Geesh...

So bombers can bomb too easily...
Bombers guns are too powerful...
All bomber guys take down fighter hangars first...

All these assumptions and stereotypes are just silly.

Based on the whines, err...complaints I'm seeing posted, the next demand will be that bombers shouldnt be allowed to climb higher than you are.  And, it should ask for permission to knock down a strategic target.  Oh, and of course, we are not allowed to fire back and defend ourselves from fighter pilots who lack proper techniques to attack the various bombers out there.

Good grief!

There's a lot of fighter guys out there that are deadly when it comes to intercepting buffs and knowing their weaknesses.  From slashing attacks to attack from beneath.  Perhaps you guys so eager to mute the effectiveness of a bomber ought to take a few lessons from such aces?

I'm sure if you were to look at the kill records of most of us that have been termed "furballers", you will probably see a ratio of 5 to 1 or even in some cases 15-1 ratio of kills over bombers.

Whaaat?

I get kills all the time in bombers and survive.

Most people are idiots about approaching buffs,  even many smart enough to slash in or come up from below will still hang in the 6 zone and get the stuffing blown out of them.  The trick is you gotta learn how to properly man your guns in combat situations.

At the same time, you'll get plenty of ops to kill people in a battle, I usually line up and calibrate, and then just sit in my guns. The smartees will wait until they think you in the bomb sight and attack.  I've learned to just wait on them in the gunners position and then pop into the bomb seat and drop. It surprises them when your guns come up when you are so close to the target, many times they think you have a gunner and peel off.

Also don't fire at nme when they are too far away, I let them get real close so that they think you aren't paying attention and then shred them.

Just a few hits on a fighter usually discourages them and they leave you alone after a couple of passes.

Pyro,

This sounds tough but how about something like this: (64 characters max)

System: Easyscor landed 2 kills in a B-17g 30% Dar Factory 20% A21 Town[ 10% Fuel Factory of Squadname - truncated]

One line, no squad credit etc if line runs over maximum character length, there wouldn't be enough room.  Line starts as usual with kills,
then list of largest percentage targets damaged and ends with squad name but is truncated at 64 characters.  This takes care of missions
which hit multiple targets.

Notice there is no credit for airfield targets so it might move bombers toward strat targets and teammates would know they might have an
advantage at the local field or zone.

kj, I have no problem killing fighters in my bombers. Just dont have many pilots to challenge my buffs, most fly the other way.

Ok Ack ack.Why doesnt it?The furballers want an enviornment where they wont have bases closed down on them.The "goal" is to reset to win perks as far as the game goes.Some people want to fly buffs and thats their game.No sence is calling them toolshed fighters because of that or makeing comments about their sexual preference.Now to the point of the thread,I dont see a way to reward buff damage outside of a2a kills.As someone said beforeDive bombers dont get any extra.But Im open to suggestions and if I dont like to fly the way you do you can rest assured I wont belittle you for that.Whatever floats your boat.I just think its bogus to jump on people that fly the buffs.

I'll say this and then I'll leave you poor wittle guys awone.

The war used to be a premise for the fighting. Now, the war is a twisted rationale to prevent any fighting. The warriors, and many of the bomber pilots (I won't say all. I know better. Those of you I do know will hopefully know I exclude you from this rant.), are focused only on preventing any sort of fight, because only by preventing the fight can they possibly take the fields that will get them  the grand prize of toolshedding, the only honor that tops the flag... winning the war. If they can't prevent the fight, they get wiped out. Now, because they aren't up to the challenge of fighters (don't even flame me on this again, the guy said it himself), they want praise for choosing the path of least resistance once again. **** that.

For those that crave the score,bombing is an sub section to gaining higher averages.For those that love the buffs its a love affair with the buff.For those who just like fighters,and Im 99% one of em,the hypocracy of some against those that feel the same affection for the buffs is not only childish,but also a negative impact on the arena.Lighten up guys.Everyone doesnt like the same thing.If they did fat chicks would NEVER get lucky:rofl
