Bombers are rewarded for landing, just like fighters are:

- Landing message (will get you similar attention to fighters if you land a lot of kills)
- Twice the score points
- Perks

Let us not forget.  :old:

"I'm not here to fight AI"  :furious


 :P

Have AI take over their bombers when they bail. They can't take off in another bomber/C47 till the AI makes it back, or is shot down.

They can still up fighter or attack.

That would be fine with me, though the issue of "how accurate to make them" comes to mind.  Aside from that, I think this idea sound nice...on paper.  Won't stop them from lawndarting though.

Let's entertain it a little though:

Someone bail's, they cannot up any other planes with a bomber tag until the AI lands the birds or is shotdown.  Keeping them from upping a C-47 would keep them from "sneaking" a base right after, which means someone else has to take a 47 if the target base has no v-spawn to it for an M3.  They lose a minimum of 75% of perks earned from the run.

Huh, there are obvious holes, but it might lead to something.

Bombers and gv issues ....

Lets remove them both and make it an a2a sim again

That would fix the base capture complaints too as there would be none :)

Bail when you see another plane before you drop your ords? If you have no chance of making it to the target at least hit the deck and make them work for the kill!

Not a bad idea.  :aok
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

If you land the damage, the damage you did stays damaged longer. That’d be cool.

Whoa, who is this guy?

i would say only 5% of the time i see somebody above me.  if that's the case if i have a chance to pork, i will,  either by diving or avoiding.

if I don't I'll drop ords and depending on aircraft I'll amuse myself or fight.  nikis are funny, they will dive with you straight down then compress.
