Why having the option to bail at all? Why does it matter if u go down with the plane or not?
Only advantage w being able to bail is that u can run to the MR and kill a few troops but its no loss for most players if we werent able to do it.

it will if the bomber receives no points or rewards for failing to RTB.

same for the fighter that refused to attack a bomber within icon range.

NEVER bail out over the town you just bombed...

I agree.  There should be a consequence or at least award the kill if within icon range IMHO

What's worse than bomb and bail? When you have 29 ENY and can't get an effective plane for B17s up to them at 35k.

Not sure how HTC can tell the difference between a pilot nosediving into the ground or a pilot flying NOE that clips a tree?

I do. Would be willing to tell Hitech directly.

oh, I liked the original reply MUCH better   :t

Lol..I liked it too but since some have concern about the volume of players I thought a positive solution might keep players from pork-n-bailing and keep players on as paying customers.

Right now it's euro primetime. Very scarce action with barely 100 players all over a huge map. So against better knowledge I up for that darbar inbound our city. Right as I get coalt with the B17s at 34K he bails.

More and more I have the feeling I'm just wasting my time here.

I don't understand why people would rather bail than just fight it out.  I just can't wrap my mind around it. It's not like you can't up a new plane(which you would have to do anyway if you bail), or have to pay more money that month, or anything else.  If anything, I prefer the action... makes it more exciting.

This particular one wasn't bailing just to avoid the fight, he was bailing because he had bombed the target and didn't want to spend the time flying home. 'Efficiency', you know.
Besides, a B-17 at 34k+ has pretty good chances to keep a single fighter at bay long enough to make it home with at least 1 bomber.

Although it may have limited value, I apologize that this happened to you, I would hate to see you leave this game sir.

If you don't get any points or perks when getting killed, player will be much less willing to take any risks at all. I don't you'd like the impact of that on gameplay...

This maybe a minor factor, but I don't think that Buffs get any points for killing fighters.

There you go.  There is no "kills" section in Bomber rankings.  Do you get perks for buff kills?
