New Bomber Tactic (not so new)

[DCCBOSS]

Well I have read some of the replies here, I do not believe in bailing unless you are shot down, I rather kill the attacking plane and continue on my way, as for the bailers I would suggest a point penalty to a bailer over enemy territory with no plane damage at all and the closest enemy get the points charged to the bailer and the kill for it.

Good idea.

[LLogann]

Not a bad idea at all.....

Perhaps even make it so if you bail from an undamaged plane, you forfeit your perks and score for the sortie.  THat kind of rule would work both ways..... If you need to bail out to go someplace more pressing, you can do so because you havent reached your target anyway.

[Beefcake]

So....basically....you want to be rewarded with kills and points for a pilot bailing out of a bomber(s), even though you risked nothing to get them. At the same time you want said buff pilot to lose perks and points for bailing out.


Yeah.....once again I'm glad Hitech has more sense than grammer skills.

no points for proxies

Thats what I was referring to, I know that right now you get no perks for proxies and it should remain that way.

I think you will find for most if us who have been playing for a while & have 10's of thousands of points this would be a non issue.

[Nemisis]

Either that or put a time limit between bailouts.

If your in a formation, you bail from the first one, a 30 second limit before you can bail from the second, and another 30 seconds before you can bail from the third one.

Of course if you do that they'll all just learn to alt F4, hard reboot, etc.

What if you get your wing blown off, have to bail, and then your verticle stabilizer get shot off in the second one after 5 secs? Are we going to make them stay in the plane till the 30 secs are up?

+100 but only if the bomber can continue flying when they bail from the first one (no wing missing, 2 engines are undamaged, and stabalizers, and tail and whatever else is still attached).

[Beefcake]

Trust me lyric1, I've been here since Dec 1999 and I have more perks than I know what to do with. My problem is people wanting to to put unfair limits on certain planes just because they want a few "Free" kills for the attaboy reaction. I agree that pilots bailing to avoid a fight is lame, however, I sometimes bail out when no one is around so I can move to an area where I know I'll get engaged. Yes I know that sounds odd but I'm the type of buff pilot that likes to test his gunnery skills vs good attackers, so when none are around I want to move on.

[The Fugitive]

Well Fug and Bronk and the rest of you noobs should know by now that even though you try to monopolize the direction of the game you have little or no effect since you primarily like things the way they are without change. HTC at least has class (which obviously none of the bailers do) and I have to put the four of you in the same class since you condone this action.

The original wish was for the proxy range on bombers to go to 6k. The reason is because there has been a large number of bombers (since the latest changes) bail when approached. At 6k they cant tell if a dot is friendly or not and quite possibly in the time it takes him to see a dot and check his clipboard the dot would be an icon. The wish was not for more proxy kills but TO STOP BOMBERS FROM BAILING.

Somehow the four of you took that and thought 'oh gee Chalenge just wants more proxies' but NO the idea is to stop the bailers. WHY should anyone even think about launching a fighter or bomber or GV in this game and think for one instant that they could play in the main arena and not ever get shot at? Why would you condone that? If thats what they want they can have the TA or offline.

Why you would condone that? I think I need to expand my definition of the word moron because your minds go in directions only a mother could love.

Again Chalenge proves he doesn't read posts, just writes them. No where have I ever said I condone bailing from a perfectly good plane, I believe if you check back you'll find that I said I believed it was as lame as HOin.... but you'll have to read it.

And changing the range for the proxie isn't going to change anything.... except maybe to get you a few more kills. Lots of players love to bomb stuff and then go get another plane load. HTC changed the settings so if you bail before your bombs hit they don't count. I think thats about as far as they will go with it.

Your trying to get changes to stop people from playing the way they want to. After all it's their $15 and if they want to bail after a drop then I guess they can. I don't like it anymore than you, but I rarely see it as I guess the guys flying down in the weeds like to fight it out more.

[LLogann]

An interesting tangent you've put me on Fugi.... In a purely fantasy world, if something could be done about ho'ing in game.... Code to stop ho's from happening so to speak....  Would you be interested in that?

I believe if you check back you'll find that I said I believed it was as lame as HOin.... but you'll have to read it.

That is exactly when I was opposed to the idea.

I've escorted Beefcake in numerous scenarios, he never ceases to be an upright gentleman. 

[CAP1]

i've only ever had one buff driver bail when i got near him. it was in the beginning of dec., and he was in b24's. i had shot him down several times, and he finally gave up on this base. i saw a set north, dove on em, and i htink as soon as he saw the 38 o doom comin, he bailed.


 most times, buff drivers don't bail. they shoot my cartoon plane out of the cartoon sky,. 

[Silat]

Sorry I dont remember that but you can be sure you wont get anymore.  

Yeah.. I know it's hard to remember all the times you put your foot in other people's business isn't it?
To many lies and to many stories about F16's and scorpion bites will get you confused V..

By the way I won.. I got my money back..........   

[FYB]

I would of lit up the 38 with a well placed 100 rounds of .50's.

See if you survive when i pop those fragile radiators and break into your skull with a swift horizontal firing line.
