I disagree
I see and have seen very few true of these so called "Suicide porkers" To be a suicide porker one would pork a base then intentionally auger, or intentionally auger while diving on 1 set target
While they do exist they are generally few and far between. What normally happens is base ack will do its job and get the aircraft or someone in a field gun. Killing the attacking aircraft or Often damaging its flight controls to he point where the plane is unflyable causing the it to crash. Thus creating the illusion of a true suicider.
Orr some of the planes up at said base will chase down the porker and kill him. But thats no suicide. If it were 75% of all flights should be considered suicide flights
Most people like myself who do base strikes never intentionally auger our planes We do base strokes and then either
A- try to run away (extend)
or
B- stay and offer a fight
The single best way to stop the Base porker is to stop being so damn lazy and defend your bases better. Thing is its NOT all that difficult
The other night there were a couple Bish actually grew brains and were doing just that. and managed to either stop my mission or at least make me dump ord so as to make my strikes less effective and destructive.
Now someone's gonna whine. "But they come in at 20K and dive in before anyone can stop them"
Pure Nonsense! 75% of my strikes and most strikes I see come in at 10-15K and often under 10 K. And speaking for myself. My preferred alt for attack is around 10K. If you catch me at 20K while on a strike mission its probably cause I was AFK for a while.
What we (base porkers) do is find the crease in the enemy aircraft and ride it in. More often then not nobody even bothers to try to stop us or at least me.
You want to stop attacks. look for those creases and keep an eye on your dar. unless its down you can see us coming.
I've personally thwarted and had base porking missions totally thwarted this way.
Oh and the only reason there ARE milkrunners is cause you LET them milkrun. Stop letting them milkrun and it will no longer be a milkrun. But i doubt you will stop those from trying though you may gain a few kills and find some pretty good fights.
Personally I feel no pity for those that whine about the base porkers yet refuse to do anything more to stop it then to whine about it and demand HTC to do something about rather then do something yourselves. You deserve what you get cause you let it happen
Here's what I do. I base MY attacks on the greatest threat to my bases That is Those bases which look to be launching to attack and capture my bases.
Then I look for the crease in the defense cap and plot my course accordingly. Then I up a base in a real shallow climb, my standard ROC is usually around 1.5-2 depending on plane choice this gives me enough E to fight if I get jumped along the way and enough speed to get to where I wanna go without having to fly an hour to get there.
My targets of preference are usually in this order and really this the order of importance
1- Barracks and ack
2- Ammo, Radar or VH and ack
3-Fuel and ack
I do NOT hit fuel first as it will not stop a bombing run or a base capture inasmuch ad goons and most bombers can fly for a long long ways on only 25% fuel And if you dont get ALL the fuel you have stopped nothing
I strike barracks first to prevent basecapture and resupply to any Gvs attacking my base, or Gvs defending the base Im attacking.
Next I go to work on ammo, And radar now this stops the bombers cold. It prevents them from bombing friendly GVs on the attack and from doing large scale bombing of my base. (stops or at least slows down porkers too)
Killing local dar now only give you a darbar to go by. making my next runs even easier and gives me the ability to come back even faster
Then the VH.. the reasons are obvious I do not kill this sooner cause usually there are enough defending against the GVs to delay them while I hit 1 and 2
Last on the list is fuel. I hit fuel only If you havent learned your lesson about attacking my bases from strikes 1 and 2 then I have no choice but to ground you.
Fuel is occasionally bumped up on my list but usually only to a # 2 status and I only do that when I see hoarding. I HATE hoarders. You hoard, you loose your fuel, simple as that.
And that what happened to the Rooks at 105 last night.. But I killed troops first.
Now you know what I do. How I do it and why.
All you gotta do is stop being so lazy and stop me.
that of course is an unlikely cause most of ya are too lazy.
Question,- How many Rooks,Bish or knights does it take to fix a lightbulb?
Answer- NONE they'd all rather just sit in the dark and whine about it
