Salute Gents,
This is the third time this rotation I have logged off in disgust. I just flew my 14th bomber mission, could use the perks for arado. I took off, climbed out slowly in a lancaster, flew to my target, got interdicted on the way there by a P38 and 190, shot BOTH of them down, flew on to target, CREAMED training facility, got shot down by ufo (I mean Niki), and collected some perkies for the mission. What really pisses me off is that three times I have had missions in bombers, shot down fighters, and still show ZERO kills in buffs for this tour. WTF? None of them were discos, so I should be showing something there. I am trying to improve my general score somewhat for CV usage, but at this rate, only my deaths being recorded, that is NEVER gonna happen. Now don't get me wrong, I don't think score is everything, but being a member of AHTC, it helps with your credibility. It also does give you access to the CV. What a waste of an hour and a half!

Tried to check your score (gijeff) but it came up as error so go here and put your name in
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/cgi-bin/105score/105stats.pl it'll show you everything you need to know. Fighter kills are recorded but not against rank. They do earn
good Perkies.
I pose this question to you. If bomers kills of attacking fighters actually counted to score / rank how many "AckStars" would there be ? In other words how many gamey tossers wouldn't bother using fighters. Could you envisage those with less backbone or moral aptitude just sweeping through fights for some quick kills for score? Thats what used to happen in HTC's other games along with runway spawn point boming. Hence runways here don't take damage. You could close a field to fighters with just 2 accurate bombs each end of the runway. Didn't matter about hangers because planes would explode as they appeared in bomb crators on the runway.
Remember
everyone is on the same field here but as a strat player it's the damage you make that truelly is your worth..... in bombers. So in that vain I'll give you some tips:- Bomb the
Zone City first and make sure it's well below 50%. 20% to 35% seems average depending on bombers used. <brag... my best is 6% in Lancs, 14 x 1k'ers, 19.5k ft, 4 passes, single salvo.> Then bomb all the other factories below 50%. A
dead City slows the
factory regain time which, in turn, slows the
field regain time. Leave the fuel factory as your very last target...essentially it's worthless unless YOU hit fuel cells on fields. I say "YOU" because no boby else does.
Excluding the gamey and pointless strat nuker stuker run to a factory. You can improve bomber score per tour by getting at least 3 x C47 captures.

Hit %
Damage
Landing
Load out:- Don't use anything less than 500Lb'ers. I can here an "Ah but". Yer OK BUT what if you lose 1 or 2 drones to target? Remember Damage is your worth as a strat player. Take nothing more than 1k'ers. Anything heavier is
over kill on a limited area with the exception of the Lancaster 15 x 500's &
1x 4k cookie. There's always 1 large piece of strat thats ideal for a cookie and you still have 15 potential targets in the bay.
CV sinking:- These give great Damage % but ruin Hit %. Sinking CV's is best done with the least amount of heavy bombs. I use 234's salvo 3 or B26's 4x1k'ers salvo 4. I deem this a happy medium for damage to miss %....not all bombs will hit the cv from outter drones.
My appols if I came across as "barking orders" but the above is HOW and WHY.....good luck.
