Trying to fullfill the missiontask that is given in scripted Dogfightservers (mainly on the WoP servers) and COOP missions (COOP online wars).

im also looking forward to the bomberflying in CoD ! one of the best 'updates' (video from the Moskau game show) the last month was the in cockpit video of a Ju88 with Crewmembers sitting beside , awsome !

additional hopes are:
- a more detailed arming screen. where you can select the armament stations and not only have a given kind of armament options.
and that the factor "max start weight" comes to count if you are selecting the bombload and fuel !! always an important factor for bombers. As Examble, a Do17Z (sure only AI in CoD) had with 1to of bombs only a combar range of less than 400km ! Equipting the forward bombbay with a fuel tank the range was over 1000km but only 500kg of bombs were possible.

- i wish that the bombercrew can select the bombdelays and order of bombrelease

- i hope that a RAF bomber that can carry more than ~1000lb (the Blenheim Mk.IV) will be available as soon as possible. My favorites for that would be the Wellington (even more as it is as AI in the release version) or the Hampden (my personal favorite, because it was a 'pilots' plane like the Ju88 ).

i can only say, bring on the bombers

Hear! Hear!

While I can wait for an update for more bombers (will be a lot of fun just exploring what it will have), I will insist a patch with full control of all the bombers in BoB.

(Oh, must have Loadout control too.)

Ju88 (seems like player control in CoD)
He111
Do17z (and Do215)
Blen I and IV
Wellington
and that Italian bomber (cant recall name).

(Stuka of course)

Would like to see the 109E-7 as well, with a single 50kg bomb.


BTW JG53Frankyboy, you did your homework, GJ!
