Bailing to avoid ?
« on: April 09, 2011, 10:37:47 AM »
Is this some new strategy? Is there some bennefit to it?

Ran into this 3 times this morning, looks as though bailing from 5K out  seems to nullify even proxies, is this true?
I usually don't fly in the morning, can't say I've knowingly run in to this in the MA yet. I'ts kind of irritating to climb up to the stratoshere (cause NOTHING else is goin on) only to have them bail. I would think it would be irritating for the "bailer" also, to have climbed that high wasting all that time?


I don't get it?

its the "strategy" of the bomb-n-bail crowd to not give kills away to the ones who pursue them.  That is one of the reasons that I think ALL of the heavy bombers should have a small perk price added to make the bomb-n-bail crowd stop their antics.  The amount of destruction the heavy buffs can cause is amazing, yet there is no repercussion for just bailing on a whim time and time again.

i've noticed some people in fighters doing that...doesn't make any sense but if there is a way to game the game people will do it.

I've done it if I'm in a 152 or something and there's a horde of 10+ 400 behind me, no point trying to fight that.

Proxy range should be extended to 6K. Bailing from a bomber that has not taken significant structural damage from enemy fire rendering it unflyable should result in automatic capture or death.

Let's play with a little more class guys.  Well actually I do it in ground vehicles from time to time but I'm not proud of it.

I despise people who bomb and bail.  There is no greater coward I despise in this game than someone who bombs and bails.

Gaming the game crowd has no greater coward than a bomb and bail tardlet.

Bomb and bail guys may be doing it for expediency. Never bombing, then bailing anyway is the one I don't understand  :huh
