a few days ago, I was defending a Vbase, and I had p38s, 26s, and IIRC, a 88...none of them could hit me...then they turned to colliding with me...finally, a 51 came in w/2x 1K bombs...


THEY need to read this thread.

Why would they need to read this thread?????

So they could lawn dart all around you and you could rack up the proxy kills....

See above threads by dedalos and rino....



BTW: No offense but I just re-read the name of the thread

Noooo, not for the bombs.  For your plane trying to pull up at 600mph at 1K

Particularly as - according to the instructions - full throttle and WEP should be applied.

Just how deep a hole is it possible to make with an aircraft.

level bomb level bomb level bomb. you hit your target and survive to take down more. if you have eggs left after you've hit all you need to to help your guys on the ground, then ya can go wreak havoc bombing strats.....

besides, hasn't anyone ever taught ya......airplanes don't like to be near the ground:rofl

If FH's didnt respawn in 15 minutes, you would respect my Jug

if FH's didn't respawn in 15 minutes, you'd respect my JU88's a whole lot more....and i'd shoot down your jug as you were tryin to stop me:D

If FH's didnt respawn in 15 minutes, you would have new maps 3 or 4 times a day with all the land grabbers nowadays:D

If FH's didnt respawn in 15 minutes, there'd be no need for a GV hangar on base

what ever,
I like things fast..
and a Ju 87 is not that.. you just like the 1800 bomb
but at 220mph at a hot air base.. good luck

In previous tours I have used the Ju-87 to good effect.  All it used to take was one stuka and poof all VHs were dead, despite the moving of hangars it still only takes 3 well trained stuka pilots to neuter the V base.  In reguards to the 1800kg, I have also flown with the smaller bomb loads for various missions including anti-GV, town demolition, and field Ack supresion. Lastly, after your bombs are off and you are clean, the stuka handles well enough to get out of dodge effectively.  I say this not to correct you or be confontational, but to illistrate the point that there are uses for all aircraft and there are people whoom like to use them.  It simply is a matter of preference.

Thanks Panzer.  I was thinking the P51 which only has 6.

Or if you always want to hit it 100% go straight above building cut engine dive straight down ontop of it at 1k-1.2k drop bombs and switch everything drop other bombs shoot rockets and fly straight down into the hanger i mean if you where heading straight down at hanger your bombs should suicide with ya ^_^ Just dont do this at TT or you wont get any kills
btw if ur in TT just strafe every single tank you see and if they end sortie and ur flying around TT u will get the kill lol thats if they get bored and no one shoots them

i've never flown the JU87.......because of how slow it is. i siad the JU88...although it climbs kinda slow, once you're to your desired altitude, she cruises along at about 280 or so, and faster as you off-load ords.

as for doing the job fast......THAT'S where planning comes in handy. when my squad wants to attack a Vbase, they have me launch about 10-15 minutes ahead of the attack......this gives me time to climb to alt, and let my ship accelerate to full cruise speed. once i'm on target(which is about 3 to 5 minutes ahead of the rest of the guys if i time it right) then the first two hangars are gone in the first pass. total time to be back on target is approximatly another 5 minutes or less, and there goes number three. and now here's the key.....since i survived the run, i can now spot for my squaddies on the ground, OR if they end up in an extended battle, i'm still on station to re-drop the first two hangars again, almost immediatly after they come up. air bases take a bit longer, but we normally concentrate on the town then. what it all comes down to though, is to survive the mission. don't care bout points, don't care bout perks, in bombing, #1 priority is to hit your asigned targets, and #2 priority is to survive so you can continue to be helpful on the ground.  then again though, the really deep hole your jug makes could be helpful too:D

 i do understand that we all like to fly our own ways......i'm just tryin to offer ya some advice on a slightly better...albiet......more tedious method to accomplish your goal.

oo......and for the most part, i LEARNED to be patient in the bombers.....it was hard as hellllll to do to, as i still prefer the speed and climb of the fighters.....and on that note, have you run into someone waiting for ya back up hi when you zoom back? i know i've gotten my fair share of kills doin that as the guy is floundering almost in stall....makes for an easy target(which i need as my gunnery....uumm.......sukcs)

most important part though, is that you're having fun...........

But you know you have a noob squeaker tryign 2 shoot u down in a bomber when the idiot trys 2 stay right behind you... And that is about everyone in AH i usually see 15 squeakers trying to shoot a bomber down from the back and they wonder wtf pilot wound, The best way to attack a bomber is from above Most people forget that when they are diving at you depending on how fast and angle of dive is you either shoot below them if they are diving right onto you or above them iv they are gaining altitude to do a loop around also the best spot to attack is from the side the waist gunners are usually a pain to use and alot of things in the way plus the bomber is usually most vulnerable here because you can go for a clear sweep of the cockpit from the side and own the pilot because remember when you are getting shot at the 2 drones are shooting at the general area where the actual pilot is shooting so you have about 4 x 3 guns converging on you and the easiest spot to hit when someone is behind you is the fueselage of the plane which is why I always see people smoked up and pilot wounded and if you do end up in the precarious situation behind a bomber and are trying to leave its line of fire never dive down to avoid the guns because you are exposing your pilot to an easy pilot wound What you should do is climb above the bomber 800 feet do a barrel roll come around and aim for the part of the fueselage where the two wings meet and than proceed to attack the cockpit if this didnt destroy it.
