First off I understand we have to keep the S3 alive and going....
I just looked at the S6 for frame 4 planning purposes and noted that the Knights all flew the Fokker. So in reality their buff pilots flew a fighter so they wouldn't have to fly their crappy bomber. I know they are a composite squad so they can have their own fighter escort but for strict bomber pilots to fly a fighter to avoid a plane is BS.
Jugggo,
This isn't true. There were a lot of reasons why we didn't fly bombers.
1. Bombers AI sucked and work.
2. Frame 2, we only had 2 bomber pilots.
Out of frustration with the FM we asked for approval from Jabo how to handle this and it was in no way to keep us from flying the Kate.
There was BS in this series with screwed up AI's, FM and rules we have just about had it with the S3's. I have lost several good pilots because of it and we have series doubts about continuing. We miss the S3 of the past and wish we had it back.
I am considering dropping the bombers and just be a fighter squadron. Oh ya, the reason why we became a composite squadron is because we never in the past got fighter coverage unless we brought our own with us.
