Tool sheds my b*tt

Have you ever tried to do a bombing run and hit a target when the are fighters all around and ack coming up.
Fighters atleast can move around.
Can't do that and hit something.
Ever wonder why more bomber crews died in WWII than fighters.
It's harder than going around and throwing bb's around.
Also next time try hitting a carrier on the move.
PS you fighter jocks would never take all these fields woth out us BUFF's.

[Furball]

yes, its easy.  take 20 mins getting to target, press Y for 3 seconds, drop a few bombs, lazer gun a few fighters, and thats it.

who said we wanted to take bases?

[FTSnafu]

I'll admit I suck as a fighter jock.
But it ain't easy or all of you would be up
here going slow and getting jumped.
Would just like to get alittle credit.

Buff pilots are a very under appreciated part of the game.

Some actually do prefer to do it properly from alt, and it can take longer than 20 mins. Only to get bounced when they are nearly to their target.

There must be someway of giving them credit through system messages.

Apparently OUR buff drivers want to make movies as well as
history now.

Anyone else hate how it's been made easy mode to calibrate your bomb sight?

When I 1started playing I was a bomber. It was simple and after 2 months I could easily hit things. I soon got bored and worked on becoming a fighter. I've now been playing about 7-8 months and can say I'm still far from mastering the fighter department. And this isn't WW2, it's a WW2 flight sim. Oh, and try to understand this, we don't want to take a base or sink a CV. We want to fight real people who take off from them. This is your 4th or 5th thread on the same thing, we get it already. You like to land grab and think everyone else should too, gotcha:aok

You admit you suck as a fighter jock, how long did you try? Did you just take the easy road and go with buffing after gettin shot down a few times in fighters??? Trust me, to become even a decent fighter you have to get your butt handed to you for a good 3-4 months AT LEAST from a good stick. If you flew a fighter in the MA just following the horde and got killed then you have learned nothing. If you want to learn to fly a fighter let me know, I'll help you. Thats a serious offer, let me know.

Its the other way around.  It is because it is so easy and boring that we dont do it.  You can kill from 1.5 out with a little practice and if you really have probs holding the stick still for 3 secs to calibrate then well, try the mouse (much easyer).

I enjoy doing the buff run, although lately Im in the P-38J a lot.

What annoys me is HTC has made the bomb sight synch up a lot easier to bring in more buff pilots.  Yet it seems most of em opt for the NOE/suicide thing.  

Gives those of us who do actually use the sight and use some tactics to get into hostile airspace a bad rap.

Yup, far too freaking easy.

Get real. You get credit for killing planes because they can fight back last time I looked a FH wasnt trying to kill you. And with the "its harder the going around throwing bbs around" thing yea flying a buff and bombing stationary targets really takes a rocket scientist to figure out. Oh and the carrier thing LMAO thats just about as easy as hiting a hanger. And last time I looked anyone with 4-5 ppl can take a base w/o buffs: 2 fully loaded 110s for the town, 1 190F8 for vh and ack and vulching , 1 190A5,A8 for ack and vulching and a goon. You jsut gatta know what your doing. Most ppl jsut go deack and vulch while GVs roll out and kill them. And before you get all "well you must be a fighter jock" I'v been playing for 4 years the first 6-8 months I didnt set foot in a fighter then I thought "hey Ill try a plane that can only shoot forward." Been killing bombers and others fighters ever since and about once every week I hop in a buff and go bomb toolsheds and its goten alot easyer then the old AH1 days, these days I can hit a VH from 30k thats alittle TO easy.

Some enjoy the aspect of flying bombers in a large group using
assigned formation positions and detailed target instructions, using salvo and delay calculations, and the historical aspect of re-enacting it,,,how it effects the current map or war,,or how ez or difficult it is may be irrevelant.

But, yes, too easy

[Kweassa]

I miss the old calibration routine..

 Now, THAT, took skill.
