Radar busting

[thndregg]

Rich, check your PM, please.

Here's something I've posted a couple of times in the past but is relevant to this conversation:

When I first started here, and for a long time after, I used to go fly a buff out and take (or at least try to take) the hangers out at a field that was at one end of a "good fight". It wasn't to piss anyone off. I thought I was doing the right thing. If the fight was stalled between two bases and through bombing the enemy base our country could move forward then I had, in my mind, positively influenced the direction of the fight.

Even now it's sometimes hard to distinguish between a furball and a stalemate when flying over at altitude.

For the most part, I doubt most bomber pilots are trying to piss you off (although some may be), rather I think they consider themselves contributing to the cause.

Even if the base is taken the furball will redevelop in another location.

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.

wow,   you must be so proud....
   do you hope to expand your horizons and try  ORD  someday?
there ya go.... 30 seconds outta my life down the drain.....

cya porky

                   Froger, do you have some purpose in this thread other then being a screwball? Did you not read my post that I bomb all kinds of targets? Froggie????

                 Im waiting patiently for your seal of approval.

                 Yaknow fellas I posted this as lighthearted thread about an aspect of the game I have fun with. I did not expect misfits to ruin it.

                Course they've ruined about every other thread I started.

rich, i didn't say that what you were doing WAS spoiling things for others, just giving you some friendly advice on not going out of your way to do something that you know will kill a good furball.

sort of a 'watch out for doing something like that in the future' thing. not saying you do or have, just saying watch out for it



i'm glad you're having fun, just making sure you don't unwittingly spoil fun for many others radar isn't really a big problem. killing good furballs off by dropping hangars or destroying CV's can suck a bit though

Thats the game at its best I believe. When two guys can go into battle and then after discuss and breakdown the fight. Ive learned quite a bit with doing that, and I believe, made some friends.

How is that making friends thing going?

This is exactly why we need the full manual bomb-sight calibration back. Such a feat would mean something then.

amen.  in between the slaved defensive guns on three ships, the ability to move along at almost 300 mph and that sissified bombsight it's little wonder that the bombers serve in such an annoying fashion within the game.

bombers are easily the most arcadish feature in this game, followed closely by that awful flap auto retracting feature in the fighters.

 it's hard to tell a person's intent on the intardnet.  so in nothing but lightheartedness I believe you really should switch to a more bomb**** friendly country (bish) that way I could lightheartedly find you and obliterate your bombers until you learned to leave the poor hapless but fight facilitating radar alone.

years ago we started a squad dedicated to the sole purpose of eradicating bomb****s and we became very proficient at it.  so much so that we became bored with slapping you types down. in time it became so monotonously routine that we simply sort of moved on.  however just as in riding your ol' lady er your bicycle it takes but a moment to polish off the fine patina accumulated on the surface and have those skills honed to perfection and mow down any number of you annoying types, in a lighthearted way of course.
