If your trying to catch him for 45 minutes you need to rethink your plane choice or how valuable your time is....

Really?  Try and catch a fft set of b24s at 27k. Use any ac you like see how long it takes you. Other than a 163.
If buffs flew at historic speeds you might have a leg to stand on.

Didnt see where I posted it was easy or how long it should take....

I do think that climbing for 45 minutes is:

A. A reflection on your plane choice...
OR
B. A waste of my time in general for 3 buffs...as in even if should take that long I cant see doing it.

Of course if it was a mission or something of the sorts I would reconcider that.

I agree with you Race...
Again as said in the initial thread, sometimes its a guessing chess game trying to figure out where and what route the BUFFS will take.
I like that challenge and sometimes like you said, a faster/better plane(for high alt) would of been the answer.

All this to simply say that its discouraging when you up and fly for several minutes(10-15-30...) and when you finally spot him, he bails...

HTC should create something that would discourage them from doing that. The new score board is a good example !
Bring those SAD players out in the open and let the STATS show WHY they rank so high !
I cannot deny that they have some skills. But the rankings doesn't really show the REAL SKILL LEVEL...(that goes for all pilots)

Anyway, I'm still enjoying myself....
And for those boring players, we will cross one day and be sharp and prepared...
My flying skills are always improving and I will be a serious threat to you who lacks of gunnery skills because you keep on bailing when confronted !   :aok

Salute All

As long as they do the same for the fighter kamikazes that do the same exact thing.

How many times do you see a 47, 51, 38, screaming over your base drops ords or dar and bails,,,  same difference, doesnt have to be a Bomber that bails, you see it all the time with fighters too, probabley more often since it doesnt take the time it does in a bomber to do it.
