We want Bombs!

PS2 Devs, please give us bombs in PS2!

Can anyone confirm if there will be bombs in PS2?

I think I read earlier that Liberators are now going to be only gunships and not bombers in PS2. Please oh please let it not be so without bombs. We lib pilots want our bombs back pls.

Can someone assuage my fears on this?

EDIT: oh no!

PS2 Devs, please give us bombs in PS2! Please, pretty please? I'd pay money to have my bombs back.

Maybe even make a few types of them able to even penetrate the top level or two of certain buildings with an area affect to force guys inside to go outside with AA. But at least, please give us bombs!

Bombs are not in, no.

I disagree with the notion too, believe me.

Yea no bombs planned for release.

But if you CE your ATV, then you can make a car-bomb. Or "quad-bomb" to be precise.

They are likely to be on the list of things to be added later, but with the Lib canon pointing down with only limited movement, it will be very similar.

So far we've seen air to ground rockets, and they've mentioned air to ground missiles might be in.

oh please I hope they make it the first thing they add in. at least make the bombing experience on par with PS1.

"We" do not want bombs.

"We" are perfectly happy with the cannon that will in no way spawn any penis jokes at all.

"You" will most likely get your bombs from the payshop in the future.

Oh Lord, please, nooooooooo !

RDX hopping on no-FF servers from BF ? RDX on fast vehicles with no-damage instant bails ?

I hope bombs are one of the first things they add in, although it may be just a different type of ammo. 'Cos if you think about it, the mortars for the gal gunship weren't that far away from bombs either. I mean, they had the accuracy of WWII bombs, so wtf.

I'm happy with what they have in right now. I'll make my final judgment on the lib and bombs come beta when we can actually test the thing out.

No bombs planned for release. But if i remember correctly, the liberator was not a release vehicle for Planetside originally either. Be patient, they may add them later.

Right now it seems like the gunship variant of the Lib will be just as effective, if not more so than the old bomber.

Why do you want bombs when you have a tank cannon pointed down?

As much as I loved dropping lines of high explosives on people not expecting it, I have to admit I'm looking forward to flying the new Lib. A proper gunship should be fun.

I am upset that no artillery is in
