True enough, fighter bombers loaded with ordinance do not dogfight so it would have to be restricted to aircraft with guns and cannon only under a certain size and it would also require an entire re-write of a large chunk of code for something neither Andy nor I have any interest in not only from a personal standpoint but also from a game design standpoint.

The existing game engine is already stretched far more than anyone thought possible 10 years ago and we have already had to deal with bugs that crop up because of it so anything we add from here on will have to be not only something very useful to the game but also something that does not impact a lot of other code and most importantly, something we think worthwhile.

This just doesn't qualify

What about something like a die roll wich gives the chance for A/C to be shot down?fighters circling around battle areas("on call") loaded with bombs would jettison ordnance and engage enemy fighters if in danger(p47 is a nice example for this role)
