bombing GV's at Vbases

[CAP1]

I have noticed the same players over and over towering out when a bomb is headed their way. when you only have 1 bomb this "gaming the game" BS is just that, flaker towers to avoid a bomb only to re-emerge in a flak a second later. why not delay the tower request til AFTER bomb hits the ground and stop the abuse.

kill his hangars first. then egg him.


problem solved.

Sometimes I don't have a grand strategy behind bombing a GV , it's just fun to watch him blow up.    If they tower out, whatever, I'm not going to go whining about it.

[bagrat]

well i don't see much a problem wit this request, maybe a second or 2 before you return to the tower to represent getting out of ur vehicle or plane (in a crackhead speed at that). besides no one here actually CARES about there rank an score do they? or do they an not want to add another death to their K/D.

the only thing is if it is changed for vehicles it would most likely be changed for planes too, an do u really wanna give that guy who chased u all the way back to base a few more seconds before u can land successfully.

IMO people who think every request is whine really ought a expand there vocabulary,don't shun everyone for having an opinion.....tards

Can't say I've ever had this happen to me when bombing gvs or maybe I didn't notice?  hurri d is a lot of fun against gvs especially swiping your own sides kills at a spawn camp  GV has the potential to be exciting but any time you spawn into some action theres about 15 guns pointed waiting for you even if you make a run for it you usually don't get far  Which leads me to ask the question what is the thrill of 9-10 camping a spawn?  I just don't get it granted your there to kill GVs appearing but doesn't having to compete with 10 of your team mates not cheese you off? 
(this is a serious question for GVers btw)

U think its bad now.. There was a time when the gv's would spawn in nearly the exact same spot every time. would only have a to move the turret just a few mils.. Ahh the good ol' days

I have issues with GVs trying to kill my plane. Many times I'm just doing acrobatics to entertain them.

Same here, I can't believe they actually want to shoot me down 

[trax1]

I will bomb GVs all day especially when certain people in this game drive tanks that will kill u with one shot after being hit hit 15-20 times by a more powerful tank.

I know what your implying here because you had 2 threads shut down because of it.  The reason this might happen is because your shooting the tank at it's strongest point, and he hits you at your weakest point.  The effect a tank round has on another tank all depends on where you hit it & the distance the round traveled, you don't get the same amount of damage no matter where your round hits the tank.

As for those complaining about people towering when the whistle of the bomb is heard it's a legitimate tactic in the game, like others have mentioned, if you were on the runway and saw a plane coming in to vultch are you gonna just sit there and let him kill you? 

And why are you bombing a gv when the hangers are still up to begin with, to get an easy kill?  If you kill him all he's gonna do is up again.  If your using the argument that this tactic wasn't possible in WW2, well in WW2 I doubt the guys bombing would have killed GV's right next to a hanger full of them, wouldn't they take the hangers out first?

[Masherbrum]

Lol, I said you guys.  Players in general.

2nd.  The difference is that the GV was not just spawning without knowledge of a bomb being on the way.  It had been fighting for a while.  Can you tell me if a Panzer crew engaged in battle could even see the plane coming?  How long would it take the driver to get out and out of range of the blast?  No risk to the plane?  Why, there is ack, maned ack, flaks, and other planes that he had to avoid and then he had to aim right, not auger, etc.  I can also give you the crap responses we get on CVs being sunk (if you dont want it sunk, defend it).  If you don't want to get bombed, defend your GVs with flacks.  The moment you get in one, you should expect to get bombed.

Bottom line is, its lame.  Don;t want to get bombed, don't get in one.

So, give me my auto bail over my field to count as a safe landing.  After all, I am over my field, why shouldn't it count my kills?

Best post in this thread.   Every point is spot on.

see./.the problem with people requesting things like this.....is that those are the types of people that've caused a dozen laws for one single thing in real life.
 they think they can regulate common sense. in here, they think they can regulate game play. they fail to understand, that someone will ALWAYS find a way to "game" the game.

 look at the recent adjustment to the turret speed in the wirbels. there's already been at least 2 threads on how to game that.

 just use that big blob of grey stuff between your ears, and adapt to the situation.

The benefits of home field advantage.



If its "in the game" then folk will use it and whining about the fact that they do is wasted debate.

IMO it would be neat if the Gv hung around for a few seconds after the player towered out. This way (if the gv is destroyed) it becomes the equivilent of a bail... the player survived but the GV is destroyed and the players status could be confirmed after those few seconds have elapsed.

if the same thing happened with a /.ef (in any vehicle) then it would still work.

If you use a heavy bomber to bomb GVs you stink. If you cant get past a good tank and you up to go bomb him you stink.

I hope you can live with that.

  Makes mental note to bomb Chalenge next time he kills me in a tank lol....(You'll be safe mate, cant bomb for anything  )

Ha! Just yesterday I went out and killed two tanks coming in to our field deep in rook territory but as I was driving back to the base seven air cons came in to flatten the field and then decided to bomb my tiger. I managed to ping a few with my pintle and actually destroyed one altogether but they mostly augered trying to shoot or bomb me and then I got a few M3s before the other bish drove from our spawn to the field and could defend it. At that point I was getting assists on M3s even though I was causing tracks to fail and smoking something on them so I landed. I never used to like tank battles but in the heat of things like that its actually a ton of fun and even exciting at times even if you do die but having some noob come bomb you after you have decimated his friends is... LAME.

 If one is going to throw a fit about the gv that was there, no longer being there,one needs to bomb from whence he came. Such nonsense would then not be an issue.

Go back from which you came ! What is  shall be done!
