Tank Town Bombing

So, given you don't have some specific retribution on your mind at that moment, you think its OK to bomb GV's (i.e. tanks), knowing full well there will be almost no air defense vehicles or ack to hurt.  Maybe there might be fighters, but quite ofetn not, so your perfectly safe and think you're NOT score padding?   Really.

I really like your version of events.  That would be great.  I could score pad for days with no anti air and no fighters but alas that's not the case.  At least not when I'm on.

Sure and true to the fact there is little to no anti air but to go in low in Hurri IIC with niki's, Spits, L-gays, 190's, p51's and a gaggle other low ENY planes is a hard place to come out alive.  It would be safer for me to stay 6 to 8 k in fighter mode and leave the bombs at home.  

My attack score has been hammered over the last few days doing this.  Often miss with those 500's to be left "cherryable" but ya know what ?  It's all good fun for me and sharpens the old SA

I do confess that the Hurri is the ideal plane for me in this situation...almost cheating:t , if not for the views.

Here's how I read the issue. Some groups want TT to be the GV play ground, failing to realize that CAS evolved alongside Tank Warfare and ground warfare as a whole. First as spotter aircraft, then dropping bricks, small grenades, etc. Personally, I enjoy working as the FAC and bringing ordinance to bear on groups of GV's that are causing a lot of trouble for my teammates. Sometimes, in the process of marking those targets - I pickle off a bomb or two - usually with successful results but not always.

Point is, effective GV combat is a result of knowing where your enemy is and exploiting his weakness's and lack of SA. Having aircraft working in conjunction with GV's in a CAS and FAC role help my teammates have a decisive advantage in this.

Now, if you have fighters over your GV's to prevent me from doing my job - all the more power to ya. So if you get a bomb down your hatch, hey - get some drivers who can do their job properly. Don't complain across country lines.

Respectfully,

Wolf


P.S.  If I do see an M-16 who's causing trouble for other aircraft, that gets my attention quickly - and usually vector a fast moving M8 or Jabo to rattle his cage.

I have to admit, what Wolfie describes is actually one of those things that can make for a very complete and immersive gaming experience.

It would seem to me that, aside from the ridiculous placement of the spawns (I'd much prefer the spawns be several miles apart, and have numerous smaller factories scattered around, instead of the single congested town, but that's another matter), that the scene over TT is possibly more realistic than the pure GV spawncamping. Bombers and jabos coming down the passes, anti aircraft fire, lead flying, fighters attacking the bombers and jabos, etc. Fuh stuff.

Without all the planes, TT is nothing but a big camping festival. That's it.

I remember i'd take off in a 109E and climb up the mountain. Id dive inside and...

Yeah, I still bombed that one. I remember a mission where we took 4 B-24s and scalled the mountains to bomb TT. Its fun to listen to all the whining as we leave fires in our wake...
