While thinking about B17 flying fortresses I think we should definitely add those in for a mission this is think should replace the zeppelin game ok so the allied get the b17 bombers and the Germans have to take them down before they reach the German base and well blow It to shreds I do think the allied side should be in the B17's manning the guns inside NOT in their own planes and I'm not sure how the bombing would work probably by CPU but the allied should definitely get to man the guns it would be a great mission in sure and hopefully not much lag please give feed back on what everyone thinks thanks for reading

Sounds cool. But since this is a WW1 based game, wouldn't the Fortress be a bit out of place?

One *lil* detail there... Boeing B-17s are World War II Era aircraft, this game is World War I era.... see the problem? If you used German gothas instead.... maybe it would work... other wise this idea has crashed and burned. Just like my energy to stay awake and alert right now.

Ok maybe a plane similar to the b17 I just said b17 cause they are my favorite but u get the point heavy bombers bombing hangars and a crew inside defending while other planes try to shoot them down in not sure how lives will be settled and how many hits u have to get on the enemy planes to take them down I just thought of the idea but other then that I think Zup can make it work

Or maybe just put the defending team in pods around the Zep as gunners? Easier to impliment and historically closer, but may need some balancing to give both sides a reasonable chance of winning

Definitely an interesting concept. And for the record, love the old school Bombers myself. More partial to the B-25 Mitchell.

Dog Fight Elite was going to have bombers, and WW2 aircraft... if enough people subscribe these enhancements will happen faster.

How, jerome? They're slightly faster, but can't be defended from underneath and also they're A LOT more fragile.

If we had the German Gotha bomber.. along with the Handley Page bomber for the allied side that would rock!

Yes, a WW1 game. (Whisper) Psst... No one bring up the aircraft carriers.

One word. Trains with flatbed cars carrying AA guns. (Er... wait, that was 7 words... ?)

We need the trains back, but maybe a bit less laggy.
