I'm not trying to be a smart-ass here, but what's the point of a bomber section in the DA? 

"I'm the best bomber around."
"Ok, let's DA and prove it."
"15k in Ju88, we'll drop bombs together...first one to hit target wins the duel."
 :confused:


Bomber drivers used to use the area for practice.

I'm not any good in AH, but the vast majority of the bozos in the DA make me look a lot better than I really am. Fighting 5+ cons in Spit16s, temps and chogs over and over again (and surprisingly winning each time) is really sad...

sooooooo....what you're sayin, is that the DA is now just like the MA.  :D

No, it is much worse... imagine a squad of 2 week base takers each with 1 elevator, no flaps, and 1 aileron. That is how proficient they are.

I just laugh when someone thumps their chest and says let's DA. I tell them to up at some base and I'll meet them at a certain place. Somewhere empty on the map. No need to change arenas for that.

crims had actually done that a couple times to help/fight me. it was cool, because we could tune vox, and just go at it. no interference or anything.

1 plus in the DA now is the disabled 262s. I used to have a problem when we were running squad furball practice or team KOTH you would get a 262 that flew from who knows where to pick the guys trying to practice their A2A skills with friends.  At least now it's just the squad new guys that send me to the tower. Like I'm a hard target or anything..... :uhoh

The DA is a joke, but I have no idea how to fix it.

Its the player base.  Point and click, Tempest/4Hog crowd landing kills.

Good thing I upped a Griffon Spit to play around in... or I'd have never been able to "catch a fight."

Mazz! long time no see <S>

I like the fact that we do have a bomber area in the DA, but not when it's being misused by a bunch of mistfits in the DA. We all know who it is, and who they are.

Personally, I think these people have had enough strikes on their name, and they should be disbanded completely.

The Dueling Arena is for just that, Dueling.

If someone wants to up B-17's and duel Spanish Galleon style...fine. 

Bombs should be off limits in the DA.

Have to disagree. Back in the beginning, the DA was a real fun place to be. That was when we used to use "check 6" to initiate the start of a duel.

Those were fun times.

Yeah, until 2BigHorn and I ruined it  :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl
