Bomb and Bail Stats

[Slade]

Within a 15 minute period today I had multiple bombers bail on me before I could get to them.  Not such a bad thing unless you take the time to climb up to them at 30k.  They bailed before I could get in range for even a proxy.  This is a recurring event of course.

Is there a stat that shows which bomber pilots bail the most?

I would say no, u cannot draw any conclusions from the stats about that.

Respectfully, I did not ask that.

I asked, "Is there a stat that shows which bomber pilots bail the most?"

Thanks 

[Zimme83]

And I gave u an answer to your question.

U can of course check out individual pilots stats but even that would not say much since u dont see why they bail.

ive said this before ill say it again...

My time is too valuable to fly back after hitting a strat if no one ups to defend it.

To bail when someone takes the time to challenge you is the ultimate disgrace.

Then again when I up buffs for a target in this game I want to be challenged so if no challenge is met then im bailing after my drop. I will use the time it took to fly back to hit something else. If anyone disagrees then up 2 fighters and try to stop me. If i get at least 2 kills i am forced to fly back and land.

Primary goal is to fly back and land the bombers but on the big map its very hard to do it, some strats is out of range so the run is a one way mission. If there are any uppers i try to fight them if there are only crickets i ditch or bail. (or flying around trying to get anyone to up and eventually kill me.

When in B-17:s and similar planes there are no reason to bail if meeting resistance. Even an average gunner have a good chance to save atleast 1-2 if his planes.

When I think I don't have the time to fly to a specific target and back, then I chose another one. My time windows being quite short for the most part these days, so I do much more tactical or short range strat runs.

I don't think I have seen any strat target so far that I could not reach and go home. Back in the day when the central strats were still retreating and I had more time, I did quite a few very long range runs. B-29 under cruise speed can fly amazing distances, but Lancs or B-17s can get a great mileag, too.

The Wall of Shame would be formidable, indeed.

B-29:s can reach all strats and prob lancs too, problem is that its very hard to survive flying up to 10 sectors over enemy territory before reaching the target. On compello I have tried to fly 4.5 hours for a single strat run and often u dont have the time so the result is a one way trip. While possible to make it both ways it can require 1-2 hours over enemy territory and very few players will take the time to do it.

Never once have I seen bomb and bail first hand.

[Drane]

Bomb and bail has happened to me many times. Some players bail just to grieve the pursuers. This can be frustrating especially after chasing them several sectors. These players will bail whether or not they've dropped their bombs.

One player even said "no perks for you son" when I called him out (more than once) after viewing the film (his initials are IV).

Now I just accept it as part of the lame game and am a bit more reluctant to chase them.

I do, however, salute all you players who fight in your bombers and thank you for making this game more fun.

Then pick a closer target, Don't bomb and bail.


You should lose perks for bombing and bailing. You get no perks from what you hit and lose ten perks. Then ten perks goes to twenty the next time you do it, Do it again and it will cost you 30 perks.

If people start doing NOE just so ack kills them, Make it so they lose perks.

I rarely bother to rtb in a fighter. It's got to be doubly boring for bomber players.

I dont do strat runs thst way, i hit the factories that is vital, AAA and ammo primary. Hitting refinerey instead just because its closer is pointless.

Bailing to avoid a fight is lame no matter what you are in.

GVs do it too. One is flashing a field, I find them, they bail once I start my Stuka run. This gives a proxy, but I wouldn't have bothered of I knew they would do that. Same with chasing bombers.
