They're bombers to deal with the Tanks.

This will also increase dogfighting to a degree in the skies as they can only use Cannons to bring down the other planes.

There's also plenty of AA in the maps, Both Mobile and stationary.

About time too.

Yeah couldnt agree with you more, it will be much better to have cannon only dogfights.

I've seen a video ... posted on these forums showing the A-10 attacking a tank with its cannons ... the poster said it did a total of 1 bar of damage

Edit: Here is the link http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=26375

The A-10 bomber is supposed to be a tank killer, not take out other jets. Now if it only does do 1 bar of damage to a tank, then you should say "WAY TO GO EA"

Im not sure about the other jets, I guess they are bombers too.

lets hope they fly like the real thing...unlike the eurofighter in euro force which was nothing close to the real flight physics...

i wonder how powerful those scout chopper cannons will be

The scout choppers can take down jeeps and infantry like there's no tomorrow and with a skillfull pilot could be a big headache for the attack choppers. They're quick and agile but have light armour so a well timed SRAW or AA will bring them down.

If you can catch them.

As far as the A10 goes. It does more than 1 bar of damage. I know this through playing but it isn't the tankbuster everyone thinks (Cannon) although when it drops it's payload. There's not much left.

Heli's is pretty easy to take out if u dont have AA mode, they never know that ur coming Planes also dont know when ur behind them but its pretty harsh to actually shoot down a plane with only ur MG

How easy is it to shoot a scout with an AT plane? Are they going to dominate completely?

With a good pilot in both it will be tricky to hit one but with the A10's cannon it won't take many hits to bring down. The planes seem to fly that little bit slower in AF too meaning you will have more time to line up a nice run at any scout choppers you come into conatact with.

Thanks for everyone giving Karma for answers

In USI the AT planes are slow and kinda easy to hit with just about anything. By the looks of it the cannon slows down the AT planes in BF2 too (huge recoil), so they should be pretty easy targets for AA/AT rockets/Tank shells when going for a bombing run. They also don't look agile enough for dive-bombing, and who would want to dive bomb when you can take out tanks with a gun?

Edit: In USI the AT planes also have dumbfire missiles (like the attack choppers have in bf2) which were great when going for a strafing run whilst using the cannon, do they have it in these planes? (Would mean abit too much raping thuogh..)

I would of preferred no bombing.. but only AA, in my opinion that would be the true way to improve dog fights.

Im sorry that made no damn sense at all.

You dont bomb in a dogfight... And AA missles do not make dogfighting in bf2 better, not after skilled pilots were nerfed and everyone rely's on the AA exploitation to hit everything it shoots while its enemy target is dropping flares to save its life.
