Who needs the whining and the drama? LWB has been the better fight anyways.

I never thought about it before, but you may be right.  The "go with the crowd" types are always desperate to get into orange.

Didnt there used to be a time where FT/TT bases did not count towards winning the map?

I'll take an A20 up if the spawn is being camped.

Generally a far better crowd in LWB. Older, lots more team work, combined arms fights "which I love". You dont have 80 typhoons/Temps coming in at 15k, with 1,000lb bombs, calling themselves skilled. I'll yellya one thing, there are some very skilled Bish & Nit flak gunners in LWB.

I got so sick of the scene in LWO I just wondered in, almost never fought in blue before. Its a far better arena. I bet mid-war and early are better too.

   I bomb gvs in TT when Im having a fight near their Vbase and some guy in a wirb opens up on me. Whats the answer to that? He's gonna get bombed. And since Im out with bombs, some others are bound to get bombed too.

thats bull filth i was in a M4 at a gv base in TT and u had a 110 you strafed me for five mins eventually traking me while i was shooting down tanks and when someone took you out you can back in a IL2 to bomb me you are the true definition of a bomb****

Used to use a Jug or a 38. There are really only a few passes into TT and it isn't hard to be there waiting as they come wallowing over the top.  :devil

i have heard from squadies that there used to be a map where  TT was on a 20,000 ft mountain so that you didnt get bombed all the time. the use of bombs in TT really sucks for the gvers i am in a tank probly 95% of the time and i bet half of my deaths are by a bomb or a il2 is there any chance of getting a TT without ords or planes around it?  i know it would make a lot of guys that gv very very happy to go out and have a actuall gv battle without the bomb****s. i hear alot of pple complaining about being bombed in tank town and yes im one of them

I'll agree with this as soon as they make it so whirbys and flaks cant shoot at planes.  Sounds fair to me.

  Gravy are you still sore about that? I think I said above in this post that when someone shoots at me while in a dogfight from a GV I come back to bomb them..AND any other GV(you) that may accept whatever bombs Im carrying. I did come back time and again after to kill you though, because you PM'd me cryin. Then I just had to make a hobby out of you.

  Next time, up a fighter and come kill me.

I up IL-2s at tank towns to kill the Kuh-nig-uts who are camping our spawn. And even then, I ask our friendlies if they want a hand from the skiy.
