Opinions on the performance of the TU2S

[BuckShot]

It does good as a fighter but only because the victims don't expect it to aggressively attack them......and then it's too late.

That will change once fighters give it a little more respect.

All but one of the fighter kills was a dogfight and often was 1 tu2 vs 3 enemy fighters.........ask the victims.

It's also able to run down B29s if you are in perfect position and altitude.

Nice one ice, I remember that one, now I know what you where in. insult to injury!

In a base defense situation I don't understand the motivation for engaging enemy bombers who are RTB. Let them go and focus on the incoming bombers who still carry ord. Shooting down empty bombers only make them up new, fully laden bombers faster. We have unlimited number of lives and planes; the MA is not a war of attrition.

I really didnt want this to turn into another, bailer/drones whine thread. Can we focus on the aircraft itself please?

So the bomber guy breaks all your stuff and just because his bomb bay is now empty, he should be free to go?  That vulching Tempon has spent all his ammo and racked up ten kills but let him go, he's no longer a threat!   

[GScholz]

So you'd prefer to let another bomber guy get through the base defense to break more of your stuff just so you can run after empty bombers to extract some misguided revenge?

That depends on the situation.  If time has been invested in climbing to attack the outgoing bombers, that is where my bullets are going.  If there is little chance of me catching him, then I will divert to the inbound set.  It isn't misguided revenge.  It's called combat.  Come after my base and you will be shot at.  By the way, how do you determine when bombers are empty?  If let go, he could very well return for another pass, could he not?

You may base every move you make on the current tactical situation, but that doesn't mean I have to.  Paying $14.95 a month entitles me to be my own General.

Not sure why you have posted your kills so proudly, without your deaths no one can respect it with a straight face.

I have zero respect for you dolby and likely never will because of your unhealthy fixation with me.



Most of my tu2 deaths were from AFK flying deep into enemy territory or stupidly diving into very bad odds furballs.

It's not good in furballs but works OK in one vs one odds.

I like it's ability to land 14k damage on a fighter sortie and engage fighters on the way home.

Sorry Hellbuck.....you were obviously away from keyboard doing something productive since that KI84 was at 24,000 feet.

Respect for the tutu you half wit..

Indeed. The same goes for those who prefer to bail, auger or furball in their bombers after dropping.

It's surprisingly nimble for its bombing capabilities.  I got into it last night with an F4U after I hit the CV he'd taken off from.  We wound up killing each other as he got my six and I went to rear guns.  I almost got front guns on in the 3 or 4 turns before got my six.  I did start with alt though.

It's an interesting addition to the game.  I absolutely love it for hitting CV's due to the speed and climb.  I don't often have the patience to put 4 engine bombers over a boat at enough altitude, but the Tu2 hits the sweet spot for me for payload and convenience getting to target.

A wonderful model I would say. Maybe the best in my time here. Its everything I had hoped for in all these years.

So, i guess that if teamkill was possible, u'd be TKed with a smile ?

The best addition in a long time, and I think Ack Ack be smoking crack crack.  It's a great fighter against the unwashed masses and soaks up damage quite well as long as you don't fly straight and level and let them put a sustained burst into one area.  Not to mention the fact you can kill 6 GVs with it before you start clubbing seals.   <3

Absolutely. The TU2 isthe perfect CV killer many dreamed of : a great addition to the game, thanks HTC !
