Nonsense. My wish is as valid as all the GV faction's ones campaigning for less GV deaths.

That doesn't mean you didn't start this thread to antagonize GV'ers. At least have the stones to admit as much.

And you flyboys honestly need to take your advice, Shida. Aircraft still kill more GV's than GV's do aircraft. And even if it were 1:1, that would be perfectly 100% acceptable.

Let me just say this as a closing statement. The more you guys whine, the sweeter it is to me, and the more I hope you get shot down when doing nothing to a GV.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

Well that seems to have been an amusing side effect.

Shouldn't they though?

Sorry to disappoint you, if and when that happens, I'll just get another aircraft. Plenty in the hangar.

Is wager it was at least an ulterior motive, if not a primary one.

You don't start out a post being as combative and aggressive as you did unless you're trying to cheese someone off, or are just generally a whiney little arse.

Why? P- 51's shoot down Spitfires. 109s shoot down 262s. As long as the aircraft are accurate, history has nothing to do with the MA.

And as far as it being "aces HIGH", nowhere does it say or even imply that you can poke the hornet's nest and not get stung. If you leave GV's alone when they're not attacking you're base, I guarantee you will get shot down less than before the change.


Also do remember that HTC obviously backs the GV community. It's obviously not so large a problem (if it even is one. Based on what I've seen, I chalk it up to incompetence and pride. Yes, even for you) that it needs to be addressed before adding new units.

Wow.  What stupid arguments.  It is what it is and reflects what happened IRL from both sides.  Get over it and play the game.

You don't start out a post being as combative and aggressive as you did unless you're trying to cheese someone off, or are just generally a whiney little arse.

Really?  It sounded more like a little tounge in cheek fun to me.  If you take the idea of every GV having a large orange cone on top of it to guide bombs as a serious suggestion you have no sense of humor and are, in fact,  the one being combative and aggressive in replying negatively.  Either that or you're a moron.

You put a herring on the hook, play some line out over the back of the boat, and match speed with the fish you are after...trolling it is...

And, the infinite argument is open.

Just wanted to say that I got my 100th kill in a B-25H the other day when I popped a Tiger II from a 1000 yards out.  Not only did the achievement make me smile, the whines from the Tiger II driver were icing on the cake.

Do you really prefer the B25 H over other weapons platforms?

I always feel like it's just too ungainly to avoid fire of there's a flacker present. And it's such a big target, it's not hard to hit.

There is no other aircraft in the game that can hit a GV from beyond 1,000+ yards and still have the capability of a one shot kill at that distance or longer ranges (if you're a good aim and have a good gun sight). 

If there is a flak panzie present and I don't feel like playing Wild Weasel, then I'll stay outside gun range and hit him long range with my 75mm cannon.  If you don't kill the flak panzie with a single hit, then you'll at the least take out the turret, leaving it useless.  If I want to make my run a little more lively, then I'll go in really low, firing my .50s from 1000 yards out and keep firing until I've over flown the flak panzie as just as I'm about to fly past, fire my 75mm into it.  I usually take some damage doing it this way, but it's fun.
