I'll be honest, I exagerated a lil bit. At most I shot one guy down twice and almost a third but I was able to land. He upped from a field in front of me the second time and the third was the same field he upped from the second time. The field I was landing at was near that field. Due to fuel levels I didnt have an option to go to another field toland.
I was just trying to illustrate a point that to some degree as a bomber pilot, I too feel that in some cases the gaming balance for bombers is slanted. I just feel that the same guy who can re-up with a fresh plane each time to come and try to shoot me down after shooting him down is being given the instant win button. A bomber even with all its guns and multi controled planes, after being shot up, doesnt have any advantage over the fresh fighter. Keep in mind to, My argument is toward the guy who keeps re-upping and being a salamander determined to get the last word in.
As far as loitering, that is something I really try not to do. I want to get in, drop, and get out. If I extend out and come back to drop what I have left, I still get out. I also try to use the correct bomber for the altitude. If I take up heavies I am usualy anywhere from 12-30k. I find people who only seem to know how to do low level dive bombing runs with heavies rather lame.
