Question:
I was unable to find the formation for the bombers to line up behind me at increasing altitude, I think this was a ladder setup. I used CTRL F12 rather than typing in a command. I've previously used this to have their bombs fall somewhat close to mine... all I had last frame was trail where they lined up in a straight line somewhat above and behind me but all of them at the same alt.
Is the Ladder formation (as previously used) available?
The Bomber log in worked as expected, unlike the last few frames when it was not working.
Interface:
Changing loadouts for wingmen did eventually work but did not work like you would think it did.
1) click loadout button
2) change loadout
3) loadout did NOT appear to change
4) click loadout button again and loadout changed at that time.
Mission:
way too much going on to try and zoom the map in close enough to pick individual wingmen and give them orders or arrange them. When you do get to select one you are zoomed in so close that you cannot tell them to fly far enough away ... the scale is too far zoomed in. If you move them to a point, by the time you zoom out and change something they have reached that point and now try to land or some other thing...
you have to be right on top of targets for them to see anything, which means you cannot attack because you are too busy dealing with the wingmen. (flying straight and level thru AAA means you don't live long)
For area bombing I'm sure they work just fine, but with taking out precision targets I haven't found a good way to utilize their bombs. (though perhaps their bombs did more damage than mine..
)These are just a few of my thoughts on what was going on, only meant as comment for reference not a complaint.
Jabo ... I know I know, just let them fly behind you and don't worry about it......but I couldn't resist trying to do something with them.
