If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

Because the OP got carpet bombed while hiding in town and didn't like it.






 :devil

Not really. Just tired of getting bombs dropped on me from full formation lancs dropping 14 x 1000lbs in one salvo.

oh I see, it's not that you "didn't like it" it's that you are "tired of it". A very legit distinction  :D

I dont know I guess I dont play as much anymore.  but the last time I saw somebody carpet bombing a town to kill a gv was a couple of years ago.  however this thread gives me the idea of taking lancs and carpet bombing the spawn at v85.  I want to break my record of 5 kills with one drop.  but that was with a pony and only 2 1k bombs  :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:.

Reminds me of a time I flown over there and seen something hilarious.

A low set of B29s carpet bombing v85 spawn... and killing themselves because they were too low.

 :rofl

I really need to find that film

Regardless of whether or not it's a socially acceptable practice, it is extremely annoying.

so it's having 60% of the players on 2 countries at that spawn.

Semp,

You ever wondered how in our game, men who would never as a group stand on a busy railroad track in large groups with their eyes closed and ears plugged. Do exactly that in the game, and complain to Hitech it's unfair when the euphemistic train(bombers) smear them from the face of the earth.

I've been at V85 when a hoard of bomber boxes flattened it from 15k and every GV defending against the spawn.

Hitech is not accepting our $14.95 so we can be immune to getting whacked in this game. He really does expect us to take care of that ourselves in the game. By no means are any of us ignoramuses. Though I have had 10 years worth of suspicions about this forum and it's detrimental effect upon everyone's ability to not become a Fussy Borgling.

I can think of one problem.. bombing from altitude where you can't see friendly icons...

"I just dropped on an enemy town how the F am I supposed to know there's friendlies parked in it?"


Yup, I wouldn't change the way it is. It seems the least worst way.
