWII bomber that deserves perking, maybe a b25h with more HE ammo? of course I, as of I'm sure most of you would prefer an entirly new bomber to use those perks on, maybe theres another german bomber? I'll look around my WWII aircraft encylopedia see if anything catches my eye, nothings coming to mind at the moment.
