But I find it interesting that the thread starter and most avid supporters of this issue, is a group who do not fly bombers....ever!!!! They complain about bomber issues, say it is the easiest thing in the game to do but....they never do it
They make fun of and taunt people who know how to bomb and enjoy capturing bases but they never partake in dropping hangers or buff flying??
They only claim to be interested in "one" aspect of the game, but claim to be educated on "all" aspects. Seems silly realy.
MMM very interesting. Last I heard you guys wanted nothing to do with those toolshedders, so if that IS the case, stop worrying about how they use their tools of destruction.
Want to make a bet? Before I ever got as involved with fighters as I am now,years ago
all I did was fly bombers. I started off probably the same way many players do. They find a plane that they know about and loved to read about and get in it and start flying it. For me it was the B17. I had family members who flew in B17's durring WW2 so they have always, always been one of my most favorite a/c of the war, or a/c period. Time only permits me to get in a few flights on line now so I stick to short, fun, furballs. Which are getting harder and harder to find.
I have nothing, nothing against taking bases. I am completely against flying in hordes numbering over 50 just to take one single base. There is nothing tactical about that. There is no skill involved there. But then again, this thread isn't about taking bases is it now? So go hijack a thread that pertains to such things.
Back on the topic of bombers and Jabo.
What I see now, is many players just bombing the living hell out of anything they see just for the sake of bombing it. If they can't dive bomb it to death with a fully loaded P51 they'll dive bomb it with a fully loaded set of B17's. What these players dont understand is that it can be somewhat fun to actually HIT what you're aiming at when you drop from higher alt's. Sure the climb to the targets can be boring, but that's the way its saposed to be.
I constantly hear people getting upset because they are being yelled at on country channel for diving bombing, and how lame they are to do it. They'll come back with..." Well do you know how many fighters I flew through to get to that base??!?" Big fluff'n deal. Does it mater how many fighters they had to fend off otw to the target if they imediately die after they let their bombs go?
Dam right Im going to make fun of these people. They're helping wreck the game and further transform it to Quake High rather than Aces High.
Or should I compliment them on how wonderfly they augered into the gound with no wings on their B17's after they ripped off in the dive to kill the fighter hangers?
