Bad days
« Reply #15 on: November 26, 2007, 07:46:22 AM »
I do like flying goons. Dont ask me why but they are fun to fly. At least the good days are starting to happen a lot more then bad days. You start this game and have nothing but bad days. Then you have a good day. Then you start having as many good days as bad days. And then you start having more good days then bad days.

                      Looking at my stats Im doing a little better each month. So I guess I can live with the occasional bad day and just head back to the TA to get my confidence back.

My answer to that is usually manned gun...

I can't usually hit shinola from them, but for some reason, I find them really fun. And on that every once in a while occasion when something does go boom, it just makes my day.

They do however seem to work MUCH better against ground targets than air for me - the other day I got 5 kills defending an otherwise undefended VF.   Often times though even when a fighter is coming "straight in" at me intending to strafe I can't take him out.

Rich,  since you like bombing so much but don't like fighters (I suspect because there's a steep learning curve) I might suggest you try taking some of the attack planes out for a spin and learn to dive bomb.

There's plenty of targets where you don't have to worry about fighter interference and if you like dodging bullets VB's make good targets.

Just a thought.  Somewhere between bombers and fighters.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
