Bomber HQs

[soulucky]

Not sure if it's a bug or a feature but the bomber HQs have the same supply as fighter brigades since campaign start (as in no DB7s/Havocs for the Allies).

Is this a permanent change?

Dunno Soul. Let me ask DOC to take a look.

It's basically a choice we had to make. They can have either the same list as the fighter groups, or the bomber groups. Players seem to need more fighters than bombers (as in run out of them more often) and there are half as many fighter only groups as there are bomber groups; so they have a fighter group list (this is just the HQ, not the brigades under the HQ which _do_ have a bomber list) ... this can be changed but not until there is a server reset, and a case made for one over the other since you can't have both.

I have monitored both group types for awhile before making this change, and the lack of fighters was at all times much more frequently noted than the times when there were no bombers left to fly.

Yes, there will be times when there are less bombers than ideal, whatever your ideal happens to be. You should never have an inexhaustable supply of bombers. Or anything really.

Thanks for the answer, I was just reporting in case it was a bug and needed fixing, and also to be sure to let others know about it. I think this is a good change overall since as you said we usually end up without fighters before bombers, maybe this will balance things up a bit.

Can somebody explain why bomber HQ's no longer have DB7's or Havocs in their spawn list like before?

Think I'm going to join the Navy.

As a bomber pilot, I'm beginning to feel the Navy love. Sad really.

I just did.
