Aztec you just said that, if I had a Ace I would beat you all, thats like having a IL-2 beat a Spit in a turn fight. Now if the settings go back, people will need actual escorts and time to set up the bombing runs not just up and bomb in the right spot everytime.

How you play your hand? If you had Aces then you win cause of have the "best". Its like saying the Spit is the best if you have it you always win. Well you better think again.

precisely!!!!!!!

bombers never just upped and carpet bombed a town at 500 ft, they had to climb to alt, have escorts, and set up their run many miles from the target. now we arewnt asking for bombers to be completely neutered, just for them to be more real, and for them not to have an autocalculating laser guided bombsight :)

  I must be the oddball from most bombers. I still do it the old way, and I usally bomb without escorts from 15k to 20k. I find it easy as it is.

Excuse me for my thoughts sir..fact is, I still have too much fun to piss and moan about much of anything in the game. No matter how you cut it, it's still the best chat room with airplanes there is.

 Let he who is without something disgusting growing in his refridgerator cast the first stone.

When the 'difficult' method of bombing was the norm...it progressed to where it was more efficient to kill hangars with tiffy's and 110's than with bombers...and the few that DID fly buffs went on the deck and simply dove them in

how returning to "hard" calibration mode for buffs will bring up skill
level in MA i cant see.

the "hard"calibration mode was only slightly more difficult than it is now
(had to keep crosshairs fixed while holding down y)

dont matter to me..... back to "hard" add wind too ...makes no nevermind i'll
still bomb with the same result.

this will not stop your "dive bombing lancs" though so what is the point?

live and let live whats the fuss????????????

i pop a woody everytime i see low buffs...............
dinner is served.

o wait i know............
the buffs took down FHs............
o no there are only 86 bases left to up out of........

this whole thing is getting pretty stale
if someone wants to up buffs and kill FHs that is his
perogative..........
if u dont like it shoot him down
(and dont tell me buffs are too tough)
follow SkatrSR around for a day and you'll be bagging buffs by the
truckload.

enjoy the game ... dont sweat the small stuff
after all it IS a game.

BJ's absolutely right, though.  Go dig some old threads up about bombers back then and you'll see.  Barely anyone could bomb well, practally zero from hi alt, so it was either low alt diving buffs (which still plague the MA) or horde tiff and 110 missions taking down the hangars that they could no longer bomb accurately.

had a problem hitting targets by level bombing.
