Two sets of buffs hit nmy AAA strat. 1st set (mossies, fast sons'a'guns) rtbed after drop, I stuck around to strafe a few more factories down. No uppers. Together we buffs got AAA down to 28%; before the mossies could land--maybe 30min?--nmy AAA was 92%, and 100% 9 minutes later.
Kudos to nmy for realizing the 3:20 min resup time was ridiculous and well worth a quick strat resup mission. But as a result, during prime time I will now bomb and bail strats on this map. No other way to take advantage of the damage it took me the better part of an hour to create. Apologies in advance.

Maybe you should try investing the time in FIGHTING someone instead of being disappointed in bomb static buildings.

Apology for "bomb and bail" NOT accepted.  Sorry that is just how I feel about it. Like Fugitive said try fighting someone and give the poor defenseless buildings a break.

Why should somebody sacrifice what they consider fun, to convert to your version of fun even if they don't have any fun with what you consider fun? The great thing about MMOs, is that people can do whatever the hell they want.

Bomb and bail. Furball. I could care less. But I refuse to let anyone tell me how I should enjoy the game.

One person running sups did not get that Strat back up that fast.  If 2 or 3 guys want to run sups to undo what you did why cant they be allowed the fun of that? Why is bombing more important than supping?  If the Strat is that important to both sides keep going back.

Because bombing and bailing is LAME.

Bombing and bailing is no lamer than landing your kills. In doing so you deny someone their right to shoot you down. Even if you are out of ammo and gas, you should fly around until shot down for the fun it provides to your fellow combatants.

So if every fighter you encountered bailed on sight of you or as soon as they lost the advantage, that would be swell?

Interesting point of view.
