Don't those K/D include bomber pilots who were pinged by someone then bail or do something dumb later?  (Not every bomber pilot bothers to fly all the way home.)

Last tour,

B17 k/d .43
B24 k/d .32
TU2 k/d .30
Lancs k/d .23

Doesn't look like any buff is all that lethal.
nice one Fugi :cheers:

I think most of us who have been around awhile can agree buffs are fine right where they are.

Multiply by 3. A bomber pilot that does not land is 3 deaths.

Then take into account the huge number of deaths that are due to suicides and bomb&bails.

Then consider that bombers have a large population of noobs that will hold a K/D well below 1 if you put them in a Fighter.  A noob in a bomber stands a chance to hurt a veteran player, while a noob in a Fighter stands next to no chance and takes a lot less ammo to kill.

The aove stats say that bombers are equal to fighters in player vs player sent to the tower.

My only problem with Buff's lethal blow is flying and shooting from F3.  I don't mind the using the F3 view, just not flying or shooting from F3.
