Alright, i can't ignore the idiocy and irrelevancy of that statment, THIS is my last post in this thread.

First off, you're just jumping from place to place in the agrument.

That would encourage some GV's to up and fight the GV's. Perk loss from dying to an M3(75) that you didn't see till to late is still there. If your VH is down, then go bomb our VH. I don't mind. More power to you as long as I don't loose a bunch my perks because you don't really feel like taking the 5 minutes to drive out and shoot me.

And you don't have to camp the spawn, you just have to stop them short of the field. It doesn't WHERE they're stopped, just that they're stopped.

And while some would keep spawning in, most would get bored at the lack of action (ie, GV's upping to fight the GV's) and go somewhere else.

If you're not going to use the VH on the base to up a tank to stop me, whats the point of it even being there?
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

If this is the way you use your gvs, its no wonder why you keep getting bombed.... its like flying a bomber into a hot zone without airsupport... or fiters  without bullets... or 262s without fuel... do you see my point here???

He was bombed twice.

I keep thinking I get bombed all the time too. I say to myself, "I'd be doing so much better in tanks if I didn't get bombed all the time" or "just as the fight starts getting good, I get bombed".
I look at my stats and it turns out it's a very small percentage as well.

He he....complaining about getting egged in this game......come on really. It's like a rocking chair........ gives you something to do, but won't get you anywhere.

Get used to it, as it is part of the game. Just as getting hoed, or shot down......etc.

Further more if a person does not like the fact that I egged them they have the choice to up and try to shoot me down. If I bomb from 34k, they can up and shoot me down. If I am in a fighter shooting down your squadie, you have the choice to up and shoot me down. So from every action comes a equal......reaction. It is how the game was programmed and it is what makes the game great to play.

Most just getting thier feelins hurt because someone ruined thier 'GV Fun"......Well honestly we all have our fun ruined from time to time in the game. :salute

Okay so a lot of you guys either continue to miss the point of this thread, or are just trolling around. More times then i can count my squaddies and/or I have attacked/defended bases in perked tanks and to the credit of most of the people we have fought they have upped tanks, but as soon as they die once or twice they jump into to their trusted Lancstukas and just start camping over the spawns.

I do agree with what Tank-Ace is saying, you shouldn't loose all your perks to someone who couldn't figure out how to kill tiger with a Panzer IV or an M8 (its not that hard). On the other hand i don't think that you should get to keep all your perks after getting bombed that would just result in that Perked GVs upping again and again. I say that you should lose about half off your total perk cost for the GV, maybe even 75% of it.

Also you should get double the amount of perks for killing GVs by strafing it to death. but that's just my thoughts on it

The purpose of GVs is to start fights, both in the air and on the ground.
While a uninterrupted ground battle is nice, there's nothing better than when there are both planes and GVs fighting it out at a V base or spawn point. Why are you here? Perk Points?

I already posted some examples of Allied operations were heavy bombers flew as low as 3,000ft and carpet bombed German armored positions to support the various break out operations in Normandy (Operation Cobra, Operation Goodwood).

   :huh Okay that's great and all, but that wasn't my question

:headscratch: Historical Question  :headscratch: : How many times was a Lancaster/B17/B24 etc. etc. flown in at low alt. (800ft) and carpet bombed one or more GVs

  I didn't ask how many times heavy bombers bombed GVs. I asked how many times did they come in at low Alt. "800ft", and let me add another related question. How many times have heavy Bombers been used to divebomb GVs in the real would

I have two quesion for you.  How many things can you do on AH that you physically cannot do in the real world? And how many things can you physical do in the real world that you virtually cannot do on AH?
