"Bomber survivability solely depends on ...."


...having a dedicated escort.    No decent escort?  No survival.   Just like in real life!


But because this is a game, where pile-its don't place the same value on their "life,"
your chances of surviving are next to nil unless you have an equal amount of escorts

- and escorts that know what to do and how to "fly" at 20k plus.

Not last night in LW.

MW still had some low fights.
If you are still finding the fights you want, why do you feel the need to piss in someone else's punchbowl?  Is the thought that someone may have a different idea of "fun" that troubling to you?

In other words, you just like being a negative nancy and hate it when other people have fun.  Got it.

That would have to be a booth review as you've used all your time outs.

But I will reduce it to negative nellie if it makes you feel better. :lol

Hmmm.  I logged on for the first time in weeks last night and had no problem finding a low furball in LW Orange.  I don't think I ever flew over 3K alt.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Tried it, wasted an hour+ climbing and driving to the new city. Bombed only to find afterwards the suburbs were non destructible. Shot down 2 fighters, eventually lost all 3 lancs.

I can say that I could have had way better ways to spend that hour+ time by furballing. Last sortie I'll make.

No way Shuff, can't agree there! This is as real as it gets outside of FSO and scenarios. There is place called the DA for 1 on 1 fights and furballs 24/7, you should get in there more often.

Great fun.

those patient ones were probably the ones that got most of yas too then.........

i was curious, as i was under the impression that bombers gor swarmed by 262's in the lw arenas........

Cap thats the way it usualy is, you wont see that many prop driven planes up high, mostly 262's , personally theres to many 262's in this game,(wouldnt hurt my feeling to remove them) And i know they werent that plentiful IRL.
