Punish bailers

[Wiley]

I want every kill on me to be earned, that's why.

Then RTB.

Don't need to.  HTC's rules seem to agree.

And why does it matter to you that the bailer gets a death? 

[Zoney]

Unless your plane is so damaged that it is not possible to RTB, the game should be programmed to encourage players to get their plane home.  Anything else is just gamey.  There are now systems in place that do encourage folks to complete their mission which includes RTB'n and landing safely on the runway.  You get more perkies if you do.  This discussion looks to be thoughts from players about raising the incentive to do just that.  If rewarding the kill to the nearest enemy cause players to more likely RTB, then it would have the desired effect.

Maybe this subject would be less contentious if it were labeled as "Reward players for RTB'n and landing safely".

I can understand that people bail after bombing strats, it can be a very long flight home and people wants to do more fun stuff instead. But i dont get why people are so afraid of being intercepted, that's part of the fun with flying bombers and in heavies like the B-17 its rare to loose all 3 planes without getting any kills. A decent bomber pilot can easily get a 1:1 k/d ratio in a B-17 and a really good bomber pilot, like Havermyr, can get a 2:1 k/d ratio so bombers are by no mean free kills if the bomber pilots decides to fight for it..

You sure HTC's rules agree with that?  If you're bailing in enemy territory you already get captured.  You can bail, but you lose out on style points for landing, why shouldn't it count as a death?

Because it's the same as if every plane that came into icon range of you saw you and bailed.  It's cheesy, I may as well get the kill for it.  My presence caused him to destroy his plane.

If we are going to punish players then I think any player that lifts and then circles in ack or runs to ack should have a timer pop up for the entire time they are in the ack. At the end of their sortie that total is deducted from their total perk points for whatever mode they upped their plane or gv in. Let the whining commence!

How would that do any good? It would just lead to more man acks and wirbs instead of people upping fighters since they no longer can use the base ack for protection against the horde....

Once the punishments start, how many subscriptions do you gents project will walk out the door with the punishments?

Awarding proxy kills to the guy in vis range:

Subscribers Lost - 0

In case the sarcasm was missed I was being extremely sarcastic. Punishing people you bail is not an intelligent option

This question has been brought up more than once I think---and I may have said this then--a player pays to play this game his/her way. making a player play your way is not a good idea. if a fighter extends and bails before you get close enough for you to kill him/her or a player ditch's before you finish them off, should they be penalized, I think not, so why should a player get punished for bailing their bombers, sure a lot of fighter pilots get ticked, climbing to 25-30k too engage bombers and they bail BP's prerogative. if you haven't noticed a lot of the new players like to fly bombers first, if you want to lose Players, go ahead and set some kind of punishment. just remember  AH3 is pay to play.

a player--fighter pilot  bomber pilot or gv'er still get's point's if they did damage, maybe not as may as if they landed they just don't get their name in lights-some people do some don't.. even if they get shot down if they did damage they still get points.

it doesn't bother me nor do I care if a bomber pilot bails. and I'm going to say it again: A PLAYER PAYS TO PLAY.


sorry haggerty my thoughts.

You know............if you bail in vis range the other guy should get a kill.

SIMPLE!

This is how it was done IRL, btw, as well as in Brand X.  Nobody complained.

If I am chasing some BUFF driver three sectors and he bails at 2.6K so I CAN'T get a kill..............that's okay?  But if I get a kill when he does that you are saying that (is wrong and) will chase away players?

Aye aye aye guys, come on.

If you bail because you see me coming that's NOT a kill?  WTFO?

Keep in mind if it was one buff and not "3 kills", would you still chase'em "3 sectors"?  ... ... . .. .. Guys guys guys, I have solution!  Would each country kindly place the following sign at their HQ?

[DubiousKB]

Where exactly is each country's safe space for when other players make them feel bad....

I should go there as other players HO'd me. OH and some b17's last night shoulda felt my wrath, but I crashed into them due to latency, bad joystick, poor SA, a hangnail, and most importantly, because HTC and Skuzzy don't like Canadian syrup.... 

Griefers gonna Grief. (we actually have it pretty good in our game environment for that particular set of "new-age" skillz in gaming)
