Default Bomber pilots!one step forward!

Air Combat Group is thinking about creating a new squadron for LW Bomberpilots.

i dont know how many pilots here prefer to fly Bombers, but if you exist, then dont hesitate and raise your voice!
it would be the oportunity to fly to targets in formation, while you would get fighter cover from JG26....

Wow that is brave. We tried to get Bf110 squadron going along side our Bf109 squadron. Its so hard to get specialised pilots.

Good luck,

S!

Wish you all the best in your undertaking! Hopefully the sight fix mentioned in the soon-to-be-released (TM) patch will smooth out the path for LW Bomber Pilots.

One of the things that will indicate that COD has started to reach it's potential will be when special Interest Groups like yours can seamlessly slot into the online servers and do your thing.

Cheers!

yeah i also think that its certainly really hard to find such pilots, but i know they exist....ive seen them on the servers...
ACG consists of four squads: No.501, No.401,No.64 and JG26
with this constilation, i think its a win win situation for everyone, the RAF pilots,JG26 and of course the bomberpilots who would join us.
We would provide fighter cover every time, while our RAF guys certainly would have an eye on us.the bombers could fly there mission, and rely on us.
such missions would just be awesome...we already like to give fighter cover for the "lifeless" AI bombers, but it would be a different level if you knew that the bombers were flown by humans.
besides, such a formation would be a magneto to all the single fighter pilots on the servers as well i think

stuka's dive attack is completly functional at this time (actually, it was right from the beginnig).

I'm doing one or two dive bombing flights almost each time I'm joining the ATAG server, thing is, it is hard to get someone flying a bombing formation raid with you, and even harder to get an escort, even if I'm asking almost each time before doing it.

so, unfortunately, lone stuka stealth bombing runs are the only viable option atm.

well, if we find at least 1 or 2 dedicated Bomberpilots, they could then really count on the Abeville Boys to escort them.thats the idea behind creating a 5th squad in ACG, to give bomberpilots the chance to fly in formation escorted by experienced 109 pilots on a regular basis.

as soon as we have those 1 or 2 pilots, we would then create a own KG under ACG.which would hopefully attract more bomberpilots.

Very good idea, i remember when i was hosting game in hypperlobby. One time a menage to get 4 tb3 in formation in kuban map. I think all the fighter was rushing on us ( limited icon + external view.... whit no cockpit ) We menage to go to the target all 4, on low level attack whit flak gun... but some one forget to put some time in the bomb set... we all explode ... its was like 5 year ago, And its was a very good time for me .
