finding bombers!!!

[TDeacon]

To find high altitude bombers, watch the strats.  At least during US prime time, there always seems to be somebody messing with the strats.  Once you start making a habit of looking at strats, you notice the paterns of approach to them, and can estimate quite well when a dar bar 2-3 sectors away is headed towards them.  If someone is already at the strats, they usually make several passes, and you can estimate where they are by which strats are blinking, and when you get close, by the ack puffs.  Of course the ideal is to intercept them before they get there.  

My problem is that I am no good at attacking bombers, but at least I can find them.

so you guys are saying that 999000 is my prime target? Consider him downed  soon as I find him lol

I think when you see him on the roster you should PM him and ask where he is flying........

A word to the wise.....    "face palm"     When parts start falling off whatever vehicle you are in and most of the oil that was lubricating  and cooling your engine is now covering your windshield......  just give 999 a salute, pull off and start looking for the nearest friendly base to crash land on or near.   DO NOT.. 1) proceed unless you are looking to reverse engineer the proper gunnery for bombers, 2) call him a cheat on 200 and reveal any newb tendancies, 3)  spam the BBS on how bad the game design is, or 4) proclaim to quit the game and play WOT.

I think I did 3 of the 4 above    He is just that good.

shouldnt be a problem just look for "SYSTEM: 999000 has shot you down" in your text buffer.

Checking your stats for last month you had 79 kills TOTAL. 999000 had 103 in his B17s. I think you might want to practice up a bit more before you go hunting him..... unless you like taking off a LOT after he has shot you down.

to find the bombers one must think like a bomber pilot. 

Get a quick grasp of the war situation, what fields are they going after, what base you would use to roll from?  what squads are online and present.  Most of the hunting can be done by dar bar alone.

Then fly a 262 low and hard.  Find them on climbout, heavy and slow.  Even the best gunners will struggle to defend themselves.  Beware the crazy ones and the high and fast ones as they will most likely have a clue. 

I could find a set of buffs with 40 people in the arena especially when 20 of them are Bish

Keeping a close eye on the map looking 2 or 3 sectors from your strats and tracking the direction the red dar bar is moving can produce results

oh nice sig uptown.

Attacking 999000 will give you instant feedback on whether you're actually good, or if you need to work on your technique.

Good luck.




I have killed him a few times but he is a hell of a shot.

Being New to Aces high I must ask A stupid question,,,,,,,, When is the best time of day " east coast"  to find large bomber streams in AH? My main goal and why I fly is to hunt down and destroy as many bombers as possible,,,, I fly 190s almost exclusively, so until my whole squad starts flying here regularly " and they will be" Im looking for a squad to tag along with in the scenarios. You will find Im very proficient in bomber killing,, I never ever attack from the 6,,, always from the 10 and 2 o clock high diving at cockpit. Rrely getting pinged,,,,,,,, I must say the gunners are very accurate here as well so its a little harder here then that other sim, but just takes more patience. So Im open to invites to tag along with some great pilots

just listen out on Country chat for people organising a mission, when you have found out what base it is lifting from and its target, just switch sides and go kill it

great fun and great whines

[palef]

Right, so 999000 has to film every flight from here on in, just so we can get some personal satisfaction from a dose of schadenfreude.

I'm very much looking forward to 40 films or so before trymee kills a single 999000 formation drone, entirely due to one golden bb.

What a lot of folks don't know is triple 9s has a peg leg and only one good eye and doesn't fly unless he's polished off a couple quarts of Scotch first.  


He's a one eyed, peg legged, drunken mad man that has never even opened the bomb bay doors!

And it's amazing that he can fly with his one good arm...

   999  Please don't shoot me.
