[quote="Metatron"]I like this mod very much. My only criticism is the behavior of the fighter bombers: Carrying bombs turns planes into sitting ducks with this mod. All I can say is I think with very few exceptions, fighter bombers would abort their mission and jettison their bombs if attacked. This is based on most first hand accounts I have read, by no means is this a definitive fact, but just my opinion.

I can definitely make that happen.... some people wanted it this way, others want it the way it is right now. If you have some idea of middle ground, I'd be happy to consider it.

I think the key here would probably have been the presence of other fighters as escort. With such an escort the fighter/bombers could (in theory) continue on their primary mission while the escorts handled the attack. When attacked directly (no escort, or some enemies got through the escort) I would expect the FBs to jettison loads and protect themselves. Possibly this would be difficult behavior to program?

This brings to mind another escort fighter behavior that
