I wish Warlock, you make it sound easy. :lol The best I've done in recent memory is around 1.5 to 1.8 kills per sortie.

OK I'll have a bite :D

It's stupid to have rank and LET some newbie or other assorted idiots suicide your CV.

There  hows that ?  :aok

Lancaster's operated at night.  Their typical alt was 19k weather permitting.  They didn't fly in formation and approached in a stream.  

Some notorious missions did go in low but they suffered heavy losses.  These types of mission were far and few between.  Some and mean SOME of the elite path finders did mark targets with flairs from as low as 500 feet but they were the except rather than the rule.

As for being ranked 18th in bombers that's more to do with captures than suiciding towns, hangers, GV's and my pet hate suiciding CV's.




I made no reference to dive bombing cv's

I made no reference to acquiring a bomber rank of 18

I do use bombers in the day some are lancs but now that I see i'm doing it wrong i will only fly them at night and high unless I have flares of course.  

Stupid post lynks, I'm disappointed as well.

You should have really read them first before you posted. If you did you would have seen I was referring to the runners, hiders and pickers in this game. They do nothing to help the country and only worry about themselves because they don't want to risk being killed and lowing their scores.  As i've said before, you don't need to use these cowardly tactics to obtain a decent rank but it's your 15 bucks, play it the way you want. I will continue to dive bomb towns and gv's as I see fit to help my country acquire bases and win the map, if we should be so lucky.
I'm not sure i ever seen lanc's dive on a CV but i do know low bombers on one have little chance if gunned and has air cover. Getting away with that takes a lot more skill than either of us have and maybe should be commended. LOL

No matter what type of game, a lot want to see how they stack up against others.  It's all part of being a social animal.  However, what is stupid about having a rank system are the lengths some go to see their name in lights.

Of course, you already know that.

Though the idea of determing rank by who you shoot down is interesting, in the MA there are way to many variables to make it a valid factor.  suching as vulching, hording, and the guys looking to pick you as soon as you enter a fight in hopes of getting a better rank, by killing a higher ranked player, without having to do much of anything.  Though the idea of rank through the DA is interesting solution around this.  None of it changes how I fly/have fun though, because as Husky pointed out, score is stupid.:) I don't need some computer to tell me how I'm doing.

I have to enlighten the class lynx,......."assorted" is a sort of code used on country channel  to discribe a "tard" Possibly the funniest thing ive ever heard on a/h....... "any one of these 5 "assorted retards" take control of the cv, and get it sunk". Now it takes a brit so say "assorted retards", that implys there are more than 1 style of retard, which just light up my funny bone for weeks. thanks lynx.:D
