Author Topic: Tank Town Bombing (Read 3067 times)

Over the last few days I have been hanging out in Tank Town in me Hurri IIC. Been having a blast carrying 2 x 500's and getting in the thick of the furball down low.

It has come to my attention that 2 GV players have taken exception to me laying 500 Lb'ers on them. I would like to point out that the 2 players I bombed and who subsequently questioned my sexuality, parent hood and intimate relation with members of my own family, were not individually targeted by myself. They just happened to be there. Had our spawn been camped then they would have been my priority. With no campers about secondary target were ANY Gv's..... nothing at all personal.

So to the next part of the grief. I kill more air than Gv in tank town. Only 2 x 500's and I'm landing more than 2 x Gv kills. In fact I usually miss with the second 500Lb'er. Should I at all be diving bombing GV's in Tank Town ? You can bet your arse I should. What you won't see me doing is bombing Tank Town VH's or worse, Low level carpet bombing in heavy bombers. Had I done either of these two things I could and would expect the grief but me little old Hurri with just 2 bombs......come on !

So until bombs are taken outta tank town bases or these guys cough the 15 bucks I shell continue to dive bomb GV's and then get into the fight as and when it pleases me.

I fail to see an issue with using an attack plane to attack vehicles. Dropping 14k of ord out of a Lanc to kill a jeep is dumb, and poor game play. Using a 500lb bomb on a panzer is good fun.

How is low level bombing any different than divebombing jabos?

They're targets, whether they want to be or not.

Personally, I hang out at TT in both GV's and aircraft, so, I can see both arguments here... The way I look at it, lives are free and plentiful here (minus perked rides, or course). Who cares if someone bombs your panzer, when you can just hit the H key and back in the fight I go. TT is not a place to land kills, but it is meant to be an absolute cluster from the word "go."

When people bomb me in TT, I just happen to up an Osti and take care of the situation, anyway. I would expect nothing less if I were in an aircraft and I was the one doing the bombing. This game is way too much fun to start angily trash talking just because someone dropped an egg on your turret. This isn't real war, just a simulation meant for our enjoyment and the lining of HTC's pocketbook; just ask the men and women overseas right now what real war is.

<> to everyone in TT, whether it be on the ground, over the ground, or in the ground...

<---- just my $.02

Bombing TT is problem for campers only. Life is too short here, not big diffirence how to die - by 75 AP or 500lb.

I say let the bombs fly. Then maybe next time they'll up an osti and be ready for you? But then a tank will kill them and the whine will be on again.

Question

Is plinking tanks from 5k+ away to area of the spawn point, camping?

Edit
That was worded horribly, had to fix it.

Taking a BF110 and bombing then straffing the GV's is one of my favorite things to do.
Gotta watch it though, some of those panzer drivers can hit you with the main gun pretty easy.

I up in TT periodically, then get bombed or shot in short order, no biggie, a shooting gallery. If you go there you have to expect it. Obviously, TT on the new map is intended to have planes with ordinance there to bomb guys. Otherwise, like that old map, just surround TT with 25k mountains, make those who want to bomb climb 30 minutes for it. (or make the adjacent fields ord free)

I think the GV's that should be bombed are especially those retiring from the field to go land their kills.

Thats what I'm going to do tonight, seek out and bomb those on their way back to land thier 40 kills, just to cause grief.

I am quiting smoking atm, and I am very angry about it. I think I will find that most satisfactory.

kill steal

Because unless you drop a bomb on that tank your not going to kill it with a 110.

You can disable it , but not kill it unless .
A. target towers
B. Someone else drops egg on target.
C. A tank pierces armor with ap.
