Buff Tuff and OTTO--I for one say you need to look at both when you start adjusting things.
During frame 4 we had countless Axis fighters buzzing us and taking a few of us out --I did see a few fighters taken down by buff gunners but I would be curious to know how many were taken down by the buff OTTO--I don't recall any? Where they?
Now, as a want to be Buff Driver, I've only flew in 135 frames and and my death rate is among the worst I'm sure--most of which self inflicted for failing to stay tight with the formation. So take this not as a complaint but rather an observation.
Although I think the bomber force may be growing there has to be a reason for the decline of buff driver Squads over the years--Why?
Now,I know it is hard to balance the game and I salute all that make things happen so that we may enjoy 90+ minutes of fun each week.
Maybe have a series where the Buff and Fighter Sq. switch rides. Be like getting in that other persons shoes!
