Lancasters perk them?

[The Fugitive]

I think the bomb load is counter balanced by the slow speed, and the lesser defensibility.

I know I love seeing a lanc. I know I won't be all day catching him, and I know I'll have more time to kep my guns on the target for each pass, and I know 999000 usually doesn't fly Lancs

just pointing out... the question mark is in the title...it is a question in general to see what people think of the idea... aswell as any input.... thats why #6 is you tell me...

so instead of trying to target the thought... how about give some constructive feedback


and about the fighters....who carry more ords...  this is true but im just referring to lancs... not all planes

The Lanc makes the trade off of defensive guns for more bombs.  They are easy to intercept and kill.  Any perk price wouldn't just make them less common, it would make them nigh extinct in the MA.

STOP IT-they are not gonna perk the lancs--so forget about it...the only real to stop the lancstukas is to stoot them down as soon and as fast as possible.

I like lancstukas, extremely easy targets for a wirble.

I have a film of me and 3 other guys at our GV spawn point getting bombed by 2 sets of lancs...

I killed 5 of them

stabbyy, once you build your skills you will find Lancs don't need to be perked. 

Your posts in the wishlist section smack of a newer person trying to learn the game and wanting it to be made easier.  Work on your skills, get a trainer and focus on tactics and gunnery.

I hope you take this the right way...

I wouldn't want lancs to be perked, they make up like 15% of the kills I score each tour. although I will say, I kind of feel for the poor Gvers when somebody brings a set of lancs in at 1k and carpet bombs a spawn with 1000lbers.

Lancs are shooting gallery targets with pop-guns for defense.  They are slow, fat targets to boot. 

I sometimes let them go on their way out of pity. 

Sometimes.



Does that sound like something that needs to be perked?

you should never feel sorry for spawn campers.

  Takes two to camp a spawn.

takes two to get a spawn camp carpet bombed by lancs too

Too bad you can't step outside of the box sometimes.

I look at bombers at what they can do, and how easily they can do it, and THEN survivability. Notice how many start by saying "X bomber is a sitting duck", etc, well all it takes to fix that is an escort fighter or two.

Post like this make me laugh as well.

The people that cry to perk a bomber do so because they were either bombed or shot down by the bomber they wish to have perked.  There is no valid reason to perk the Lancaster, it does not unbalance the game play in any fashion.

Basically, players (like the OP and those that think like him) cry to perk planes that kill them and/or they can't kill themselves.

actually for your information i do not view lancasters as a direct threat... even if im in GV the wish was a wish yes... but it was also a question to see what people thought

what does bother me is how stupidly they are used... vary rarely will lancs return home... because they are slow... which contributes to bomb n bail after WF town(because they can near WF it in 1 pass 2 at most)

also contributes to suicide into carrier groups

and low level carpet bombing of spawns

and at the time of i think it was 45k pounds(currency) for 1 lanc... that would be like i think some where 2million pounds today? or almost 4 million a plane math might be off on that one

so the fact people are throwing away we'll say 12million in planes just to kill a hand full of targets its a bit much

and granted i my self have done many of the listed above things....just not the bomb n bail that being said... i still dont think it should happen so frequently anything that can shut down a base purely on its own... should be perked in my opinion

and for the record it really does not matter what bomber you are in when you get intercepted it depends on what intercepted you... and how good of a gunner you are slow speed makes them easier to intercept yes... but it does not take many 50 cals to bring a plane on your 6 down...
