A certain bomber pilot...

[Chalenge]

I love this guy. Really. You save a ton of ammo when you run into him. There you are at 30k with his Lancs (almost always Lancs). You do the right thing to show him an historical matchup and go out front... but as soon as you get 3.0k from him he bails. 414 sorties this month alone and more than half of those he bailed. If you stay behind him but climb he dives and bails.

Why fly for more than an hour and bail?

Some people would be rejected even from virtual flight school.

It's his $15 right?

shrug. whine recorded.

Even though he bailed... It sounds like he won... Not the gun fight, but the mental fight...

Its his way of playing not yours... He keeps flying the way he wants to while you make a ridiculous thread.

Take the proxies, be happy.

I had a 2v1 with a Spit 9 and Pony yesterday, they dived in for a pick whilst I was engaged. I killed the pony, damaged the Spit but had lost cannons on one side and was dry if ammo. I wasn't going to be able to escape so I saddled up the Spit and chased him till he clipped a wingtip and crashed.
He then sat there without ending sortie for10 mins whilst I flew away and landed. He was well inside the dar ring and would have got a ditch no matter. He just made sure I didn't get the kill. I presume he then bailed, got a ditch and upped again.

You should have hid your plane and gone out for a bit

On the few occasions I have run into him I was escorting fighters and he was in no danger of being attacked. Yet he bailed.

You dont get proxies beyond about 1.5k range.

I noted tonight someone just like you. He spends $15 a month just so he can gripe about this AH program on local and make everyone want to be somewhere else.

At least you dont gripe.

Someone might look into the mirror first, then whine about someone who is stupidly avoiding any interaction with someone else.

I can't believe all you guys okay with bailing out instead of finishing the sortie! What kind of way is that to play a game? And at the end of the month you guys will give this clown a big high5/wtg when he's top bomber dweeb.     This game is in a sad state if the majority of the player base thinks that bailing out when confronted by opposition is acceptable.

To hell with the fight in a combat game....it's all about the score isn't it.

i agree that it is sad and kind of pathetic behaviour, but there is plenty of that in AH, it's not solely limited to bomb+bailer types

it's not going to change unless HTC wants it to, and why would they? the guy pays his money to do his thing and isn't hurting anyone

And here comes the standard "they do it for score!", the universal explanation for everything 'bad' in AH.  

Now think about it - does B'n'B help your score or hurt it?
