Automatically place charged bombs when using auto aim
No, removes the need to learn a useful skill for a bomber to help the lazy. Also, incredibly inconvenient.
As a bomber myself, I find it kinda stupid to add this.
Well, I don't really see how that would work. It might make things a bit faster but planning yourself is much better than letting an AI plan in my opinion.
That's the equivalent of giving swordies an easier method for determining attack patterns (getting rid of shield cancelling), and making a key that does quickswitching for you. Nope, I like skill-based tactics.
It would either be ridiculously annoying or ridiculously OP. Either way, I'll pass, thanks.
And what about when you don't want to instantly drop it? I have to switch my AA on and off every six seconds to suit the needs of the situation?
How 'bout naw?
Imagine if using a basic attack for a gun or sword automatically forces you to do the full combo.
That would be an approximate equivalent.
Nope. This won't work, IMO. Sure bombers get nothing out of AA, but still, that doesn't mean they need to. They are based around not needing to look in any particular direction. That's all AA should do: just help aiming.
also, Drakbrady, if you hold left shift you have autoaim, so you dont have to go to options to enable it
I know, but my pint remains the same. I don't want to have to on/off it every six seconds. It's also my PTT lkey so I don't want to have to accidentally prematurely explode just because I wanted to talk.
Better idea: Show the max range of the bomb you are holding when auto-aim is on. Or just make it a separate option altogether.
Since I am a musical person, I just find the tempo to effectively place bombs immediately after the charge is completed.
Capt-Chopper's idea is a nice, having a range of the bomb show while charging. However, after you use a certain bomb for a while, you practically have its range burned into your eyeballs.
You mean instantly after charge is ready or hold it until it detects an enemy in range?
