Bombing = waste
« on: March 05, 2007, 09:04:03 AM »
I finally caved in lastnight and took lancs to TT, nit vh was knocked down I waited and waited..it finally popped. I up once blam I hear a shot from behind..ok..up again blam blam from all around...ok these guys are way deep in spawn Ill up a fighter and bomb em out...ord down...next close base...ord down. So Im faced with flying like 5 sectors...gonna make it worth my while...I up lancs. Over a hr later I have great alt Im at TT...set salvo...drop.....Nada.  Two Morals to the story.

1. Killing ord will probably result in more heavy buffs in TT because range is forced so they can alt.

2. I really suck in Lancs.

But how many of those who bomb GVs in TT have the time & patience for such a >30min sortie?

newb toolshedder:  hey?

Vet toolshedder:  what?

newb toolshedder:  I can't even up in TT because they have it camped!

Vet toolshedder: then bomb them!

newb toolshedder: Why don't we up some Jabo's and fly over there real fast and kill a couple of them spawn campers?

Vet toolshedder:  Why don't we up lanc's, and fly over there slow and kill them all!


:D :aok

In the time it took you, you could probably have resupped the center island fields and gotten ord back up.

I personally choose not to bomb the VHs at TT, but anything with an icon is fair game.

I have several times taken it upon myself to run m3's to bases to get ord up...Im done with that team doesnt = solo effort.

I dont think id ever go for a TT vh but it seems like people like taking down nits VH alot if I catch whatever country it is theres odds ill make it a personal mission to keep that countries vh down untill I decide to log...The TT vh bombing is crap, But there will always be that debate.

Lastnight I was getting bombed in TT by guys I never even heard of and never even seen in a GV. I love having my stats killed by a 2 week wonder.

Oh Rondar Im not out to bomb you man its like your a magnet...heck the other night I went to ditch ord to engage a 110 and I get the message you have killed Rondar #1.

I've been playing a lot more as GV just for something different and I still don't get the whole TT deal.  

I tried giving TT a go last night and it just doesn't fit my playing style. When I'm in a tank I want to keep moving and attack ground targets on the move. Seems what most want to do is sit in one spot and cherry pick spawns.

I'm not going to bash them for it, to each their own, I'll agree having to drive to an A base or another V base sucks a bit but so does sitting in one spot spawn camping just to rack up a bunch of free kills. Hell at least if you vulch an airfield in a fighter you at least have to fly the thing.

Only time I will camp a spawn, is if I'm trying to defend a base that's under heavy attack or if it's to take a base. I've spawn camped 2 A bases so far while waiting for more air support to keep a fighter cap.

As far as the whole bombing GV's at TT, I still fail to understand why they feel it's unacceptable to bomb them.  Ok I might find it a bit lame to try to carpet bomb them in a Lancaster or a B24 but  hell when I'm in a GV I figure the planes are there to keep me on my toes.

In fact TT might not be too bad if more people bombed it, would get the spawn campers a reason to have to start their engine. That or get rid of the town and make it like normal terrian with trees and so on. That would at least force people to have to move around to find a fight.

So do just that.  
Spawn move to a spot fire on a campers position.  Reposition and do it again.

Just because a large % do the move to a position and stay put, you don't.
