A new low has been reached.....

[AAolds]

Around 3:15 a.m.  today I saw the lamest thing yet.  The knights, upped a 7 formation bomber +escorts raid at A100 on the ozkanasa map, then after they dropped, they bailed from the bombers and upped from a CV to capture the base after they flattend it. 

   I would like to skin and dip in salt these players,  some of us actually bothered to up planes to engage them only to be meet with this new low. 


Shame on the knights who took part in that crap mission.

Hmm...
To each their own I guess, but I cant dig a buff run from which I do not return.

May I suggest...

I was in one of the P-51's that escorted the bombers.  I didn't realize that some of the B-17 pilots did that.  Others actually got on the deck and started strafing the town.

Sorry for your frustration.

My $.02:  bomber pilots who bail with no damage so they can re-up more quickly hurt the game.

Perk all heavy bombers! not stupidly high like 70 perks, just 10-20 so they'll think twice about bailing out.

Olds....they know if they stand up a smack on the nose will soon follow.

I actually laughed....they would bomb the gvs and leave the vh up. This is base take 101....vh then gvs.

If they have to stoop this low it just means we are doing soemthing right.

Strip(er)

Maybe not ban...How about execution instead!

One of those exploits, and yea it is an exploit imo, that has been around forever. I couldn't think of a good way to fix it other than the game not allowing buffs to bail if an enemy was in icon range or further, at least with the magic three taps. Really, I think it'd be nice to apply that to all aircraft, not just buffs. That way people who don't want an hour flight or more back to base can still get out of their buffs but can't if they are engaged.

Then again, people have been doing it forever, so I highly doubt any official change is going to happen. Just another frustration that you need to deal with in the MA, though it really is a shoddy tactic considering the lasers on buffs. In the end it's their $15 a month and HTC allowing it to continue I guess. I can think of worse things someone could do, but it is not  at all.

Perk everything made after 1941... or what ever year the early war arena is limited to

very good solutions from Tilt in the suicide bomber thread to hopefully cure this dweebery.

yes i spent over an hour escorting a long buff mission i would have been very pissed if those buffs that i escorted had bailed after droping, whats the point in flying escort and only getting one or two kills if the buffs are gonna bail anyway.....
was a squad thing though and i had a blast doing it.

i always land my buffs unless there is a mission upping that i want to join and dont have time to land em. havent flown buffs in quite a while though.


i dont think anything else needs to be perked really but i thought at one point that the tal-152 was perked.
if they ever add some of the more elite bombers, they should be perked at least then bomber jocks would have something to do with those easy to get perk points.

Beginning to think I'm the only one that laughed when I read this thread. 

[croma]

easy make it so you cant bail from a non damage plain.  only when it on a runway you can bail a good plane

[Masherbrum]

No worse than a Bomber Mission that dropped bombs on cities to pad stats.   Especially when dropping 2 fields (hell, there were AT LEAST 10 Forms.) would have made a large impact.   

IMO, that was worse than what started this thread.

no, I'm still chuckling
