just make it to where if ya bail your bombs do 0 damage.
if your hit and your plane is going down fine but if ya bail within a certain time limit with NO damage from a enemy plane,GV or ack then your bombs do nadda

easy solve.....if you bail out of a plane that has no damage u loose perk points....crashing is different...but bailing out of a plane with no damage what so ever and then minus 5 perks for it will stop this.....bailing out of a aircraft with damage wont do anything

Its obvious isnt it that the bomber dont even know your there and just bails out of embarassment for doing such an awful job of bombing?

no u shouldnt be able to bail out of undamaged aircraft it should lock the bail button till u get damaged. At least that way u could get a few shots on them so if they did ditch sum1 would always get a proxy.

Just a thought.....

Why do most fighters try to land?

Maybe give attack/bombers a diffrent landing message that reflects what they have destroyed? .... not what they shot down......

Of course they bail, why would you waste your time on the return flight ????  probably the only guys who land are guys who worry about their overall rank. I dropped all vehicle hangers on 3 seperate bases and shot down a spit flew home all unescorted  and got 7 perks to spend on what ????????Guys  in fighters can do that in minutes . Dropping the hangers took pressure off of one base and enabled the capture due to the enemies inability to re supp or support by land.  In all the flight was about an hour. Looking at that in prospective it far out weighs upping a fighter to dogfight with others to achieve nothing other than satisfaction. Of course all this depends on what you percieve as the object of the game.  Perk the bombers as much as you want , everyone has thousands of useless points to spend... OR.... perk them highly but make landing them worthwhile by making the perks sensible and offering more perk bombers or other ways of spending them. Perk formations or only count the score if they land or are shot down.

I am certianly not griping about people not playing the way I think they should play..... what alarms me is that so many people *are* playing in a fashion that I think might be detrimental to the game in the long run.

people are more than welcome to play how ever they want to play... but it does alarm me that the style of play I like (kill others and stay alive) is on the complete opposite side of the spectrum from the guys who are playing this new style.....(only in the plane until the brief moment of excitement is achieved and then bail out)

Who cares if they bail??  Let 'em bail, then you know they already dropped their load so you can go after more important enemies in the air IMHO.

Some one did make a good point, in a way. There has yet to be more variety of perked bombers to spend perks on. I've only been here for two years, though.

I have no problems being vulched & spawn camped. I have no problems with other people flying La7 and run away from me (for they use their planes advantage).  I donīt tell other people to "stop milkrunning and help defend our bases". You can furball or toolshed whole day.
But when I start an interception, climb 10 minutes to 25K just too see the other guy bailing as he notices me... grrr.. at least he can TRY to shoot me down :furious
