  WTG hitech on the wind.  this starts at 10k and goes up......How about rain and bad weather below 10k at tank town on maps with that feature.  a little weather wont really affect the gv play,but might thwart the massive bombing of gv's at that point. the rest of the map would still be clear and normal,just the tank town gv area would be affected.

Why do people that take out GVs insist they should be immune from air attack?

If you lift it or roll it in the main arenas, it is a target.

I agree.  If you up in a tank you're a target. Safe from nothing.  It is about as gamey as it gets though having a Lancaster carpet bomb a couple of tanks with 14/1000 lb bombs

I would be cool with some form of that IF it were also nearly impossible for the main gun of a tank to hit a maneuvering aircraft.  Just like in RL.

Before you spawn a GV, help 'em take down ords at nearest air field. bomb****s are busy resupplying or awhile.  :D

So what about guys like myself who like to go on bombing runs? Not against GV's but against targets in general. I don't care if that is the HQ or a Bomber Hanger. If I bomb above 10K I have wind that, at this moment, makes hitting the target extremely challenging. Now you are asking to make it almost impossible for me to bomb UNDER 10K as well? Whats the point in me bombing? I am as entitled as you are to have fun in my own way. I pay the same ammount. So why try to limit what I can do? I understand you mentioned only in the TT area, however as far as I am aware the arena settings do not allow for specific areas of weather. It is all or nothing and with that said, I vote loudly for nothing. I'm sure I am not going to be the only Buff Pilot feeling this way about your wish.

The problem isnt that, its that all fields seem to field formations of lancs and other heavy bombers.

This may be an error with the map design ideaologies currently circling around the game or a lack of controlling inplements but the true culprit lies in the inherently flawed spawn camping system that exists.

Most gv battles are wack-a-mole minigames which, while sustain the current demands of the community make it a laughing stock of gameplay to those otherwise not fimiliar with the emotional demands that drive it.

well it's one thing to carpet bomb the spawn with 17's or lancs. It's another to carry limited ord to go seek  and out GV's.
If you lift it or roll it in the main arenas, it is a target.
I agree with you 100 %

Macleod01......you have the right to bomb and help capture fields.....have fun doing it. He is referring to the areas of the map that are dedicated to GV fights. There are guys that bomb GV's and that is all they do. That is why I suggested taking down ords at the near air fields.  It has no effect on capturing the map.

The classic solution is for fighters to shoot the bombers down.
