getting shot down
« on: December 18, 2009, 08:59:29 PM »
I did not know where to put this.

I just tried to do a bombing mission and my planes B24s did not get enough left and all of them crashed into a hill.  And it says I was shot down.  Why?  There was a M4 about 3K away and he didn't even fire at me.  I know this because I was in F3 view.  It there a reason for this?
Thanks

Yea if someone is near you they will get a kill that is worth nothing point wise.

Try taking off with only 25% or 50% feul in bombers, then you wont chrash.

It's always a good idea to consider and check your runway options when launching a single (or formation) of bombers.

And you can do that by using the numbers (10 key area on the right hand side of your keeyboard) from the tower.  Some runways go right into a hillside.

Flaps shorten your takeoff roll.

Partial flaps create a lot of lift, full flaps create a lot of drag. :airplane:

Yeah those runways that go straight into a hill really do suck.
