Buffs

[Spikes]

There, fixed.

Indeed.

Figure of speech, but at least 12+.

I dove on a set of 17s in my 262, going around 450IAS diving on their high 7 or so...lined up real quick, 1 ping...V-stab gone. Watched the film to see how many it took...yep just one. Deleted the film in disgust.

first, the 262 had really light amor and second, the single .50 cal had mb the same Energy of a 37mm. Speed of the shell + your 450mp/h it make a deep impact

Saluti!

Getting pretty sick and tired of seeing some idiot up in buffs and happen to get off the ground, you go to dive in only to have 36 50cals pointed in your direction with guns spraying and praying. Something needs to happen to this...it's getting old, seems like you can't even get close to buffs without getting smoked...especially when they are new guys flying them and they're just spraying and kill you. Isn't there some way to stop the laser guided bullets streaming from 36 different guns on 3 different planes?

It's a rant not a complaint   

[Dadsguns]

Yeah I feel like an idiot right now, I just had to type something up to vent out.

We all have them days, but at least I didnt have to tell you that....

[soupcan]

Indeed.

At least you have a sense of humor.
 

[B4Buster]

You NEED a good sense of humor for this game, whenever I get wacked by buffs I just take a quick break and go laugh it off.

It also held elements of a snivel as well, "snot coming out nose", and had the beginnings of a whine too.

If we found proof he came right here from the game, after getting shot down, we could call it a "whiney snivel" with a high degree of certainty.

But ole Spike is OK. The fact is unless you really hone your bomber attack tactics you'll always be at risk of getting shot down. And the worst thing you can do is underestimate them.

not quite 36 guns, but i agree, there is a reason we needed the fighter escorts in WWII, its because the guns on the bombers DIDNT WORK! the german pilots were flying in on formations of 300+ bombers, and they won, but in this game, you try to gdive on a formation of 3, you get ripped up by the 50 cals... just doesnt make sense to me
