I would like a deployable bomber.
Bombers should be at least as tough as the current deployable transports. Current bombers are good for only one player-collision before they are in desperate need of repairs.
Pitch angle could be increased as well as yaw, which would make them more maneuverable and provide better visibility of ground targets.
The top speed on both should be increased at least another 10 mph.
(Currently bombers are 75 mph and transports are 85 mph.)
Identical speed and flight characteristics for both would be preferable.
Failure to compensate for the speed difference between them has caused me to over or under-shoot many of my intended mid-air victims.
Some kind of forward-shooting weapon like a chain gun could be added to Transports. This could result in some interesting dogfights.
The ability to make repairs while in-flight would be nice.
Some kind of audible or on-screen warning when an enemy player is aboard is necessary.
Currently, team indicator tags for passengers are not visible to pilots. This has led to numerous accidental TKs.
All bombers and transports should be red and say "S']['U A][R" on them.
These changes may seem to be self-serving, but I think they could give a stronger offensive capability to both teams, and could result in fewer scoreless games.
