    Question Blue Team Bomber Swarms

    Am i right in thinking there is an absence of realistic bomber attacks by the Blue Team, in any pro-typical numbers.

    I am referring to the Axis & Allies server.

    Would be nice for us Hurri pilots to have something to go after.

    As i have only had the game 5 mins. This is not a moan, just a polite observation.

    Best regards,
    Mike.

    Re: Blue Team Bomber Swarms

    I've noticed there tend to be less blue bombers on as well, probably due to a lack of a squad like the red side who have the 69th.
    I tend to fly jabo missions if the map will allow it, to 'do my bit' in completing the objectives - you can attack me, I'll act the same as a bomber. You'll never know the difference!

    I was thinking more of AI bombers added to the MP maps, to give more realism buddy.

    Hi Mike,

    There are AI bombers that can be called upon once per hour by either side. Only one sortie at a time. These bomber missions are limited to times when there are less than 50 people flying as to not cause a the server to freeze. There is a limit to how many aircraft the server can handle an one time.

    If you have not had the chance, please check out Lewis Beginners Guide:

    Hi Deacon,

    i thought after i had posted, that it might be due to restrictions on how many aircraft can be on the server at one time.

    What a shame, i fancied flying through masses of HE 111's and shooting the bu**ers down

    Yes i have ready Lew's beginners guide on more than one occasion.

    Mind you it goes in one eye and out the other.

    Thanks for taking the time to reply.

    Best regards,
    Mike.

    .
    You've never come up against the AI 111s in the server have you? Not a formation that you really want to fly THROUGH

    And count em - if theres one too many or one is slightly (humanly) out of line..............you wont see the bullets cos people like Pro Amis and Hanseat don't use tracer but boy....you will feel em and a long time before you expect to as well!

    BTW - If you aint already, have a look at the TWC server - lots of Good AI stuff going on in there.

    Re: Blue Team Bomber Swarms

    If a server builder wants to have masses of Heinkels to shoot down, he can add them, but the number of players will be limited to 20 or so... if it goes over that, the players will experience issues.

    Alternative: Someone builds a COOP mission with lots of bombers and limits the number of humans. This is the best alternative... unfortunately building COOPs is complex in CoD.

    Final alternative: You can play single player missions with huge numbers of bombers.

    Cool Re: Blue Team Bomber Swarms

    Hi Boosterdog and RAF74_Buzzsaw,

    thanks for the info guys.

    I don't usually see anyone when i am flying A&A server, friend or foe.

    Let alone Blue Meanie bombers LOL

    All good fun though and thanks for replying both.

    Best regards,
    Mike.

    Re: Blue Team Bomber Swarms

    As JG4-Henry just stated in another thread, ATAG main server is definetely a bit biased towards fighters. The AI bombers just meant to spice things up at quiet times.
    Compared to racing it is something like Formula One (if I can make it there ...).

    Still, there are other servers, providing lots of AI targets. Leadfarm for one is making it simple for you by having 'icons on' and very un-aggressive AI. Still this is a very good place to practice your shooting, landings or get familiar with the landscape.
    The Danger Dogz server is harder, no icons in game, but on the map. So it is easy to find the baddies (or just fly over to France, the will be swarming there), but beware some 109 or 110 flights will really try to give you trouble.

    When I a alone I am still sometimes reluctant to play bait on the ATAG server and connect to one of the above. There are others I haven't tried yet.

    S!

    Hi Derda,

    i tried the TWC server as recommended by Boosterdog earlier.

    I was only over the IoW for 3 mins and was shot down, brilliant.

    Many thanks for the further recommendations buddy, i will certainly have a look.

    Not necessarily looking for easy, as i don't really mind being shot down.

    All part of the experience, after all.

    Thanks very much for your help Derda.

    Best wishes,
    Mike.
