There is a bullet proof bucket? I will have a look at that, might be just what I need!
However I did successfully manage to get a Stuka flight to properly divebomb without selecting an object as a target online yesterday (i still selected Ground attack>target and then selected Divebomb in the other dialogue box). In fact it was a beautiful sight..
Some of us Syn chaps where online on our server in Hurricanes at near dawn game time (lovely colours and mist...), we intercepted a flight of 18 Stukas at 4000m just as they where about to hit Manston. We got stuck into them but the remainder dive-bombed the base en-masse, scattering bombs everywhere and then ran for home at 500 m! Just as I, as mission maker, had intended.
Meanwhile the flight 8 Me110s escorting the Stukas got stuck into us. They where set on 'free hunt' rather than escort. I managed to damage one, but had to land due to lack of ammo. The swines then shot me up on the runway! These AI have no sense of chivalry....they are relentless when set to free hunt.
Anyhoo, despite the torment mission making presents its magical moments like this sortie that make it all worthewhile. When it works, this game works great.
