Yeah, I don't quite get the radar heroes. They pork radar, and usually nothing happens until it pops,
and he comes to pork it again.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

How about: Bail Bombers, Zero enemy based damage = no ords for your handle for one hour?

Solution: Ride it down. Still way faster then flying all the way back to base. Most of the time you don't even have to ride down the whole way, as the disintegrating fuselage will send you to tower.

Well, in this case you will also deny ords to all those that lose their bombers due to a piloting error...

True, but when thinking through possible solutions, that was about the only one that came to mind. There is certainly no easy answer.  :salute

I don't think score changes will stop them.

How about...

Increase the distance for a proxy to Icon range (6K) for an undamaged Aircraft (or just limit that rule to buffs, or even Buffs above a certain Alt)

Bailing from a undamaged aircraft should carry a penalty, maybe half perk points or something.
Apart from forcing players from gaming the game, what if a player wants to join a mission? Or leave to join the SEA? Or have to be AFK for a dozen different reasons and we're punishing them for...wanting to pee?

Seriously... let the game be played in how it's designed.  And no one said that war was played fair either.... ;)

the problem is you guys are trying to come up to with a solution to something that isnt really a problem.  unless you expect me to believe that 90% of all the bombers bail out. 

I once went up to about 28k and was able to catch some lancs and nailed 2 of them from a little more than 1k out with a 110. he never touched me and he bailed the last bomber and raged pm'd me.  I understood his frustration as he never had a chance to defend himself. he took 2 or 3 times longer than I did to get to that altitude and it was for nothing.

whenever somebody complains about bombers bailing, I think about that guy, I bet he wished he had bailed out to deny  me the kills.  he was willing to fight and got none.  just like you guys have broken contact with a bomber basically because he had kicked your buttt and now want to land somewhere to deny him a kill.  I have had my share of more than a few fighters that I damaged pretty bad and they were able to land or ditch and I got nothing.

now to be fair to the bomber guys then ask for a rule something along the lines that if you get within 6k of one and he bails than you get a kill.  on the other hand if you get within 6k and break contact to more than 6k for whatever reason, for more than a couple of minutes then he gets a kill and you die.  make it a rule so it's only above 20k.  hey you climbed to fight, didnt ya.  then you fight until one is dead.   :bolt:.

i've seen one set bail in the last 3 years, ducati3 bailed all 3 of his lancs a couple mins in to his sortie I assume to hit our CV.   Its what ever, made my job easier.

your part of a great squad with great people around you. You should try your best to emulate their behaviour  :salute
I know thats a long shot and not likely to happen but from my point of view it had to be said.
