liberator (bomber), what do you envision?

I'd like to see something like a Stuka dive bomber from WW2. You have to dive on the target and you can only release 4 or 6 bombs per dive with there being a long reload of say 5 to 6 seconds. It should also have a small 20mm machinegun for self defense.

Forcing you to dive on the target in order to be accurate would help prevent some needless friendly fire.

Plus a cool siren like the Stuka had would be great for shock value.

I love flying the Stuka in IL2 Sturmovik for that same reason.

A dive bomber would work much better then a stratigic or tactical bomber. Less FF and a cool siren!

How about dropping bombs that only drain NTU from bases, doesn't do anything to troops or vehicles. Maybe disables base turrets for a few seconds too.

Would take four or five bombing runs to drain a base.

i can see it now:

a full squad of bombers, a pair to a bomber, all filled with NTU draining bombs.... disable and ENTIRE BASE.


I dont think so man...

Hard to envision the same ghey flying vehicles PS already has.

naw, they'll just put a cap on how many can be purchased and also make it so it only can be purchased from one base type on the map, if not only from scantuary perhaps.

I just don't see the bomber being a weapon of mass destruction, we'll see I guess but you would get weapons lock real quick if they make the bombs kill people and stuff.

I just have a feeling it's going to be some non-destruction type weapon, maybe it'll take even more bombing runs to drain a base or something.

Hey I hope I'm wrong, but think about it, this game doesn't have super weapons or long distance artillery. Orbital strike? what orbital strike? where?

There needs to be more things to destroy in the game, like that huge radar dish on top of the interlink base I think.. not blow away walls or anything but things like the wall turrets that are destroyed and then repaired, ntu silos should be something that you can break etc.

FYI:
You can NOT put a cap on how many there can be in the map, think about it for a sec, you pay your 3-4 certs for a vech that you can only use if your the 1st to buy it? Dont make this game into bf1942 where you kill the person who took the plane cuz you werent fast enough to get it 1st, no one would ever get off the ground with a bomber, friendlies would kill them so they could get their own.

It will be fine, since it will be BALLANCED, not a copy, not usless, not ubber strong, not just like whatever, balanced.

You can however make it so you can only get them at the dropship center, etc, depending on their power.

this is what it would be like with hovering capabillities
a TR soldier on patrol hears a noise above him its a bomber
Uh-Oh!BOOM!

OMFG

Im not sure if this is this dumbest post ever, but it sure is in my book.

I dunno, should the bombs kill stuff?

Or did i miss something?

hehe yah i want some lethality, even the pounder can be tamed with practice. Actually a 2man dive bomber might be funner than a gunship/bomber like b-17. Put in 45degree nose dip penalty when moving below 30% thrust to discourage camping, and promote hit while moving. Momentum on bomb drops would be great, like a quarter arc with radius determined by the speed.

I don't care what it does, so long as it bombs and I have one in my squad. I can't wait to use my favorite lines in this game.

MilitantBob: Bomb that treeline back about a hundred yards, give me some room to breath!

Bomber crew: Roger

MilitantBob: i love the smell of Napalm in the moring, smells like, victory.... and burnt Vanu, which also smells pretty good.
