BryanMan50 Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 When, if ever, are the attack bombers used? I have put them on the list but they never show up. Can you see them fly around, or do you just have to assume they completed their mission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tailz Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 You are only purchasing the "chance" that they will show. Maybe they'll arrive, maybe they won't. You can usually hear them orbit a turn or two before they make a pass. (where they could hit the enemy or your own forces... another chance!) You won't see the actual plane, but you will see a fleeting shadow across the ground and the engine/bomb sounds... sometimes they'll hang around and strafe on subsequent turns. You could also see enemy AA open up on them. (If purchased.) All in all, a lot of points for negligibe gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannheim Tanker Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 If you want to see planes work to great effect, play me sometime with me as the Germans. LOL! I ALWAYS seem to get pasted by those damned Jabos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compassion Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 I have horrible memories of the ack ack blazing away and not hitting a thing and the Jabos sweeping in and bombing the crap out my position. I could see the bombs coming in and then comeing around for several strafing runs and slicing my lines up well before the enemy arrived on the ground... Funny thing is that they were my planes...
