Hi, Whiskey
I agree with Davis about the limits of the simulation, especially mods loaded features.
For a bomber lover who wants to add more of them at any reasonable cost, then there are options.
Possibilities:
1) Set some bombers to Empty ( no bombs or ammunition). Fewer gunners shooting increases performance, thus allowing more bombers.
2) Use a much higher altitude. The farther from the ground, generally the better the performance, which allows adding more bombers.
3) Temporary reduction of many graphics settings, such as 3D Gunners in the conf.ini file, will improve performance and result in more bombers allowed. Making two different Control Panel Program Profiles, one for bombers with reduced graphics settings, will make this transition quick.
4) Spread the flight of bombers farther from one another and at various altitudes. The closer they are, then the more hit against performance.
5) Increase the distance from the viewer to the bombers.
6) Increase the speed of all aircraft if you wish to record the battle. This makes for smoother recording track when played a bit slower while recording the track with Fraps or other recording device.
I have had about 30 bombers in a formation with no problem using the above techniques. For only screen captures, I once had 48 four engine bombers in a formation using the Full Mission Builder.
Have fun with it!
