I hence ask whoever might still be playing, so that I might reinstall and perhaps skirmish:
bomber carpet bombing is still bugged?
Simply put: in vanilla version of SC, if you just moved 50 t1 bombers over an enemy base in formation, they would keep formation and maintain speed through the waypoint over the enemy base, but would release their bombs and thus "carpet bomb". This was a very good move since the aa couldn't cluster kill the aircraft converging in one spot or going wild above the base.
With some patch, carpet bombing was entirely disabled, and i stopped playing.
Can somebody please tell me if latest official patches fix carpet bombing?
Thank you very much.|||That never worked, as far as I know carpet bombing was a mod not an actual game feature.|||Legion Darrath|||I'm not aware of an official carpet bombing feature.
I think there might be a mod that enables that sort of functionality.
However, I still wouldn't let that small thing put me off. It's still a fantastic game.|||So... all this game ever was to you was carpet bombing?|||Roamcel|||Legion Darrath|||Many thanks Spooky.
And yes. I ceased playing because this brain dead retarded 'feature' cripples those like me that prefer air from land or sea.
As a matter of fact, 5 aa turrets can annihilate a wing of 50 t1 bombers before they destroy a vehicle factory inside an enemy base.
With carpet bombing, you would not lose all your bombers in one pass, and they would level any weak structure they would fly over.
God damn whoever retard **** is responsible for this idiotic state of things.|||this game is about land, sea AND air, dickhead.|||A air is plenty powefull enough as it is.
To write off the entire game just because of that is utterly ridiculous.|||pkc|||It was removed because the old 'algorithm' for that feature probably didn't work anymore with the new bomb physics. Before it would only have to check if the bomber is currently somewhere directly over an enemy unit, but after the change it would have to check its bomb will hit an enemy unit in the future, if it drops the bomb now.|||Roamcel|||Did Roamcel just say that pkc was a Sup2 fanboy?|||BulletMagnet|||

having said that though FA is still my fave game of all time, and "all time" goes back to 1981 for this aging nerd.
oh, and i really fvcking hope that the "reset camera angle at max zoom" doesn't make a re-appearance in KnC

Mike|||Spooky|||ROFL.
pkc, 7700+ post count, you're obviously a miserable stupid with too much time to waste in these forums without a purpose.
Now Spooky, thanks again for the reply, but do you perhaps know where can I find the mod the people are talking about? I suppose you can't play online with it, right?|||Roamcel|||he's like the gift that keeps on giving
