More and more bailing after bombing

Plz set a perk penalty for these guys who ruin others fun :
 
Taking off to intercept a bombers formation, take time to climb and suddenly they just... bailed.



Its really a problem as we go "specialists" now doing it every day...

HiTech thinks it's fine

Deal with it

I've only done it once as long as I can remember, and I can say I was perfectly justified in doing so.

I read a text message on the room channel: "anyone seen 2cmex and his damn tempest?"

"Yeah, he was motoring home just a bit ago. He was only at 6k, if anyones got a lot of smash"


And what do you think happened to appear at long-6 o'clock, right around 6k? You guessed it; a Typhoon icon. I waited until he closed to 3k and bailed on him. Oh the howls of rage and fury that were heard on CH 200.


Later, I even helped SYSTEM kill one of his Tempests.


As I logged off for the night, I found myself thinking:

Let's clarify:  You bailed out of undamaged planes just to grief another player? Then later you ganged that player specifically, so you could irritate them further? Then you logged off with satisfaction and pride of what you had done?

You are a real class act.

You are a real class act.

Only a select few individuals get such treatment.

So far, only MANoWAR and 2cmex have made me grief them.

Let's clarify:  You bailed out of undamaged planes just to grief another player? (...)

You are a real class act.

A class act that usually complains ad naseum  about "people not fighting, ganging, vulching" and repeatedly stated that "AH were much better off without them"  

Only a select few individuals get such treatment.

So far, only MANoWAR and 2cmex have made me grief them.

I see... others are low lifes for doing this... but YOU of course have a valid reason to do so...

People don't "make" you do things.  It is your choice to do things and allowing them to bait you into stooping to their level doesn't excuse it.

That said, I've never found 2cmex to be anyone to avoid a fight or not return a salute when shot down.  I've always thought of him as a good stick who fights hard.  I don't care for his choice in mouthy, petty wingmen he's taken under his wing, though, so perhaps you are confusing them?

[Shifty]

I like 2cmex and enjoy flying against him. He has a knack for showing up when I'm low slow and out of everything.. I guess that's what makes him so much damn fun.

[Oldman731]

Agreed.  He's talented enough that you wonder why he keeps flying a Temp, but I've had no problems with his behavior, seems quite pleasant.

You're talented enough that I wonder why you concern yourself with what other people fly..

[Tank-Ace]

What got me is when he in his tempest and 2 others in Nikis proceeded to cap a field (no base-take attempt, they completely ignored vehicles, etc), and orbited around the field for a solid 10 minutes, ganging anyone who tried to up. As soon as you got out of range of ack, or broke about 4k, they dove in on you.


When I asked him about it via CH 200, he said, "We're just looking for a fight". I was already disinclined to like him because he almost exclusively flys Tempests it seems. That just piled more on for me; anyone setting up like that with two wingmen is most emphatically not looking for a fight.


Later the same day as the griefing, I took a K4 to tank town. There's 3 G-14's around 15k (luckily I was at 23k after an AFK autoclimb). No way he knew it was me. The two wingmen are trying to bait me down, while he climbs up 3k away. I'm maneuvering with him, his wingmen climb up, and get on my six. Now not to be mean, but these guys obviously don't know what the hell they're doing in the 109. So I'm essentially beating his two wingmen in a fight, and he's used that chance to setup and come in with E. Shoots me down.


Now at this point, I'm really on the fence. Previous experience with trolling for easy kills, flys exclusively tempests near enough (Up until that point, I had no idea it was 2cmex; frankly I thought I had run into some AoM guys right up until the wingmen start maneuvering with me). But he fought smart, even if he did pretty much use his wingmen as tools to set himself up for a kill. Then on CH 200: "Lol, PWND!!!!!!".


Now think about that; 3v1, takes a solid 7 minutes for them to take me down. I'm beating the crap out of his wingmen, who he simply used to set himself up for a kill. And apparently I got "PWND!!!!" That's what killed it for me.


As for MANaWAR, I don't feel any shame what so ever. He had so many chances to prove hes something more than a troll, and proudly failed every single time; if I can make him mad, I've won. End of story.

I remember 2cmex, not cause he was a great flyer or anything, he was one of those people who flew around the DA at furball lake at 15k in a tempest lol.

so your mad--because he/they/she--bailed so you could not get any points for shooting down them down....maybe we ought to hunt he/she down-tie him to a stake and flay him.....<---got tired of sayin he/she/them

While your suggestion to actually flay bomb-and-bailers is an interesting idea, I like the OP's suggestion better.  A perk penalty for bailing out of an undamaged plane seems much more reasonable and more easily implemented.  That or simply don't enable bailing (enter 3x) until a plane has actually lost critical parts.

And you must really hate bomb-and-bailers, luny, to want to physically do them harm.  I agree they are a scourge of the game, but you are taking it to another level.
