A solution for low level Buff groups
« on: September 02, 2006, 12:17:23 AM »
This one is easy.

I'm hiring a friend to do nothing but destroy enemy ordenance.  I'll pay him by the ammo bunker.  There will be no more enemy buffs.

I'll set him to work 2 hours before I log on and I won't have to put up with the STUPID LANC BOXES at 1000 feet any more.  

Think of it.  No more dive bombing Lancs.  No more Lanc hovering over GV battles.  And it's not gaming the game any more than the BUFF salamanders are gaming it anyway.  

Wheew, I feel better.

:rofl :rofl :rofl

Wow, I've never seen a lanc dive bomb from 1k feet before...  Seems diving would take some alt... So you hate them high, you hate them low...

Seems like maybe you just don't like planes with more than 3 engines.

What's wrong with low level lanc groups?

It's an easy 3 kill sortie.

Wrong Kurt.  I actually appreciate buffs that climb to alt.  It has some realism.  But I've had it with bomber boxes circling a field and attacking at low level. There's no incentive to not do it.  Buff Boxes are free.  

But this is an elegant solution.  

(hint) FIX the Buffs.  Eliminate dive bombing Lancs, B17's and B24s.  Perk the formations.

Sure, but again you talk about low level and dive bombers in the same post...

Look, 4 engine bombers absolutely DID participate in tree top attacks... Get over it.

No, they didn't dive bomb, I agree this should be addressed.

I just wish you'd be clear which thing you're complaining about.

Again I don't mind buffs working at alt, but I've had it with this low level crap.

Low level isn't crap, it was an actual tactic used by actual bombers in an actual war.

Ok and the fighter pilots will not  shoot the buff guys till we reach 10K and if we RTB getting ready  to land  under 10k they won't shoot either. Oh and btw didn't the porking of ordinace start a couple of years ago?
I think some buff guys are so decent that we will drop a line of eggs announced before hand simply right down the runway so as not to disrupt the fighter hangers. But anyway play the game the way you want and just have fun

How many times did they try Polesti style raid.  OHHH they they tried it wonce with B-26's and lost every one.

Come on now.  Low level Buff boxes are not good for the game.  And no way are they historical.  Other than a few tries.

Operation Chastise?  Lancasters doing dambusting?

Low level attacks are about as unrealistic as the jet engine.  They weren't all that commonly used, but they WERE used to effect.  The b-25 and b-26 commonly flew missions at 10k ish.  The a-20's frequently flew even lower than that.  A-20s drove the japanese nuts with low level high speed bombing runs.

Also define divebombing.  Large bombers never actually divebombed, but relatively shallow angle glide-bombing attacks were not unheard of.

I'll take a low level bomber over a high bomber any day of the week. Easier to kill low ones then high ones.
