     I have no idea how you can say this without blushing.  Score padding isn't something I would brag about.


Not score padding, I ususally do preliminary bomb drops on bases we want to take. I usually try to take a squadie with me in a goon incase I drop the whole town, that way I can strafe any guns I miss (fly 600' AGL and use the gun turrets), and do a quick take.

I just figure that if I can get some perks for bombing the crap out of an undefended base we want to take, spikes can do it to a base he's scouted out and actually take his time in dropping bombs.

OK, its how you score pad, but for me it isn't score padding, its a tactical bomb drop in wich I get rewarded for destroying 80% of the town in a B-25C and then putting it down on a turning carrier without damage.


If you're saying I'm score padding, then by your logic, I'm score padding everytime I take up a P-51B or an FM2 (despite the fact that I'm doing so to push myself).

The only area I have an even halfway decent score in is GV'ing, and is probably the only reason I have a rank below 1000 instead of above 2000. Its damn hard to score pad in a GV since the perks you earn for buildings destroyed without landing is small, and most enemy town aren't within driving distance.

Honestly, if I see "mission heading to A35 up, join rooks", then I up bombers and go plaster the hangers or the town. If someone asks me to leave the hangers up, the I do, if not, then the go down 5mins before mission rolls in to take the base.

If I actually sough out bases with little to no defenders at them, then I would be milkrunning. Its not my fault if the knits or bish don't have guys at a base with a 5k alt advantage, thats their fault. Same as if they don't respond to a CV attack on the edge of the map, giving us 5 bases in their rear to work out of.

I think your giving me a bad time because I'm me, and because I gave honestly gained knowledge of how you COULD score pad to spikes. Next you're going to be ragging on me for shooting down a squadie if switches sides to mess up my bombing run.

Well the B29 is a perfect plane to destroy the strat 81st loves these strat runs but no plane would work better then probably the B29.Also is there a better plane for escorting bombers that has speed,good handling,ammo, and how long it can stay up in the air.

IMO, the P-51D or P-51B are the best at escorting. IDK the exact lenght of time it can stay in the air, but it can escort a bomber to the strats on any map where you could hit them in a reasonable ammount of time.

Doesn't really have the range to be a great strat escort IMO. Only toward the end when we have bases closer to the strats. And the 47M makes a much better escort than the D40.

So can the P-38 with 100% fuel and 2 DTs and still have some left after landing.  It's also true of quite a lot of other planes in AH, not just something the P-51B/D can do.
