S3 Series

Just thinking.... could someone tell me if AI wingmen help you at all in a bomber?

I'm thinking they are nothing but points for the enemy to get. Perhaps with moving ships it gives you a greater chance of a hit with a bomb?

I was thinking of not taking any wingmen in frame 5.. at least we wouldn't look like a bomber from a distance.

Pretty sure everyone was running all three directly behind them so they must help in bombing with that huge salvo. If all 3 get shotdown they only score the enemy 3 pts due to the fact that all AI bombers seem to be fubar in their damage system. You hit them with a slight wind and they blow up regardless if they are Do17s or B17s.

"Frame 5 will be the same with Allied shipping moving away from Dieppe as they evacuate their troops from the bloody beaches."

It doesn't sound like any ships will be stationary, but no one knows jabos thinking...bombing with ai definitely improves odds for hitting moving ships from my perspective. With the Do17 ai being worth one point each I would think it would be point effective to take them. Granted having ai gives you away early.
My 2¢ fwiw.

But, AI can also be directed to land at a field away from your flight path so as to misdirect the enemy.
