I think the bish were trying that today against the Rooks. Bish had 20 sets of B26's hitting one base. So that's 60 planes in the air to hit one Abase not to mention the fighter support.

Funny thing was they still missed the VH..

on a side note some guy in a 110 on rooks landed 12 kills shortlly after that raid.. I assume all the dweeby pilots bailed out of their bombers to go up fighters and goons after they dropped the bombs.

Go to the AvA on May 31st and watch AH run at 1 frame per second!

why would you post that?  with the exception of the finland map I have no frame rate issues in the AvA.  even then if I lighten up on the graphics I'll see 50-75 fps even on that very excellent and highly detailed map.  could it be your computer and not the arena?

 not that I care.  I haven't been in the AvA in over three weeks and may likely never return.

Not referring to the Ava, referring to "1,000 bombers" in AH.

20 bombers (well, 60 with drones included) and escorts slows it down to a crawl for most people. Flew a scenario escorting B-17s in P-47s over Germany and had to stay away from the bomber stream as much as possible or my FR dropped into the single digits and wouldn't come back up until I moved away again. Even in shift-F4 view.

Even in the biggest MA furballs (and AvA furballs on the Karelia map) I consistently get 70-85 FPS.

I see.  thanks for the clarification.

I was going to setup a B17 raid into germany this week but didnt when I seen this. Good luck geting enough people to make a good formation. It would be nice if we can get the thursday night missions going again.

 That's my favoritte 3DMark graphics performance testing mission, " Videocard buster",
 I seen lot of guys including myself blowing up at take off in the low fps enviroment created  50+bombers, But we also kill the fighters attaking  the large formation with low fps,
B26s are fun,fast ,good firepower in tail and nose and after miss tgt with bombs can HO , dogfight , vulch and straffe the smoking base:)

Yea maybe it would work better if you teach them how to hit the VH..

I have nothing against big missions as they are fun to take part in. However it is pretty dweeby when half the guys in those missions bailed out of their bombers soon as they dropped bombs on the bases.

The amount of bombers you guys had on those mutable missions could have easily flattened several bases in one well planned mission.  It's not like you guy really had to worry about a big defense as far as the numbers went.

I like to run missions and join other well planned missions if I think it's a good objective. However I do think it's pretty lame when guys "game the game" like that. Bailing out of the bombers just so they can re-up as fighters is pretty lame game play style IMO.

It's not like you guys really needed to do it either. You guys had the numbers advantage on us. You Bish and the Nits were barely fighting each other so Rooks were having to defend full force attacks on both fronts. So it's not like any well planned mission couldn't have taken any of our bases.

At least on Monday when us Rooks rolled you Bish, we did it with well planned and very sneaky missions. We didn't have to use 20 bombers that half the guys bail out of to take a base.

Not complaining about your missions, but I think you should rethink the "gaming the game" aspect of what tends to happen in those kind of missions.

If you feel you need bombers and still need to clean up with fighters, why not use A20's and not B26's? A single A20 will take out any hanger in the game much less 20 of them, then they can be use for the follow up fighter sweep.

Ten A20's on the base and Ten on the town would be more than enough to flatten any base and no one would have to be a dweeb and bail to go get a fighter.

Just my 2 cents..

[Treize69]

I forget, was it in AH or WB years ago where they ran a mass goon mission (would have been Ju-52s in WB) and dropped so many drunks at once that they crashed the server?

That one must have been fun to be a part of but ticked you off if you had no part of it.

Yea nothing wrong with that. Like I said I join missions all the time and I have a few successful missions under my belt that I've ran. I tend to like big 110 raids myself, but nothing wrong with a mossy raid or a big bomber mission. It's all about having fun and so on.

My only complaint were so many of the dweebs bailed as soon as they dropped their bombs in his bomber missions the other day, so they could come back as fighters or goons.

I call that dweebism at it's finest.

[storch]

ghi will do just about anything to be high above the center of a horde but 39 tools is a bit much, even for ghi.
