Is there a fix to get the lead bomber to re-delegate lead position when it's damaged? The mission I flew last night saw the lead bomber loosing 3 engines early on so the entire formation slowed down to 139mph or so. That made for a lomg mission.

Any B-17 fixes or enhancements would be nice. The B-17 is a great old bird and needs to be updated in this game.

How about getting the other damn bombers to drop bombs as well...sometimes, one load ain't enough...and that goes for all bombing planes!!! As it is. only one plane drops- and usually it only drops the bay bombs (which are smaller) and not the pylon bombs (Mossie is a great example of this!!)...if the Ju-88 can drop all its bombs, why can't the Mossie!

Another thing I bet many of us would like to see are more planes in the air. 100 would do, tho 1000 would be nice
Kinda weird to simulating Adlertag in my BoB campaign with 6 Ju-88's and four Spitfires intercepting when there should be 600 '88's, 300 spits and 400 Me-109's.

If anyone gets the source code, will it then be possible to get more a/c's in the air at once??

I'm no expert but with the level of detail involved in SDOE, I'd suspect that adding more planes would turn the game into a slide projector. EAW can have up to 256 planes at the expense of extremely detailed flight and damage models. BoB can have up to 1000 planes by not simulating the ones outside the player's field of vision.
