A solution for low level Buff groups

Reynolds, do you ever listen to people on VOX.  They don't kill perk rides to get perk points.  They kill players in Perk rides just to cause that player to loose his perk ride and thus perk points.  They swarm perk rides just to grief the Perk driver.  :aok

Let the Ostwinds and M-16's spawn like buff groups.  You spawn 3 Ostwinds or 5 M-16's to deploy for base defense.

Oh and make sure they are slaved together so that no matter where they are placed on the base they all focus on one target.  

Problem solved.  

(In case somebody misses the sarcasm.  The idea of spawning 3 buffs with no perks is not working.)

I like it! And perhaps replace the 37mm with the 40mm Bofors that the ships have.

Yup, another request to beef up air defense capabilities.  :D

I got to watch a lanc formation divebomb a neigboring gv base last week. I've heard people complain about it, but hadn't seen it until then. It was like watching a car accident. I knew I needed to move and do something about it, but was too stupified and curious to do anything but watch.

I know for a fact that when I started flying lancs (about a year ago, I think?), I couldn't do half the things this lanc pilot was doing without ripping a wing off or loosing my drones. Today, I'll still fly high and slow (20+K & 200 indicated) so I won't loose a wing or loose my drones before I land. Did the code change to allow a lanc to fly like an attack plane? Or did I miss something in my training?

I think I'll take divebombing lancs like I do spawn camping and airbase cap (vulching), it's something that's going to happen. It's part of the game. Key word there is GAME[/i]. It's just a game. If I didn't like the game, then I would stop playing.

Now, lets not get on the carpet bomber's case. As long as he was level when he dropped, that is okay.

He was not level...  Only a few do it while they are level, besides, if they HAD to do it level they wouldn't be able to hit anything. :rofl
If you ever carpet bomb me Rey I will just laugh, at least I died by someone with a sense of humor! :rofl :aok

Buffs are easy kills from the air.  Perking buffs would just be putting a price on their heads.  Where it might reduce the lame Buff drivers, the real Bomber Aces would pay the price.

The only correction that in my opinion needs to be made is bombs can only be dropped from the F6 position and only after being in the F6 position for 5 seconds. The other thing and might I add the most important thing is to give bases and ground units some effective Flak weapons to work with.  You know, such as the 8.8-cm Flak 41 or the 5-cm Flak 41.

Nop, cause the real buff guys will not be found at 3K.  Not many fighters above 10K alt.  

Now please go tell y our squadies to stop vulching FT please.

I agree with you Squirrel, base defense sucks right now, especially at V-Bases.  This weekend I and a few other AK's were bouncing back and forth between three v-bases trying to defend.  All that was coming in were Diving Bomber Formations, sometimes 3 or 4 sets at a time.  One individual (he shall not be named) responded from a comment from me that he had plenty of moves and could kill me other ways if he wanted to... yet he logged right after most likely knowing I was going to hunt him down.  It is bad when a set of Bombers at 1.5k can't get hit by auto-ack, and they just roll on through and flatten the place... Base defense really needs to be beefed up.

Fixed it. Also, im only saying this because I have only seen dive-lancs once, as when im on the ground, I have the incredible luck of only once having encountered a lancaster, when im in the air im usually in a fighter too busy with some spit-tard to notice anything else, OR im in a bomber, and therefore at least 16,000 feet up. And I dont TECHNICALLY carpet bomb, (Never in a Heavy unless im carpet bombing a town) but when I am in, say, a 110 or an Il-2, my aim is so bad, I release several bombs on one target (I dont salvo, I adjust my aim with every bomb.) but thats only in attack planes. I am trying to master level bombing at low alt. with no bomb-sight, so you might get carpeted by an A-20! lol.
