Author Topic: Penalty for bomb n bail (Read 2129 times)

AAolds · « **on:** February 20, 2008, 12:56:59 PM »

I dont know about the rest of the players, but I personally am sick of people who climb bombers up to high alts, bomb targets and then bail at first sign of enemy. Getting to the point, I dont even wanna play under such lame circumstances. Id like to meet these bomb n bailers in person and make gorilla cookies with their faces. What annoys me most is the time spent to climb up to fight only to have the dork bail.

Does HTC plan to address this issue or not?

Maybe a message in lights for bailing ought to be added so the lamer can get the recognition and ridicule they deserve for cheapening the game play for us all.

To the Bomb n Bailers, I hope all the bad stuff in life happens to you.

It's been requested that there be some penalty for this method of game-play.

Fact is that this is a game, and if people are aroused by taking Heavy Bombers to a "Don't-return-home" mission that's how it will stay. Even if there is a penalty, they will definitely find a way around it that might be even more annoying than the previous method.

After 8 years, with no changes, I think it's safe to assume that HTC isn't going to make any changes that make it impossible, or even difficult, to bail out.

If this were ever put into the game, how would you penalize them?

There should be perk penalty of the ENY value of the plane that is bailed from when its suffering no damage.

Agreed.

And if the puke cant pay for the perk penalty, they get negative perk balance or unable to launch any bomber under 40 ENY.

Don't you think after dropping the payload the bomber is going to ask a local fighter to come up behind him, ping him a few times (Kill shooter), and bail?

I myself prefer that if you set out on a sortie and regardless if you achieve your goal or not, you should return home instead of bail out. However the more we attempt to prevent this from occurring the more intelligent the bomber pilots get in figuring out how to bail without any real loss.

If it was up to me, id just ban the sorry bugger for life and be done with it.

I don't even go after bombers anymore. No matter how I come at them they tear my wings of in 3 pings, they usually are flying 260 mph (which can be barley caught by some planes), and if that doesn't work they'll just dive away at 380 mph or bail.

What if the guy had to get off for the night and couldn't return home? You'd ban him because he had to leave?

Whels made good suggestion on 200

Why not have Bomb n Bailers damage not count if they bail from undamaged plane due to enemy fire.

I never bombed and bailed. There were a few times however where real life called and I had to. A few times also, when I was getting chased, I got discoed and those guys doing the chasing will go to their graves thinking I bombed and bailed.

The worst is the Lancstukas dropping on a GV mission, bailing, and then exactly 2 mins later you see fresh Lancstukas with a fresh bombload. Now thats rotten gameplay. I'd be to embarrassed to play like that.
