Hi Certificate - yet another congrats and thanks note, bloody well done. Been using v3 for a while now and it's changed the feel totally in the best of all possible ways 8)
I was just wondering if any codes for bombers had been changed? Recently I played a mission with two waves of 30ish b24s attacking a port, and noticed something amazing. As the first wave made its bomb run they were getting pretty badly shot up, largely by a capital ship in the middle of the harbour, but after they made their run they turned for home as normal...
...only the flack didn't stop. One b24 peeled off from the inside flank of the formation (whose bombs would have hit the water) and made a second run, coming in alone, releasing its bombs and scoring 3 hits on the battleship, sinking it. Reminded me of Yossarian going round again! The second wave then came in and made short work of the shore-based AAA installations and dock facilities. No doubt that one b24 saved many aircraft in the second wave.
I don't know if this was fluke, or is coded somehow, but it was deeply impressive - a real sense of there being personalities behind the controls. And it gave me something to look at as I drifted down 17,000ft by parachute
Thank you once again, an absolutely vital mod.
