Position of Air Start When Using Bombers

[DD_Friar]

Salute Sir,

 

When creating a bomber mission I like to give the guys a chance to set up their bomb sights etc so often air start at High Altitude (to save time taking off and climbing). 

Ideally they would like a long run to target to get things set just right in the sights, however if I use air start the starting point seems to always be quite close to target.

 

Am I doing something wrong or could this be considered for an addition, something like "Air Start - Over Air field or Close to Front Line"?

 

I get why it is like this for dog fights by the way.

 

Many thanks and kind regards

Most simple solution would be to set the starting point halfway between wp 1 and wp 2 for bomber missions?

Yes, I think that would work if it makes it easier for you.

 

Hopefully we are not the only squad / users that would find this a useful addition.

 

Many thanks and kind regards
