GV ejectors

ok thanks guys for your comments, and ack ack isnt a tool btw he may sound like an arse but he is bery true in most cases. I figured out my own solution, put a few rounds in them, then go up and do your dive run and if they bail you still get your kill because you put some guns on them on previous run. That my new solution. Again thanks for response salute. RedTail

That won't work if they are on pavement. As long as they are on a road or pad at the base. you can turrent them and they can still land without you getting credit. Just have to dive in from very high at 90 degree angle so they don't know until too late.

true, just thought of that after i post it, ugh. thanks ill try that, if not ill bomb gvs not on the pavement.

Why is it lame that you took up a Lancaster to bomb some tanks?  There is nothing wrong with it despite the tools like members of the vDevils pout, let them cry and call you a "bomber" all they want.  They are the ones getting a new tank and you're the one smiling because you just made a group of tools whine and pissed.
ack-ack

I agree, let them whine. I will cuss ya out under my breathe, but if you look at my kills this month so far in an M4, I have killed almost as many planes as GVs. So go ahead, bring out the bombers.

BINGO!! You know the only reason they park on the roads are for the quick escape.lol

On landing kills in gvs i think instead of a 10 sec wait to .ef, which that is a good idea but for landing kills it should be that you have to land near or inthe VH. How does that sound?

To make it fair, planes should then only be able to land their kills at the base near HQ.

Personally, I think its cheap. I bombed an M4 the other night and missed, no big deal, came around for a second pass and he shoots at me with his main gun and missed. I drop a second bomb and he towers out, the bomb lands right where he was seconds before.

Now - had he hit me with his main gun, it woulda been his kill and he'd be happy and gloating.

Bombs were dropped on tanks - it happened, lots of historical evidence to back that up. Planes shot down by main guns on tanks - only one historical event that I've ever been able to find, it was an M5 that hit a Japanese fighter and it was purely by accident.

So - if tanks can shoot at planes with main guns and its perfectly acceptable to take your punishment, why can't it be acceptable the other way around?

Falling bombs and jabos are an everyday part of a WW2 tankers' life. Towering out to avoid the bomb and the subsequent kill is simply gaming the game. It stinks, but that's what we have to deal with.

Flame away, tards.

If you tank expect a bomb. If its me bombing you. Expect to die.

Maybe I missed it, but why is a 10 second wait to tower out of both planes and tanks terrible again?

I don't really care that much about tanks bailing under a bomb, but I do feel it's cheesy gameplay no different from bomb and bailing, jabocide on the dar with no attempt to survive, and plug pulling when the enemy gets close to your bomber.

As far as the main gun thing, I still maintain if you put a WWII tank crew on a mountain of ammo in the middle of a field, and had a b25 running patterns around that field at say, 1k alt and told them to knock it down, giving them a bunch of different angles to shoot from, they'd do it within an hour.  The same if it was a fighter that kept coming straight at them like it was going to drop a bomb from a shallow angle.  The reason I believe it didn't happen in the war was it was a low percentage shot, and they had better things to expend their limited ammo on than aircraft.  Also, the planes probably rarely if ever came in shallow enough for them to get the gun high enough to get at them.

If I am the tank, expect your bomb to hit dirt.

Instead of whining about towering out just go to spawn and clear out the gv's there.  They can't tower out and you'll hear a lot of compliments on 200.  You might get saluted for a great 1000lb drop on a M3 dropping supplies.  Before ya come out and bomb the spawn at least try to up a few times at the spawn to attempt to clear it out. 

[kvuo75]

Anyone in the game can alt out any time they get into a position of being killed.
Exiting a GV once a bomb is headed your way is the same thing. 

it's different. disco counts as half a death, landed successfully counts as 0 death.

It is poor gameplay, cheap gameplay.... but thats just how some people are.  Others stay in the game and with the fight until the end.  Those are the ones that make the game a better experience.

i agree it's gamey, and so are many other things in the game, but i don't know how giving free kills makes good gameplay..  Do you think the endless #'s of people who give vulchers at a completely capped base free kills is good gameplay as well??

the gv is essentially a sitting duck for anyone with a bomb. the jabo or the carpet bomber doesn't risk anything, why should the gv if he doesn't have to?

Homefield advantage?  no.  thats just HTCs code speak way of saying not important enough to address.  And I agree.  Some of us are going to stick with it, others will bail at the first sign of being beaten.  Nothing can be done to make those people want to fight it out. 

fight what out? what kind of fight is a gv going to give an airplane, sitting stationary on his own base, with the bombs already incoming?

I will continue to tower out whenever I wish, if only to make people waste bombs.  On a related note, I occasionally do it with planes when a base is being actively vulched, up a 262 or something on a rwy, and tower out soon as they come racing over each other shooting at a defenseless plane on a runway. it becomes a game of chicken.. wait till they're close enough to waste ammo, but not hit ya it's great fun!

[sky25]

LOL.  That is so trul.   

I'd expect nothing less from you either Oakranger .You are the number 2 bulletin Board tool...

[Spikes]

I always found the guys who tower out at a spawn as I'm diving on them funny...I get the kill either way. If it's not a flak I usually don't even drop a bomb on the first pass to see what they do.
