Extra Drone for bomber perks

[daddog]

Not so much a wish, but an idea.

How about allowing players to spend some bomber perks by adding a 3rd drone if they choose for a diamond formation of 4 bombers? If I recall when HTC first added 'drones' they had a total of 3 drones, not the 2 we currently have. If that code is still written in maybe it would be simple to add. A player could simply have another option next to the check box for formations and check for a 3rd drone using X number of bomber perks.

Or just perk formations and leave single planes unperked.

+1 either way

I like this idea, what else do we have to spend it on and it gives a sense of risk.  
This way you don't see the {arcade style of play} like flying tanks hovering over a town or the lancstuka over a field that will have little risk or consequence of losing extra planes......

Great Idea!

+1

I am all for this a big 1+ But we have then put in if we decide to put a diamond formation in the rear aircraft will either have to be lower then the lead plane for the tail gunners or else the lead plane will just be shooting down his own drone. if this goes through which it should totally. then the option of picking formation types should be added as well. like the finger four right, finger four left, left eshilon and right eshilon. but all in all i am all for the four ship formation

Add the drone please

a 2 drone group gives good gunsight line ups on enemy aircraft attacking you and allows the destruction of hangars in one pass/one drop. its also accurate to WWII formations (also iirc the best defensive strategy for bombers).

Man you guys read my mind

I thin thats a good idea in the sense that it is how they did fly in WW2...but hen again those Bombers shoot down Soooooooo Many planes with little effort that I think it would make going after Bombers a "Screw that" kind of thing

+1 and have a scroll bar to select how many you want 10 perks for every extra

I still think we should have a formation select option, but +1 for the extra drone.

I'd say we should stay with the historically accurate 3-plane formation, but only Thundregg's group flies in formation!

id like to see the drones be above and back and below and back like thndreggs pic. it may make things easier for bombers.
