Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

I mean, we are playing a game in which you can roll up in your Churchill Crocodile and douse open top vehicles in napalm

And the zippo boat

I don’t know. You’ll have to ask gunjob or any other tech mod. Best bet is to just DM a tech mod

Oh right, ECR Tornados would be cool too

HARM could bump it’s BR up

then a New AAM and MAWS would fit

besides that it’d have everything the current ASSTA has except the gun

I’d only be interested in the electronic combat stuff, the HARMs would probably just be for that SEAD mode until they start adding objectives and mechanics that would warrant having such missiles in other modes

its a shame modular airfields are only available in sim, they are a really cool system and make bombers useful, if you take out tents it stops them from being able to repair the base, the hangers stop AI aircraft from covering the base, the warehouses stop you from being able to rearm there and the airstrip itself stops players from spawning there.

I hope that if we do get that bomber mode they implement these airfields

Or even just gives a guaranteed target to go bomb

Just have it give rewards for bombing the runway, but the actual effect is just the holes in the runway made by the bombs

yeah, if I remember from playing the Lancaster it take A LOT of bombs to destroy the segments as well, like I think it took 2 full loads of the 14 1000lb HC bombs to destroy just the tents

Sim has multiple airfields and actually allows the bombers to have meaningful game impact by being able to disable the spawns

If not more potentially. But yeah, half the time, there is nothing to bomb in something like the Lancaster even if I make it to the base line

Eh… You need a really coordinated team to take one out, let alone multiple. But giving score/reward, means you don’t have to fight over bases

yeah outside of the airfields and carriers there arent a lot of targets to bomb in sim for stratbombers, I wonder if those factory and oil buildings will be for new industrial complex bombing targets, could be like nuclear option where taking out back line factories reduces or out right stops the production of AI ground units in that area

Full disabling of spawn should only occur when AF is fully destroyed. But using the crater code to model bomb craters in AF runway would make it extremely hard to take off and land

That, would be really cool

I don’t get how they still haven’t figured out that the forward airfields would be ideal high “HP” bombing targets

yeah, but getting a 4 man squad in B-29s has to be one of the greatest times I have had in bombers lol

B-1B will be very funny

I got into a formation with another Wellington with a random player, even though we both got slaughtered it was still fun to see
