Low lvl buff

[Shuffler]

Set the ability to bail on bombers to 15 minutes or more after a bomb drop if they are under a 5000 ft. At least it'll be awhile befire they are back...

As I say there is nothing more I hate than seeing a P51,N1k, or other comets of death diving in from 15k, just to pork troops.

but folks do it all night long, the bombers get the attention I think because when they dive bomb its usualy to kill two or more hangers....> niether way is what I would call fair, but they are effective...medium bombers with an update to fusing and or retarded bombs,....geez I still cant make the connection bettween a dive bombing Lanc, and a Havoc with 8 500lb skip bombs....ehhh im not giving up on the idea, but I believe ive played this one all the way out... some people are resistant, pure and simple.

thanx for the positive posts/mail,

I agree, we do need this stuff, especially the b25, being one of the most prevalent bombers in WWII including being in the DOLITTLE RAID also the b29 is needed.

runway dmg would make it more realistic i think. i wouldnt mind it. as for low lvl bombers. i call them easy targets. you dotn have to climb hard to get them and you can attack form above.

i think low lvl bombing is a mistake by the bombers myself. iv noticed most bombers that try low lvl got shot to s*%t b4 they reach the target. spec if they are trying it on a base thea is well defended due to previous attacks

Why is that the assumption?  I guess someone can only advocate for things that will make the game easier for them?  I'm a proponent because its a historically accurate tactic/armament--period.  Here are some other things I'm a proponent of Lynx:  only receiving perk points for landing/living, getting rid of easy calibration, wind in the MA, reducing icon range, getting rid of range on the icons, increased puffy over strats and airfields, restrictions on DAR BAR range, limitations on continuous military power, engine failures caused by too much WEP, etc.  I think its a shame that its easier to sink a CV with level bombers at 8K than dive bombers coming in at 12K.  Those things don't make MY game easier.

If all that stuff that you are a proponent of was ALREADY here then maybe I wouldn't object so much but you are advocating the easiest  "GAMEY" method first.  

What part of it's gamey, it's poor play, it's lazy, it's unskilled, it'll attract every IDIOT with mouse DO U NOT UNDERSTAND ?  The part about "I don't care for rank / perky points. It gets the job don't it.  So what if I die I'll be back in 6 min and die again, again,again". or

If you haven't the patience to spend 10-15 min grabbing to decent alt otw to target, you probably need to be playing Americas Army, or Half Life, or Quake, or whichever the hell is the most popular game for the 'instant gratification' crowd.

the idea is to attack a vulnerable/un-defended target, and not being seen by radar, cant you get it?

I allready go in low level and kill towns that the Bish arent protecting, but with new ammo mods, ill be able to do it without the tell tail red radar dot,....sheeesh......never pull up+skip bombs=no dweeby radar:aok

[stephen]

dude this isnt the idiot of the month your writing, I go in at hi alt as well, im simply looking for more tactical options, when the nme gets the hint and starts intercepting at 15k, then ill go low, you guys are confusing laziness with will to fight effectivly, get it in your head that any tactic that is used to often is flawd, 20k buff is fun, but so is 100ft in a b26 ....

And what in the game currently keeps them from doing this now?  What's the difference in coming in at 800 feet and 100 feet to these types of players?  I've even seen them frag themselves now by dropping too low with the bombs we have.  There was a guy on 200 one time that said "I don't have time to RTB, I'm porking" after he was challenged about dropping and augering.  My only point Lynx is that it doesn't matter whether or not these bombs get in the game.  The kind of gameplay that you're worried about them creating is already in the game--and I think we all can agree that its cheesy and takes away from the game.

Don't accuse us as being proponents of that type of game play just because we advocate something that those players could "take advantage of".  Some of us may just want the opportunity to use other tactics to attack a base--tactics that we read about in books because someone actually used them in actual, real-life combat...
