I read that they might be doing bomber planes soon... GOD WHY? The very thought of this makes me quiver. This would be abused so much, it'slike a personal oribital cannon. What are your thoughts?


And on an unrelated note: all weapons are op, I purpose we just get rid of wepons and crash into each other with lavs and melle each other.

why are they doing bombers? give me a f#@kin harrier already you low life mother *******

Nope. Hopefully we'll be getting the bomber varient dropships though

Please no. Even the ADS was a mistake. I'd gladly trade my Python for a dedicated gunship.

Has any one else thought of it this way . Bommers are traditionaly verry high altitude or stealth based so thats what we can expect from bommer dropships. Now obviously they will have a limited supply of ammo and will have to land to restock but appart from that a good bomber pilot crew will have to remain at a really high altitude so ad not to be targeted by av or havs ect. Now this will make for intaresting fights not only over ground but also air superiority on the battle field and folks will be finding their assault dropships much more usefull as they will pretty much be the best counter to the high flying bombers. In short im looking forward to seeing what they can acctually do.

With ammo limits coming in the next update that's probably only a month away, I think that alone will act as a balancing measure.

Adding to that, we're likely to see Fighters before we see Bombers (concept art already released), meaning that Bombers will have their primary counter already in the game before they arrive. You'll end up needing - like in real life (at least back in WW2) - air superiority squads running Fighters to support a Bomber as it approaches the enemy. Terrain and cover will matter in order to avoid enemy Forge Gunners, and if they're supported with Dropships they might be able to take high ground where you can't hide - in that case you'll need to coordinate with Snipers on the ground to clear out the anti-air.

(and while writing this up, it gave me a whole bunch of ideas... I'm going off to make a new thread now)

Link to what? The pics that were posted all over the forums during fanfest?

Or the sticky thread about 1.5 where the devs announced the ammo limits coming to vehicles?

Nope. Hopefully we'll be getting the bomber varient dropships though

I hope they dropped the idea of bomber dropships.

It's just their cheap way out of adding actual new vehicles+roles+skills+modules and everything that goes with it.


Really, we don't need a dropship for every occasion. We NEED more vehicles and modules.

Yea, but I do like the Assault DS. It makes sense. Bomber DS? Hell no.

Pics.
I dont think you grasp how incredibly lazy i am. :)
