Another sly hit on the Bombers

[SKDenny]

They didn't tell us in the notes of the latest patch that they did move the south pad hangers to far apart on the mid size fieldto be able to kill FH's in one pass.

What else can they dream up to make bombing ineffective. Maybe like AW tilt the wings more than 5 degrees and they fall off.  
At least have the guts to tell us what you change so we don't get stumped when we encounter the situation

Just make another run or get more bomber pilots to fly with you. It should take more than 1 or 2 bomber pilots to shut down an airfield.

I think they've done plenty do make it overly effective as it is, what with your newfangled F-117 laser guided munitions and laser guns.  Buffs needed to be watered down, and this was a pretty smart way to do it without messing with your rides.

I think they spread the fighter hangers out because people were getting pissed off at good furballs being broken up by individual buff pilots who had no plan of actually trying to capture said field.

And perhaps they just forgot to put it in the notes?

The guts? LOL, what do you think they were afraid of angering you so they omited it on purpose just to avoid your wrath?

I can't for the life of me figure out how someone can be smart enough to up a set of buffs, fly all the way to an enemy field, and succesfully kill a hanger, yet not be able to extend out, turn around and make another run.  Unless of course you're flying across the field 50ft off the ground and one run is all you get before the ack and fighters chew you up.

I give this whine a 2, not even worth spawning a WAAAAAAAAMBULANCE.

Uhm... Tango said it pretty good I think.

This will hopefully force bomber pilots to group together a wee bit more often.

[Kermit de frog]

Tango said it nicely.


Geary needs to grow up and learn from Tango's post.

And Spermit needs to get off my ankle.

I feel your pain SKDenny.  HTC, please change it back so one person can shut down fighter operations at a field in a single pass!!!!

At least we can still kill a CV in one pass with divebombling Lancs!!!  Unless of course HTC decides to ruin that for us in the next patch.

while i used to be against anything that "hurt" bombers, have you looked at a REAL WWII airfield?

the hangers/hardstands arnt lined up in neat rows for the enemy to bomb with ease.... they are spread out, all over the place.

its more realistic this way.


and as the others said, we have lazer guided bombs, with the easy mode bombsite.... 1 single bomber couldnt shut a airfield down in real life, so why should it in the game?

[Murdr]

Auto calibrate bomb site is a standard MA setting.
(means you don't have to hold the crosshairs on a fixed point during calibration)
Zero wind layers seems to be a standard now.
(used to be at least 1 wind layer in MAs)

If that ain't dumbed down enough for ya, rearranging the hangers won't help ya either.

Excellent thread

Must they tell you everything? Sounds cool to me.
