I belive what Lynx iis trying to say is by salvoing 12 bombs out on the run we'll say only half are blowing stuff up, because the other half is just blowing up craters, and you don't get points for that, so your way your hitting at 50%

Salvoing one at a time, and dropping on clusters, or groups of buildings will give you 2 and 3 building per bomb hit making your hit percentage 300% or more.

Seeing as LYNX has 7 bomber runs and is ranked 149th in bombers he may know what he's talking about.  :)

Always when im in the other room". I think that was the last month I let someone gun for me! (Sad thing about having a gunner is you dont get credit for the kill, ask Dolby. I got a 262 with a B-17 but since he was on board, I only got the assist.)

your ground speed and indicated speed are different and the difference changes as your altitude changes.

ex:
160mph at 10k may be 190 ground speed.
160mph at 30k may be 270 ground speed.


Also, who ever does the most damage to the enemy plane, gets credit for the kill.

Then something is wrong because from the nose turret I got his:

no. 1 engine
no. 1 oil
no. 2 oil
Port-side fuel
Pilot (kill)

So, saw my own shots do the damage, as I was taking him head-on. I have had it in the past, where I have gunned for someone and not fired a shot whil the pilot did the gunning. I got the kill without pulling my trigger and he got the assist. I think when you have a gunner in a bomber the gunner gets the kill.

Oh yeah, and as for speed, true airspeed is about 220, at 18,000 feet with around 980 galons of fuel at the IP and RPMs at 2,100. No wind, by the way. What is the difference in airspeed/groundspeed in that situation? (Thats not sarcasm, I really havnt gotten to the point in my edjucation when I learn these things)

TBM despite very poor guns is a very nimble little plane, and the 109 easy to fall victim in a turn fight. but congrats on beating, then humiliating a little kid trying to have fun in 'your' game....

people are always surprised when an SBD, TBM or D3A tries dogfighting them, so much so that they're usually easy meat in LW :t

Wait a minute!  Are you guys talking about scores in this game?

Why the heck doesn't anyone tell me about these things!

And what are these bomb thingies you speak of?




Oh, I get it.  You mean this big things under the wings with gas in em?

You mean I'm supposed to drop em?  Raptor never drops his and claims he can dogfight just fine that way.   Of course he flies with a mouse, or so he says.  I wonder if he get's lots of mouse droppings in the cockpit?  Is that why his 38 always smells of cheese?

If I drop these big things under the wings on another plane will the bad guy fall down then?

I don't get it.  I'm confused as usual.......


Forget it.  Getting into the air is tough enough.  Anyone have a jack and an air pump I can borrow?

he didnt piss me off at all.  i had them still uploaded on onpoi.net from the original thread which was in the aircraft and vehicles forum (it was deleted).

a quick search of his posts would show that he is indeed not me, not stang, or not a BK.

No, but you can borrow my PJ if you want. Just a little maintenance needed after my last flight, but im sure you can handle it no problem....
