I guess since bombers have been awarded the name "Toolshedders", certain types of guy who use fighters should be called something. "Fishbowlers"...or something to relflect the desire to kill defenseless targets. "Baby Beaters"?


  As for asking those types to play in the DA instead is really pointless. They would be there except for one thing. There is no audience. Who wants to be on the front page of a newspaper no one reads.

3 bombers to 1 fighter and it's easy to shoot planes in a bomber.

and as for the spawncamping and vulching, the morons can stop upping...Toolsheds don't have that option.


toolsheds!   :aok

My favorite is when bombers drop FH's right off the bat, all the fighters quickly try and fly somewhere else nearby with what fuel they have remaining to find a fight. Then the buffers that droped the FH's come back in a goon just as the FHs come up again 15 minutes later and proceed to cry, gnash teeth, piss n moan that he has no fighter CAP for his capture. :rolleyes:

No offense to the buff guys, I appreciate what you do. But buffing is extremely easy in the current AH. I buff occassionally and it is no challenege whatsoever to up, alt a lil bit, maybe 8-18k and drop anything I wish. The buff defensive guns are superior to any fighter weapon and the buffs take alot more damage than a fighter. I can pretty much pin point drop any structure up to 25k, and no I don't dive bomb buffs. The absolute only time buffs are really vulnerable is during the 10 seconds you're 'in the pipe' over your target. Other than that it's literally a 'flying fortress'.

Giving buffers some form of text buffer recognition for dropping buildings would imply that doing so is on par, from a difficulty perspective, as downing a fighter in another fighter (other than vulching). I'm sorry buff guys but this is simply not the case. I think that is the core of why some are not sympathetic to the subject of this thread. Dropping buildings with a buff requires very little skill, a relatively small investment in time, the desire to do so and not much else. Dropping buildings with a bomber is equivalent to vulching or spawncamping in difficulty, they don't move, they are in a fixed position, they don't fight back and you can take your time and set-up your pass.

Well bring the fighters on then.  I rarely ever have a fighter attack me at 15k unless its a 262 or a typhoon.

And I agree, bombing is far too easy now.

Hmm...tell that to my squadmate Duncey.  Of all the Raiders he probably averaged more kills than anyone else and he only flew bombers.  He'd average 8-9 kills per sortie.  And considering how few actually know how to properly engage a bomber formation, it's really not all that hard to muster a few kills.

The only possible way you can get nailed in your buffs at the field you are attacking by fighters that lift from there is if you are one of the 200 foot auger type buffers.  

Killing FH's does nothing to stop the planes already in the air, btw.

It's already taken.  Baby seals refers to the clueless players that no matter how long they've played still act like newbies.

You did not understand what I typed.  Never said anything about fishing for fighters in bombers.

Especially since buffs are armed w/ Star Wars style turbolazers.

And you obviously didn't comprehend what I wrote.  When did I say he was fishing for kills in a bomber?  He'd get those kills as he'd make his way to the target and back.   He was wasn't the type to fly like you at high altitudes in a bomber to avoid trouble.

the problem is that fightr jocks are too lazy to defend their airspace and keep buffs from blowin the crap out of their feilds ,nobody wants to climb above 12k cause its too far from the vulching,if u dont want the bombers to "ruin your fun"climb your lazy arse up there and shoot them down ,,,freeckin sissys!!!
