All I want is a decent map editor...

after all, this does exist in reality (i believe having read that the B52s started in US territory, flew all the way to the middle east, bombed, and flew back again).

:

I think an unlimited range bomber is a great idea, but once you have the ability to build a certain type of bomber beyond the B-17 that comes with the game (like the B-52 I have) then I think it should just be automatically allowed. I think a small wonder or extra tech is kind of a hassle for something I think should just be assumed to happen with certain units. Because in reality whenever long range bombers like B-52s or B-2s are used, such as in Afgahnistan, mid-air refueling is just routine. During Desert Storm it was routine even for fighters patroling the no fly zone for long periods of time to refuel in the air.

At any rate, the 8 as maximum range really pisses me off and I hope soon we will be able to edit this for the purposes of usefulness and realism.


Is there any set date yet for when that new patch is supposed to come out? Ive only heard sometime in June, but thats it. Im really curious to the fixes it brings to the "editor" that came with the game.

You could edit the two FLCs together to produce the desired animation...

hi ,

one option is to give it a movement of two , one to get near the target "rebase" , and a second to bomb the target , ....

have a nice day
