Thats a bad thing?  This is a sim right?  how many B17's or Lancs or any other 4 engine bombers went in during the day less then 25k?  Perking these bombers even at 30 a formation would at least reduce the number of "gamers" upping lancs to dive bomb a GV.  It may actually force these guys to learn how to fly and bomb correctly, or "historically"


It can be a bad thing for several reasons.
It's not really a sim when it comes to gameplay. If you want to force guys to fly "correctly", why only for buff drivers? I say: Perk all fighters too That will teach them to fight historically instead of furballing close to the ground.  :neener:

You mean they didn't really fly between buildings like in the movie???   :O

Its not really a sim at all......  But it is a fun game.

the only way i would agree to perking the heavy bombers, is that any plane with an eny of 15 or lower should also have a perk price.
this would only be fair to all.

I'd be happy with a more complex targeting.

Like the manual bomb site used in the AVA? Bet buff use would fall through the floor if they used it in the MA.

I'm not so sure about that. It will take a hit (players switching to good ole 110g), but fall through floor? IMHO probably not. It's a thing relatively easy to adapt to. (MA was actually using this setting years ago)

I doubt it.. Manual calibration is not that hard.. In fact I'd prefer it in the MA to the cheesy auto cal. currently used..  :rock

I think the problem with the bombers isn't the bomb load, it is the lack of good targets for the bombers. Right now, the only way they can effect game play is to hit airfields. If that was to change (ie strats being re-hashed), I think you'd find less porking at airfields.
Maybe put a city near a large airfield, or 10 perks for a set of buffs. Single bombers not effected. Just throwing ideas out there.

Maybe 30 perks for wingman in fighters. Get shot down hit enter keep fighting hehe, wishful thinking. :D :rofl

Yes I know it takes away from the fun of the dedicated bomber dudes but you guys should have more than enough perks to keep a good stash of bombers in the hangar for all kinds of flights.

By perking them into the 60 points+ per flight range (starting cost would be 20 points per plane in a formation) that should eliminate some of the whiners on the new radar settings. While I don't agree with the settings the only way for HTC to truly address this is to turn the planes like the Mossie and 110's into bombers and not "attack/fighter bombers" and perk the crap out of them. Plus you actually have to return the plane to the ground to get your points...no more of the dash and die bomber crap.

Yeah its not very well thought you but so be it.
I don't believe HTC should have to address anything. The ones that are complaining need to address THEIR issues.

 The new guys need the big bombers unperked so they they can take part in the game and still feel like they're having some kind of impact in the game.
IMO this new dar setup is just want was needed to get the AR234 out and about. No need to change a bunch of stuff in the game just because of a radar change  :rolleyes: Just use your head.

Well said, it's the end of the world every time HTC changes something; eventually everyone adapts and forgets exactly how the change has ruined the game.

I learned to bomb with the old method. Still wish (after six years of easy-mode) we had it back.
