***** and whine from bomber pilot

OK, guys, let's review.

I'm lined up over my target and see no fewer than 10 friendly fighters through my bomb scope.  No reds, just greens.

And a bandit chews me up and spits me out.  Just one.  (1)

I'm at a whopping 5000 ft.  

Pop quiz:

Fighter pilots should:

a.) vulch the field for killz and scorez and screw the bomber pilots - they're on their own.

b.)  Support the effort to capture bases by protecting inbound bombers and goons.
 

All of the above....you may find most peoples priorities in the game are:

Fly with squadmates
Protect squadmates
Protect countrymen if possible
Have lotsa fun
Land kills when possible

The first two says it all....Hope this helps.

Stay low and watch if your bombs hit

*cough*

You forgot

c.) Fighter pilots, like buff drivers, attackers, vehicle drivers etc should do whatever it is they feel like doing.  

Here is news; this arena isn't being run for your edification.

Here is more news; you aren't the center of the universe.

If you get your buff shot out of the sky, well that is Aces High. Your own 6 is your responisbility, I suggest that you get a gunner.

As a whine, this rates up there with those who complain that no-one gave them a six call.

Yours is the pathway of truth and enlightenment to which all are called, but few answer.

I give any bomber the benefit of the doubt and assist them, but if I hear 'I'm killing the FHs', you won't get a check 6, much less a clear.

But how does one know?  Unless you understand whether or not the buff driver has purity of intent, then any buff near a base that has a furball must be presumed to be the enemy, whether it be red or green.  If it is red; then kill it. If it is green; let it die.

Most of the time, these bomber pilots kill the FH and leave the VH up anyway. Even if you are an arm-chair general, it makes no sense...

Even killing the VH is an act of hedonistic self-gratification on the part of the buffs.  For the unwashed have therein destroyed all those lovely little ground targets for the heavy fighters.

Swooping down on a target fixated Flack Panzie or M16, can be quite fullfiling.  It is almost as primoridal as a vulch on an airplane.

Too few understand that only in furballs and vulching can one find the pathway to enlightenment.  All other ways lead to the dark side of the Force.

Any bomber pilot should have seen con coming for miles away, using f3 external view. As a guy who like to fly fighters & bombers

I'll always call out loc of bad guys bombers i might pass and call out loc of enemy fighters and I never miss giving 6 call, And no matter which side I fly for i Get cover from team i'm on. Yhis i believe is in return that guys know i'll call there 6s and even will get fighters off my guys 6's by having friend fly st8 towards my bombers.




 So my point once you earn respect and show you'll go extra tto help team I'll bet you call help con my 6 guys will try to cover. But its your job to call out cons because you have external view fighters don't.






  Ps  after you died did you tell friendlies con was near them to alert them?

Frankly, coming in a buff from 5k is just asking to be shot down. So I suggest a smarter mode of bombing rather than relying on the unreliable.
 
 Alt is buff's best friend. How do you expect others to be friendly to you when you're ignoring your own best friend?

[Drunky]

You guys are WAAAAAAYYYYYY off course about this and you are all being far too hard on my man, Diggly Dirk Dik Whiskey Sixer.

Everyone knows that buffs fly at 5k.  Hell, I bet when they dropped the bomb on Nagesaki they weren't more than 3k above it.

And everyone also knows that it is their JOB (spelled J O B) to defend the buffs because THEY DO THE BIDNESS.  They are the ones that make the dough, move the dirt, have important stuff to do, have priority because they fly buffs.  It's right there in the buff flyers union handbook, right next to flying altitudes.

Looks like I missed something!

Don't tell anyone it don't happen much!!

If some fighter jock came along and killed that enemy who was attacking my bombers I'd be yelling "Killstealer"!!!!!   Bombing is really only fun if you get a few planes attacking you.

A malicious satisfaction in the misfortunes of others?  

You are most certainly on the one true path to that which is your primordial innermost self.

That's why Schad's such a nice fellow.

 I liked him the moment he made the jump to AH from FA

C. Join a quality squad and ask your squadmates to join up with you on your mission to destroy the enemy. You will have escort you can count on.

People want to fly their game not yours, find like minds to fly with and move on.
