Bailing Bombers.
« on: November 26, 2008, 10:55:53 AM »
Would it be possible to inject some rule into the game so that if any bomber is baild out of while undamaged, a kill is awarded to the nearest enemy pilot within 6.0?!

I follow a set of B24's for over 30 minutes,...climbing/closing on them the entire time, only to have them dive away and bail just within visual range.

B.S., ................... :furious

Im extending a plee to all you bomber jocks... plz,   please,    PLEASE!!!!, <<<STOP BEING COWARDS>>>  :pray

I agree this is probably the single most annoying thing in the game, however it has nothing to do with being a coward.  Sometimes people actually just have to do something else in real life....

Nah, the single most annoying thing in the game is the P51/190/Typhie that comes in several thousand feet over your head and thinks that extending several K after every pass is dogfighting.

The only way to get a kill at that distance is when you have pinged him before he bailed

IMO, there are two things will help stop bailing bombers pilots:

First, install a timer on the ability of a bomber pilot to re-up if they bail and their is not a "kill" shot by the enemy.  If the buff pilot has all three buffs still in teh air... and they bail they will get penalized.  Make it 5-8 minutes or something.  Oh how the squeakers and gamers will howl!

Secoondly, install an alititude limiter on being able to drop bombs.  If they must be at 5k, then the lanca-stuks and other such vermin who bring their hvy buff down to 500ft to carpet bomb and perform a stall turn to make a 2nd or 3rd run wont be able to do so... it is those kind that do it most. 

... and yes it takes away from the game in a big sort of way.

There already is one.......bombs must travel at least 1000 feet.

While i will agree heavies should only be able to drop from F6 (ie level) I'll fly at any altitude i like.
As far as your BS "vermin" comment goes you can jam that one.

Funny how we have such different reactions to low buffs. When i see low buffs i think "easy kills"
where as when you see low buffs you think "this is an outrage! HTC make this go away".

To each is own i say but please leave your 1 stroke covers all paint brush at the door.

I never said that it was wrong, nor did I say that they (HTC) should engineer the game to prevent it...  I just said that it is the single most annoying thing in the game...  In my opinion...

If you search in the wishlist I already writted about bomber perks. Everybody has lots of perks and the only way to spend them is to fly the Arado.
My suggestion was to perk the formation, every drone would have a cost. Would be also nice add from 1 till 5 drones option.
