Hey Bliss

Did you turn down bomber spawn rates? - we flew last night through two rotations and there were very few bombers spawned - lots of lfying around waiting for spawns.

Was very stable though and the rotation seemed to work well.

Cheers as always

Also Bliss there seem to be far less lower altitude bombers now. ANd a few people were commenting tonight on the reduced frequency of the bomber flights.

I think shifting the bombers to higher altitudes was done on purpose because most people were simply furballing on the deck, as a means to give them an incentive to go higher and create more tactical variety.

I could be wrong though and it won't be the first time, i just remember it being discussed at some point recently

Wow night map

2:00 AM Moon to fly

2.35 AM Couldn't see my hand in front of my face... turned off illumination and almost couldn't find it to turn it back on LOL

I think I had screwed up on the submission. All the bombers are from 6000m-8000m. I think I can work some more in now that we've got a rotation going on. It should be, at the very least, back to what it's been running for the last couple weeks

Thanks for the feedback.

Spot on

That was the theory anyway.

Well it was supposed to be at 2 oclock, just not 2 in the morning

Sorry about that. Damn military time Fixed.

There's equal amounts of bomber flights for both reds and blues (12 groups in total in 1.5 hours - 6 on each side) The majority of them (both sides) run just north, south, or in line with the 2 shipping lanes to destroy the forward airfields.

Thanks as always Bliss, yeah the hi alt bombers are good for mixing it up, but in moderation please! Its awesome seeing a flight of stukas below you zooming in low over the cliffs then swooping down to bomb hawkinge! A good mix of altitudes is key i think.

Plus is it possible to script in flights of 109's to escort some of the bombers? Maybe once each rotation a large flight of say 12 bombers escorted by 2 or 3 AI 109'?

Cheers mate, as always your hard work is much appreciated!

That sort of stuff should be really easy to do. No need to script them in, just adding their waypoints in FMB to the existing bomber sub-mission will suffice. The despawn eventhandler script will take care of them if/when they land.

I guess it's up to them if they want to do that though.
