Hmm, you said people here are whining because they're getting killed by bombers because they don't use the correct tactics. I asked you to say who doesn't use the proper tactics in killing buffs (if there really is one). How would you know who uses slashing attacks or who just flies up a buffs 6 guns blazing? And then you respond with this? Get you head out of the sand buddy, you miss the point of this thread and the things being discussed in it entirely.
So tell me, are you one of those guys who climbs on a buff's dead six, starts spraying at 2k out and then are *shocked* that the buff tears you apart?
Because in all seriousness, I see that a lot. From noobs and older players too. They just slowly sit on a bombers dead 6, or in a steady climb into the buff...and get torn apart. Some bombers are tougher than others. B26s are fast and pretty salamanderly thanks to great gun coverage, much like the B24. Lancs are a cinch, come from below and shoot off their wingtip. That's all you need to do, they'll spiral and break apart. Ju88s, for having a measly definsive guns (more like Nerf darts) have amazing armor and can take a huge amount of punishment.
Ar234s, well, once you catch up to one, they are pretty easy prey.
I fly P-38s and bombers most, I just think its funny how a bad attack is almost always the defenders fault. Seldom do people fess up to having a bad plan. That's all.
