Thumbs up FMB Help Plz!

I have just had a look at your missions Rudel - very impressive sight - all those B29's.
Just a few changes I would recommend.
1. The Mustang escort
Tie them down to each group of bombers selected for at least two waypoints (or more) and that will keep them circling the bombers until the Japanese fighters arrive.
Increase the Mustang speed to 470km/h
You could leave one or two formations of Mustangs not tied down to the bombers to range ahead and engage the Japanese fighters before they get to the bombers - this is what is happening now in the mission.
2. B29 Bomber formations
Seperate each bomber formation by 50m (highest formation in the centre) stepping down on each side (I personally think the formations look better like this and they don't climb or dive at the turn waypoints to avoid crashing into each other)
The 450Km/h speed looks very good at 6000m.
Extend the bomber track over the target in a straight line (add another waypoint in a straight line after the 'G-Attack' waypoint)
Flatten out your bomber turnpoints by adding more waypoints - try to keep the basic 'V' formation. (avoid sharp turnpoints with large bomber formations)
3. The Japanese fighters
Tie each group of Japanese fighters to a 'target formation of bombers' and some 'Mustang escort formations if you wish' - the Jap fighters will attack each group and then attack other groups eventually - if they survive?
4. General
Add more waypoints on the bombers tracks, keeping the 'V' formation and same speed
I liked the way you split up the bombers into two streams to attack seperate targets - looked very impressive.
