If you want large formations but want to save your FPS (Idea, untested) you can probably just use the scripted explosions and destroy terrain triggers when the bombers pass over the target (plus some time for the "bombs" to fall), that way the game isn't doing aerodynamic calculations on hundreds of bombs, which I presume is the reason the CPU usage spikes and you drop frames. The other reason would be all the impacts, but that is graphical, so nothing will help that except no blowing stuff up. I think you could get away with significantly less explosions if they were scripted and still have a convincing bombing run (less the bombs). If you must have stuff falling, I think duds or practice bombs (not sure if that is possible), would probably hurt less in the frames. Maybe you can get to testing this, it would just be a zone trigger for entry or a flag on the waypoint, a time delay and then some scenery destruction areas and some explosions. Just make sure that the scenery destroy is like 1 second after the explosions, otherwise it might look janky. I think that this could make stuff like this feasible in multiplayer missions, with the caveat anyone without a supercomputer avert their eyes from the dropzone when the bombers hit their waypoint. It would definitely help, as I am pretty sure servers struggle when there are too many aircraft (bombs and missiles included) spawing in all of a sudden. I've done similar stuff in the editor to produce shelling and ruined cities, so I'm pretty sure that it can be done.

[@folftasticgaming7491]

I swear youtube listens to me. I was JUST messing with this in the editor to set somethin up for me and the boys. This helped SO SO much. Thank you ❤

[@sn4k3f117]

This really helped me man thanks. I was able to create huge bombing raids. Good stuff!

[@Mojje42]

Cap at 5:45 i do believe that clicking another group at that point doesn't "wreck" things you only change which group is Group leader and if one miss clicks one just changes the Group or just clicks the right group to change it back

[@superflyguy4488]

Did this last night for the first time ever, worked great so i thought about how well modern AA systems would do and to be honest not that great, the radar systems took forever to lock on and the IR ones even longer.

[@TheSlugstoppa]

BRILLIANT !! Thanks for the Demo - Gotta try it out now.

As sadistic as this sounds; carpet bombing (in DCS) is f*cking awesome!

[@HeartbreakOne1337]

PETA has left the chat.

[@zebraafs]

Yay, can't wait to try it out!!!! Thanks Cap and the beautiful humans for all the amazing videos!!!!!

[@Marmocet]

You should do a mission where the objective is just to indiscriminately carpet bomb a city, and maybe only set things like schools, nursing homes and hospitals as strategic targets. You should specifically target residential areas. You could call it "Operation Senseless Killing" or something catchy like that. Make sure you use the B-1B and the B-2 bombers. Ideally the city should just be flaming rubble when you're done.

[@samspeed6271]

A very interesting tutorial, I shall be trying this out. We must deal with these dangerous killer robot cows. Also, just the way Cap was saying Bom-Bing was making me laugh. A small thing that just cheered me up a bit.

Can you fly in the b17 or just watch them in a different plane?

[@tagquasar8791]

seems i dont have any (german) bombers in the dropdown list of available aircraft, do i need an expansion?

[@sn4k3f117]

Thanks. Very helpful!

[@veespike]

Would it work if you created a unit template for the box and then just pasted that in when you wanted to create a strike mission?

[@grimreapers]

Interesting, will investigate.

[@veespike]

@@grimreapers It appears that you can can save the group as a template, but you cannot save the waypoint actions and formation triggers to the template.

[@SteviePonder123]

Cheers cap

[@russellbertrand3242]

loved the video, but I can't generate carpet bombing by B-52s. can you show how please. FYI i don't have WWII assets pack, is that important for B-52 carpet bombing

[@Tomas9970_1]

I tried it with B-1s and A-20s, which makes me think that it works with all bombers. Have all of your groups snapped into position?

[@Billy19able]

hey Cap, im having problems with the formation... when i follow exactly what you do i get 4 difretns combat box groups. the first is air. 1-1, air. 2-1, etc... can you please help me fix this?

[@xdenricoudx]

For some reason, the formation is a massive echelon right of box formations and I can’t seem to fix it. What do you think I should do?

Hi Cap, I have a problem where I set a b-1 spirit to bomb a target. I simply make it fly through a few waypoint and in the waypoint before the target I set the bomber to drop bombs in a specific place but it just flies in a ducking circle

[@grimreapers]

do you mean B-2? I haven't tried that yet.

[@RAVIOLIdS]

@@grimreapers No i mean the AI B-1B, its like a concord with wing sweep. I did mess up with the name since the b-1 is not a b-2 spirit. My apologies cap and sorry for my informality writing.

[@hjbedoya]

I manage to make one Big formation 108 B-17s but after doing the bomb run the bombers start circling the next waypoint. I'm trying to do edit the mission I made and all the formation info is gone and WWII Bomber element is now 45m x 30m have they change it?

So, having an issue when I try this.... All ACs start off in a line formation and then only the lead bombers of each element form up with the LEADER element. The rest of the ACs remain behind in a linear formation.... Any clues????

[@leiferikson6957]

Thanks for your great videos. I thought it is important to set the "Reaction to threat" to "None"?!? Or is it not important?

[@grimreapers]

Can do, it means they will not split formation when attacked.
