Hangers

[FiLtH]

I guess Im in company that prefers the type of arcade combat that you could just as easily setup head to head  rather than taking advantage of the many players we could organize in here.

   Id pay extra to have an arena that catered to the style I prefer, and let the rest play in the MA-ish type arenas. Unfortunately that would probably be overrun in time by the masses who prefer 5 minute transits to battle, unrestricted flight, and nothing to bar their die/spawn/die play.

    It may sound arrogant, but its the product of frustration. Frustration of those without imagination, or patience to make the game feel more real.

A lot of words to express a simple idea:

“I am superior to all that don’t think like me.”

I think all Filth is saying is to have some sort of incentive to even take a bomber up. Base capture may be a little much but have some sort of reward for doing so. I find it fun to intercept or escort buffs but no one is going to take them if it doesn't even make the slightest difference. Causing grief? Anyone can do that by shooting another player down. Maybe we should disable all damage and we could fly around like in the TA. You know when you got a kill when you see the hit sprites. No need to cause all of this 'grief' by blowing the guys plane up.

I don't want a formation of 20 bombers coming in and leveling all my bases either but I'm sure there can be a compromise.

Talk about some unprovoked flames... geez.

So...don't hit the hangers.
Take out the ord and fuel this would stop the bombers and jabos as well as limit the range due to low fuel at said bases.You can also blind them by taking out the radar.So the hangers are not the only worth while targets.

Shoot me down I am resurrected immediately.  Bomb down hanger it comes right back up.

Call it grief parity.

Sound like a loop to me lol

That's why I mentioned a compromise. Still unprovoked flames for a mere suggestion. The RPS was shot down the first million times it was brought up but here we are playing it.

Something can be discussed and not written in stone.

Im just trying to get a reason to go out and bomb, and a reason for the defenders to bother going after them.
 
      What better way than to make the effects of bombing do something to bump up the passion?

       Lastnight we had B17s attack a town. I gave our location on ch200, and tried to play it up a bit. Although there were 11 enemy up...only 3-4 of them bothered attacking us. If the bombers could close bases for an extended period of time, Im willing to bet, less would be dogfighting at the Pas de Calais, and instead be hunting us down. I want those guys across the channel to HATE us for what we do to their bases. I want them to come up and fight us.

      We just need to change our thinking from the MA style to this, which imo is something fun. Sorry if I came across as "My way, or the highway", but I have a low tolerance for banging my head on the wall.

You were 30k 70 miles from the main fighting.  You want people to shoot at ya fly where the action is.

[FiLtH]

The main fighting?  See thats where we dont see eye to eye on this arena. To me the battle should be where the offending force intrudes on the defenders airspace. To you, its the shortest distance between bases. We just dont see this in the same light, so lets leave it at that.

BTW ..I alerted you guys 1/2hr before we upped...also said at one point, we'd be a few more minutes so if you need fuel, you better rtb and refuel. Gave our exact location as well. On the second flight our shoesize. And we were 20k both missions.

[KONG1]

I agree completely, I was the “offending force intruding” English air space along with several others. Why weren’t you defending?

[storch]

no one is going to climb to 30k to be targets for your 350mph buffieness until we get 30mm that evens out the lame buffieguns. try coming in at 20k and 250mph that is a more realistic bomber altitude and speed as it was during the war years.

[FiLtH]

Didnt I say we were 20k?  And we are traveling at 45 manifold. Our speed is somewhere around 250. Its fine if you dont want to engage us. I want to organize with willing people..dont like twisting arms.

Flith -

Don't let the twits drag you down....just keep organizing missions...and come to the MA and holler that you're gonna do it... I'll be there...Those JG54 and 1/2 guys are good targets. They are real vocal when they get popped  too.... I like it! lol!

Honestly, some incintive for destrutcion of a base is a good idea. If light bombers suprised a base and destroyed all the planes on the ground...well that base would be outta commision. Since you can reup continuously, killing FHS should have some impact.
