I don't know if there will be bombers or not but I don't think there will be. And if not I'm just going to get like 5 buddys in galaxys and drop tanks onto the enemy positions because having no bombs is kind of dumb when it comes to war games, I mean just look at the US, like 75% of all are fighting is from the air to the ground. I do think there should be a limit to the number of bombers if there are any because I don't want 24/7 bombers everywere and no ones on the ground.

There's no bomber because...well...no reason except that we're out of time. No guarantees for later...but a three-person flying craft is on the wish list as something we might like to see after release. No idea if it will be a bomber or not. We just simply haven't had those brainstorm sessions yet.

Bombers might be a cool idea but they need a better balance regulater than limiting it or it will become a BF1942 thing and everybody will rush to get the few bombers avaiable. :)

BOY VIC,

You slacking? I saw this post a while back, comon, get on the ball man :D !!!

[MrVicchio]

Hmph!

I am not slacking, I like to post them in groups, they WILL be seperate threads tho...

BUT, that being said, I DO have a life (I know I know).... And I was playing Counter Strike with my clan [ReTrY]. Need to keep the FPS juices flowing ya know.

[Navaron]

HAHAHAHA I KNOW YOURE NOT SLACKING

Believe me, I won't ever say anything negative to you again after last time. I've played you ReTrY guys before, it might have been in CS, but it's been a while. All I remember was grabbing my ankles.....

[MrVicchio]

It was CS, unless you played DoD on the GoGoGo servers.. then it was just me BUT....

That sounds about right, grabbing your ankles...

[Hamma]

[afex]

:mad:

[Tobias]

would it pwn a prawn?

[Kriege]

I think it should be more of a T2 bomber, used but not way to overrated like BF1942 lol.

[Sputty]

I think to counter act the BF1942 rush to the bomber and then the inevitable TKing by idiots throwing temper tantrums they should make any bomber need alot of prerequisites to get it. Basically they'd need to plan to be a pilot and not want to get other certs.

[Psycho21]

Good idea squatty. Also, bombers could have a very limited payload and be extra vulnerable to explosion damage, making it dangerous to fly one. The interface could make it hard to drop bombs right on target - no lock-ons or other such mechanisms. Bombers could, however, prove a distinct advantage, not so much in taking bases as open-field battles.

[MrVicchio]

Uhm...

There will be no need to counter people mad they did not get to fly... if you have the cert,go grab one from the hanger... there is no spawn time.

[Coliostro]

I was just thinking about it and how easy it would be to add bombers with a patch early on. Think about it. You don't even have to put in another ship...just take out the passenger room on a Galaxy and turn it into a bomber.

[Sputty]

I dom't think they'd do that. And it would be alot of work to program in bombs, which I don't think they have any freefall weapons.

[Doobz]

what do u think grenades are?

u create an object that has no engine template, give it the proper physics and then damage type and geometries and WHAM! u have urself a bomb
