Well, that's the plan more or less: if we have an incentive to go up there in force it will be better gameplay for everyone

A few days ago i was dive bombing in a Ju88 and had a human gunner. I was dodging a Spit all the way home as best as i could and the player manning the guns was doing a very good job, so we managed to reach home base with only light damage.

The only serious damage what that the hydraulic pump got shot off, so we couldn't extend gear and flaps. I had to side-slip it in to control speed by drag and executed a belly landing.

One of the best sorties i ever had, my gunner was going "wow, look at that" on the chat as he watched the string of bombs explode during the pull up, all sorts of fun, immersive things, and then it hit me. I was excited just getting a mission with the kind of outcome many bombers had in the real battle.

Just imagine how much better it's going to be and how hectic, if we have 5-10 player controlled bombers level bombing from altitude, 110s for top cover trying to BnZ the RAF, Hurricanes trying to force the 110s to TnB, 109s trying to cover the 110s and Spits trying to tie up the 109s. Or spawning in Manston and taking off as the bombs go off around you, aimed by real people who will see you taxing through their scope and try to get you, instead of AI bombers that hit a predetermined spot. It's going to be madness i tell you
