Keep bomber concept the way they are but revamp it.
-
I believe it’s 5 bombers in a formation (correct me if I’m wrong). I suggest condensing it down to 3 bombers and put them in a V formation like so…
-
Bomber formations are still called in by radio squad.
-
Player that called in bomber formation has to keep atleast 1 radio man alive (this way he/she has to balance between helping team or staying back)
-
Once “enemy bombers inbound” is announced, player has a set time limit to jump into the lead aircraft and maneuver entire formation into a position he/she wants bombs to drop. To expand on this bombers would have to be spawned in alittle farther out for player to line up whatever run he/she wants.
-
Player can also access defensive armaments on lead plane to defend formation from players.
-
Once over battlefield, player would then switch to bomb sight on where he/she wants to drop.
-
V formation would condense the area down considerably. So entire map would not be saturated with bombs. Instead a small section would.
I feel this would give players a better interaction with the mechanic. Have player playing radio man balance out staying alive and helping team until formation comes into map. If player dies, the formation breaks off and no bombs are dropped. (Act like being called off)
