Bomber auto-guns when on the scope

[715]

If anyone wishes to see how auto gunners would work I suggest you try the AvA arena.  There are AI fighters and bombers in there now and sometimes Missions are run with a lot of AI.  I tried attacking some AI bombers and got shredded almost instantly.

After flying in this arena with AI gunners enabled. I may need to restructure my earlier comment.... Not recant it, just modify it. I stated that I think there should be some form of AI gunners enabled on MA buffs... Having experienced full AI gunners, I now agree that this is NOT the answer. 

Those AI boys REALLY know there calculus and would need to be "dumbed" down a bit to be a valid supplement to a busy pilot/bomber. Otherwise, I will submit that AI gunner as is, are simply too powerful.

I'm not giving up on AI gunning for buffs, but it certainly would need some work to be acceptable. 

GREAT TIME IN THE AVA this week guys!

I agree.  Even if the auto guns went off at 1k and missed they would give the bomber pilot a warning to get out of his bomb sight and fight. Or, the auto guns could record zero damage but ping the attacking plane, that way the attacker wouldn't know if he was facing auto or manned guns and would behave more normally during his attack.  It is that dead zone of no defense when you are in your bomb sight that needs to be eliminated somehow.

No. It's not me, hissy-boy. If it was, then you'd just have this sort of issue with me and me alone.

Hissy on. 

You are the only one humping my ankle....

You're mistaking a slap upside your head in this thread over you lashing
out at the whole world for an ankle-hump. Epiphany that.

Greetings,

  I haven't 'flown' in a while, so I have a question.  I have read we have a Wingman option now.  Cool.  If we can 'slave' one set of buffs to the flight route of another, could the lead set of buffs drop bombs for the any linked formation?  If so, there is only one pilot in the scope.

Pretty much. Yes.
