Do the ground pounders about to eat a bomb get any warning? Like a whistling? I hope the engineers didn't copy the German bomb design.

The sound they make as well, like the Nazi Stukas, a nice high pitched scream as they descend.

If Trebor was right, they did copy german bomb design. Emulating nazis is not recomended.

Nope, defying all logic, it magically doesn't take up any room.

Since we all know what stuka's sound like...

I'm a licensed pilot and I don't know the difference between engine sounds of planes that haven't flown in 35 years.

Escorts will be viable if any lib crew wants to survive. Most reav/skeet pilots want ground kills, but there are a few, such as myself, who like taking down other air targets. I'm sure that at every major battle there will be plenty of those, and libs will be eaten up.

MilitantB0B · 2003-07-03, 02:41 PM

To tell you the truth, I don't know either. All i know is it was asked if they sounded like the germans, the Nazis where germans, so I said yes and gave a reference. No harm, no foul.

humm i dont know if this has been menchoned yet but renforced armor cant pilot OR gun.
the first things i certed in in the test server was ren armor and med assualt and i couldnt fit in any of the gunner posions in the lib in my renarmor
(sorry for the spelling)

Jarlo · 2003-07-03, 03:36 PM

Hrm can't gun in reinforced? That sounds like a bug to me. Time will tell.

I really need to figure out a way to get back in my sparrow armor asap when these floating KILL ME signs go live 8)

I am sooo gonna enjoy splattering MAXes when the lib comes out...

Yeesh, don't you ever watch the WWII� err, I mean, History channel?

They had a siren on 'em, that made a high pitched whine. I haven't tried out the test server yet, so I don't know if the comparison is good or not.

Trebor95 · 2003-07-03, 04:05 PM

Sorry, no offence meant with that referemce to the Nazi's.

I'll go and edit it out, its just the bomb sounds reminded me of the stukas.

Don't worry, there is so many nazi reference (especially in reference to sigbot and other devilish mod tools) around here.

i can't wait for this thing..for real...

ObnoxiousFrog · 2003-07-03, 04:48 PM

As opposed to falsely hoping for it.

Escorts? Sure, but does that really work in PS enviroment when every Reaver & Mosq pilot wants ground kills?

Who's going to be cruising at 400m while the battle is hot and heavy on the ground waiting for the chance that a Liberator *might* show up?

Once a Liberator shows up, sure every Rever/Mosq pilot will after burn to try to take it down, but how many bombs will the bombadier would have released? 30? 40? 50? The bombs can be released at an EXTREMELY high RoF.

I can see 2-man suicide crews bombing Vehicle terms. Why? When was the last time you saw Reaver pilots at 400m above a friendly vehicle term guarding it, when they could be in an enemy SOI getting kills and gaining XP?

Ok, you have valid points but your forgetting one thing. Adaption, PS isn't like other FPS's (how many times have I said that...)
People will change and adapt, you will end up seeing sky defence. Sure your normal everyday squad might not, but in organized outfits, you Will see escorts, you Will see high level defence, you Will see spotters who keep eyes to the sky. Infact at the moment these outfits do exist, just not very many, because most people are still changing from the standard FPS mentality, to the new FPS Strategy mentality.
