We should have reduced Plane Icon range "The Ho" would reduce substantially. (Not Plane type but Knight Bishop etc)

aircraft recognition would become a skill.

  I GV a lot and have been on the wrong end of a bomb or two. Making them miss is part of the fun though harder with competant players. I will bomb GVs advancing on a base as defense of said base and I will target the perk tanks as they will be harder for my sides GVs to kill. So up a panzer when your Buds have perk rides around you.

I've been bombed every time I've tried to GV this camp.  It really takes the fun out of it and no tank is safe.

Oh sure, I know I know.  Have fighter support, have flak protection, etc.,etc., etc.  Well that's kind of hard as a lone wolf player.

The thing is GV battles draw bombt*>ds like sh*t draws flies.  And why?  Easy kills and your name in lights.  There's nothing easier in the game than dropping a bomb on a tank that can't defend itself from it.  Yet those that do are awarded the same perks, points and accolades as someone who dukes it out in a one on many fighter fight taking multiple scalps.  I have to ask who's more skilled or deserves the higher reward?

So here's the idea part.  Reduce the kills awarded for bombing tanks.  Count each as 1/4, 1/3 or 1/2 a kill with comensurate points and perks.  The guys who are there to legitimately break a spawn camp or fly air support for their GV's will still be there but I bet there won't be nearly as many of them.  It will take more than a couple of bombs to land two kills/sortie.  The GVers will have more fun and the bomblets will be rewarded comensurate with their skill level.

Flame on.



We had a bunch of GVs attacking an air base last night. I think if that can stop them maybe the bomber types will stop hittong GVs... maybe.   :)

Can't work in the mains as each side has access to all planes.
