    Post AI bombers in maps

    In the last 03 maps that I participated ( Sealion , Joy Division and Raiders ) appear during the game dozens of AI red bombers but in contrast rare or none AI blue bombers (only in Joy Division , which intercepted 05 He- 115) . Why this? What criteria? . If is Battle of Britain missions should have dozens of blues AI bombers and not reds...

    At the moment the AI bombers are spawned in by ATAG player requests in-game. Its available to both sides on any maps where its implemented. I know an alternative method to this is being looked at and will im sure be implemented at some future point (It can be probematic if one team has ATAG players in and the other doesnt)

    +1 OR in what also may be the case, RED had faster fingers than blue that day. Once the AI mission resets (40min) it's free game for whichever side calls it first. Again, this is kind of experimental and I'm hoping to find a better way in the coming months. IF it is found to be an un-liked feature by the majority of players (which is not what I've heard so far ), it can easily be removed too!

    people are really loving it imo- you see many people escorting the raids and many people tracking and attacking the raids.

    It also lifts the fight up high.

    Yeah gotta get in quick if you have the power to launch. I tried a couple of times but was beaten to the punch by those nasty red players.

    Great feature Freya and I think it's really been beneficial during the traditional quite times on the server and may have helped increase those number slightly. Haven't heard any negative comments thus far.

    The single unevenness que saw these three occasions is that only the blues pilots had chance to increase their individual scores successfully attacking the bombers, but is a excellent initiative .

    Re: AI bombers in maps

    I'll agree, having the AI bombers on maps like Kanalkampf and Sealion have been great assists for both Blue (on the former) and Red (on the latter) to aid with some play-balance on those missions. Previously having to fly twenty successful Blenheim sorties vs. Calais Marck and Zutkerque to knock them out, *and* multiple attacks on the ships to sink those, made Sealion an almost unwinnable situation for Red. With the AI bombers that can be called in now, it helps Red's chances *A LOT* to actually throw back the invasion!

    In short, the ability to call in the AI bombers has been a nice addition, kudos to you, Freya!
