Radar busting

[Rich46yo]

Boy if you want to stir up a Hornets nest just start taking out Bish or Knights frontline radars. Usually by the 3rd one, or the 4th, you are being chased by numerous fighters, and then the glorious shootout. Some Bish and Knight sticks seem to take their radars being busted personally. Its just to much fun.

                            Ive been looking for you DaDonkey, to escort in your Pony, but haven't seen you in the MA.

                         My preferred radar buster is the KI-67 loaded with 15 100lb bombs set salvo 3 0.30 delay. Anywhere even near calibration will take out the radar.

                        Why take out radars? #1, cause its fun and your almost guaranteed gunning action. #2, cause blinding the enemy cant help but help your own team. I normally include one attack on a radar factory when I have a evening to play. The B-26 is a pretty good radar buster as well, but the KI is faster, climbs better, and has great range. Its top cannon can end a fight quickly if you can roll into an incoming or climb it to shoot downwards.

                    to those I shot it out with last night. And tonight when you start seeing your frontline radars going down its probably me. But, I have met a few guys who love to bust radars. My record was all 7 frontline radars once bombed in my B-26.

I take a dim view of porkers in general and an even dimmer view of dedicated radar porkers.

I like the opposing teams to have their radar.  I like them to see the red dot that represents me to be visible.  I like that feature because it provides the promise of a fight.  when I take off I do so in the hope of encountering another like minded player or three. I want to be found!!!!

what you like to do impedes what I like to do.  what I do has no impact on what you do hence the classic furballer/toolshedder schism.  I believe you should switch to bish, find a nice bish squad that likes what you like and fly with their horde.  I suggest the FoSGs they are just that way.  it should be a perfect fit for you.  a useless skwad dedicated to toolshedding and game interrrupting sociopathic behavior.  sadly this is the way the game is going.  the ack runners radar porkers toolshedders gangers spawn hanger campers and other limpwristed behavior has become the norm but it wasn't always this way.

yesterday afternoon I was cruising at 8k in a 190A-5 looking for a fight near a nit base.  some player (perhaps yourself?) with your mindset had porked all opposition team front line radar making finding a fight an arduous task.  finally a P47N bounces from the AKAKosphere!!!!  it takes me ten minutes to wear down his E advantage and somewhat level the playing field as I pull the hapless fellow into what was his final rope, from my blind side a friendly in an La-7 swoops in and kills the floundering P47 and over range tells me +CLEAR+ in a proud and confident voice.

the clueless countryman probably did what he expected he would need someone to do for him were the situation reversed.

that fight embodies my ardent desire to see killshooter eliminated.  if it were I would shoot your radar porking bombers and I would have shot down that boyscout helpful countryman too.

Best place to get some OSTIE kills is parked right near the radar tower.  Not too close or you might get some damage from bombs or guns.  It seems like they take a number and come in one after another.  Kinda like a parade & the OSTIE provides the beautiful fireworks!  So I say pork if it makes ya happy.
On a side note-what is killshooter?

Shoot someone with a green icon and find out

When you shoot a player on your own side (green guy) you take the damage, not them.  

Saw a newb last night proudly shoot one of my squad mates just after we upped from the VH.  "Bang.....BOOM", he's gone.

ok its only my first tour but this is a game, the object is to win by taking bases, disabling enemy radar is one part of a strategy to take bases. wth is wrong with that?
I might argue that making no attempt to take bases and move the game on while only furballing is "game interrrupting behavior" ...

a couple of nights ago Knights were on a Blitzkrieg rolling a base every 10mins or so. I upped in 17s and blinded the 3 frontline bases, finished the ords at 2 of them, then blinded the next 3.
I'd say thats a good use of resources and a contribution to the team effort. especially as it usually pulls a couple of fighters away from their defense too - like its worth chasing buffs at 20k ...

Not everyone believes in the "win the war" attitude.  I've been on a large squad that use to specialize in large missions, and taking bases defended or not. After a while, I found out the only thing that really matter to me in this game.....besides friends.... is the "fight" win or loose, if it a good fight, for me its a blast. As long as I have a base to up from and a bogie to fight, I'm happy.

While our buddy Storch seems to get a bit miffed at those that are bombing away his fun, I just look for fun else where. You go ahead and have your fun taking out radar or what ever, but don't get your panties in a wad when you call for help to take a base and us "fighter" type don't show up to help.

Play the way you like.  No matter what that game play is like, there will be someone to insult your style.  

It's been said before.  It's your $15, spend it the way you like.  Only a first class sphincter will complain because you aren't playing "their" way.  Ignore them...

The above loosely translated........

Play my way or your all second class players.

C'mon Storch...play the "Whole" game. It does say on the home page "WWII Combat Experience"...there was a lot more to WWII Combat Tactics than just furballing.

i just laugh @ the dar porkers, they really think they doing something LOL.
also killing a single dar tower with multiple bombs kills bomber hit% LOL.

only thing killin dar does is turn off dot dar.  still get dar bars and base flashings.  if i know ur in sector ill still find u and kill u.  just more easy meat for the table.

[Tilt]

If your going to hunt in an enemys air space and want to avoid the gangbang then porking his radar helps.

Attacking bases and leaving their dar up is just plain dumb IMO

[Tiger]

I too enjoy the ole front line radar raid.
I too use the KI as my delivery vehicle.
I normally on fly it up around 10k, and no higher than 15k.
Atleast they chase you, I normally can't even get anyone to up to chase me even though it's pretty clear what's happening after the 2nd base goes dark.

Storch:  I'm proud of you, you almost let this post go an hour without bring up the BoPs.  Seems like you have some sort of facination with them.  Did you ask to join and they turned you away?  Do you envy them and wish you had a squad liek theirs?
