Explain to me the point of having fighters and bombers in the same map if the fighters don’t start as a bomber escort?
If you are trying simulate fighters scrambling then the bombers may as well be bots.
If you are trying to simulate deep penetration bombing then the fighters may as well be bots.
Because then bombers would be even more useless than they already are.
You’re aware of interceptors and strike air starts right? It is quite capable for ground start fighters to get up to the bombers, esp. as BR goes up.
Bombers have to “read the field” and decide on a strategy to avoid the enemy team. Fighters have to decide who they are going to go after; Bully a bomber or two or go lick the windows with the rest of the furball down low.
Both are playing different games but both influence the other.
I have never player Air RB where your teammates gave a damn about escorting a bomber.You may as well start a month apart.
Might as well just play Dynamic campaign if you want that.Only place you will find it as far as I can see.
Enemy fighters: bombers are not useless, their entire existence is serving as our feeder food bro
Behold as all the “escorts” start climbing above you at the start of a match and now you’re below fighters since the start instead of having a 4km lead
What I am getting at is it needs to be the aim of the match. I am sure if the fighters began as escort on both sides and they received gain to get them over their target then it would work. It’s supposed to be “realistic”. Perhaps they need a few different Air Realistic modes.
Not realistic.
Its a game not a sim.
Then why call it realistic?
The Snail lies.
