somehow you've taken this personally and you've gotten the wrong end of the stick. Karnak stated that a rook in a lancaster did the same thing. So this is obviously a flaw being exploited by more than one player/country. You are making a rather weak attempt to divert from the issue at hand because you appear to percive this as a personal attack on the Knights.
Erm.. I've flown for 3 different countries in the last 3 months. Our squad changes countries every tour to add a little variety.
As for taking it personal.. I am not. It wasn't me in the bomber.. you aren't attacking me or any of my squadies (that I know of).
The title of the thread implies that the person flying the bomber somehow "went low" in his particular move.
To be honest, he gamed the game much like you and the other individual did. Your cohort spent 20 minutes doing it and you have the gall to come in and criticize the other person that did it.
"How low will you go?" Puhleez.
The issue is that bombs can be dropped at ground level from a bomber with apparently no effect on that aircraft. This is agreed to be unrealistic by the majority of the people relying to this thread.
Never said it wasn't. What part about knowing exactly how many enemy are on-line, exactly where they are, knowing exactly where their hangars and defenses are, knowing exactly what you need to take down to capture the base, being able to take an air-field with 1 ground vehicle, or respawning after being captured
IS realistic?
Pick and choose.. pick and choose. Someone is sinking low with his exploitation.. someone else is a victim inspite of his exploitation.
Hmmmmmm.
Over the previous two hours the arena numbers dwindled down to 3 knights, 3 bishops and 8 rooks, (for some strange reason there are a lot of Kiwi's and Aussies who fly rook so it seems logical we'd outnumber other countries in our time zone). As usual Rookland was about as organised as an asylum low on tranquilizers and had been banging away at A2 for 90 minutes without result. I got pissed off at the lack of progress and attacked A3 at low altitude in a Lancaster while the cons were tied up at another field.
Basically, you are getting defensive. What part of this justifies using the "low blow" title on the knit trying to defend his base(s) despite rediculous odds.
If you want to accuse me of gaming the game then I'm guilty. I'll climb higher, run away when outnumbered, sneak under radar in a C47 or a lancaster, make a head-on snap shot, gang bang, drag cons through AAA and attack undefended fields. I'll use an ostwind to destroy a Headquaters rather than a Panzer because the otswind will take it down and a panzer can't
Climbing higher: realistic
Running: realistic
sneaking under radar: realistic
Using ostwind to destroy radar: unrealistic (yet you justify?)
I will use any and every means or advantage available to defend myself, attack another player or attack another country to the advantage of my own.
You are perfectly welcome to use any and every means or advantage available to defend yourself, attack another player or attack another country to the advantage of your own. Just don't come on the bbs and complain that someone else is doing it too. Or that you just don't like the particular method someone else used. Its simply rediculous.
If Rudedawg was in an ostwind, (and he may very well have been in a panzer but since you weren't there and I didn't bother asking we will never know), and destroying the base then that may not be the primary purpose of the weapon but it can be used that way with a penalty. He's subject to counter fire for longer and has a weaker turret armour. Objectively an Ostwind could destroy a building but it takes longer and uses more ammunition. It may not have been designed to do that but it can carry out the task. A bomber can't drop bombs at ground level, (or even low level), without destroying itself.
I didn't criticize anyone for using an ostwind to attack a base. I do it all the time. I don't sit back and pretend its realistic though (isn't that the point of this thread.. realism?).
BTW.. there is only one risk when hitting a base with an ostwind... a panzer coming up. An Ostwind can take down a hangar in about half the time a panzer can.. and it can take down much more than a panzer can. If the VH is down.. there is nothing sacrificed by taking an ostwind.
If you want to start a seperate thread about gaming the game or gang banging then there's a button at the bottom of this web page marked "New Post". I suggest you start there and consider that those in glass houses should not throw stones.
I suggest you take your own advice. Its obvious you seem to have a certain set of rules as to what you believe makes the game realistic. Very little about that entire scenario was realistic.. yet you focus on one thing. Hmmmmm. What was that part about glass houses?
