It might be interesting in bombing missions, or even dogfight missions . . . especially when we get into WWII era planes. As far as
CtC or
CtF; you won't find any examples of anything similar to this in the historical records of
WWI-WWII aviation . . . there's a good reason for this.
As far as gameplay goes in
CtC or
CtF, we already have problems with
tank glitchers, spawn killers,etc. . . . think how it would be if they had help from
AI glitchers.
The
easiest way to add this to Elite would be to add a stationary tank or two to the bases/carriers and call them "turrets." I think the hard part of this would be that there's nothing AI about the game so far. Adding AI "NPCs" to any game adds a whole other can of worms as far as glitches/support issues.
