Perk aircraft when loaded with heavy ordinance.......

Reward aircraft ,so perked, ( with more perks) when landing successfully in relationship to the effective use of said ordinance.

Make the price of failure significant. ( in ordinance perks)

Make the reward worth the risk. (In ordinance and bomber perks)

Hardening HQ so that it takes more than one bomber to take it out makes more sense.

I thought it took more than one now?  If so I agree with the view of hardening it..... But that does not stop the suicide element..... Hence perkage.

Why not just change the effects of a downed HQ, makes even more sense.

I think the original whine was how to keep bombers from bailing.


As far as the rest, quit whining and defend them.    Either way they are extremely easy to defend...  Me-163's are located at those bases...   for Hq defense...



I sure would hate to be out on the battlefield with you guys....    You would crying cause they have tanks shooting at you, or they are using real  bullets. :cry   You whine because you get  :ahand



Why dont you guys that are WHinning Grow a Pair of REAL Ones. Not the Digi-lings your Grandma gave you :D

But.

No! :mad:


Not even 163's can down NOE lancs before they destroy HQ.

And the whole dar bar and dot dar down just sucks.

This is totally incorrect for the most part. As shown repeatedly, on many maps HQ's are about impossible to defend against a NOE raider, which can often reach the HQ without much. Not even a Me-163 will be fast enough at HQ then

But hey, never let get facts on the way of posing off with some manly 'ballz talk'.

Sorry I wasn't thinking of NOE.   I was talking about over 20k :salute


Everytime  I have went Noe I have got nailed. Guess I don't have the techniques right for that.

With this Awacs radar , flying and formation of lancs undetected deep behind enemy lines takes skills and sure more balls than crying about it on BB.

I'm one of the offenders and I can't say it takes balls.  But it is risky to fly lancs NOE long distance over unknown terrain.
HQ is my least favorite strat to hit.

Strats are important.  I defend mine and everybody else should defend theirs in my opinion.

PS.
Those who fail to defend bases close to their cities can expect me and others to roll tanks through the city.

If the city is at or near zero, you can expect the HQ to be next.

This is a video game.  Balls rarely if ever factor in.

I'm trying to think of something I've ever done that took balls in game and the best I can come up with are the times I was burning bomber perks by flying NOE B29 formations with CHewie missions.

I will say that maybe we can hope that some of this will be changed with new update.

A thought I had for bailing bombers if there bombs hit HQ they get a additional 20 perks for landing.   Also this will premote more bombers and less bailing... Folks like snaiman and Zoney will have a lot more business .    It will pay off for someone to actually guard the strats

I would like to add that if I see a red darbar responding I do stay in the air.  If I see no response I'm not one to fly several sectors just to land my name.
