Bombing and bailing becomming more popular.

I think people don't feel their time is worth it heading home to land. That might be the biggest problem.

[Zoney]

I am pretty sure we will if things keep progressing in future.

If the "we" includes me then no, "we" won't in the future.

I haven't had a bomber bail on me all year...

This whole thread is troll bait....

People complain about vulching, hoing, picking, running and etc because they don't fit the most ideal situation of fairness. As long as people's desire for fairness exists, complaints about differing behaviour will arise. This bombing and bailing doesn't fit in with the intercepting scheme of things.

I could do this and become (in)famous? 

In order to do that you'd have to reinstate your account....so does that mean your thinking of coming back to us, o' prodigal son.

What would be accomplished from recording it?

Naming and shaming, it really gets to them as well. I had one (TKO I think) threaten me after seeing the post on the BBS    - made my day.

Shouldn't have.

I really don't think it's a matter of being worried about personal score or avoiding combat, I just don't think people want to fly an additional 20-40 minutes after dropping their load.

I don't know how you combat this.  Maybe HTC could code it so if you bail from or lawndart a bomber without battle damage the previous sortie isn't scored and you will not receive any perks.  Maybe your penalized and have perks deducted? 

Problem with that is it does nothing to deter people that don't care about score, and/or have so many perks it doesn't matter.  How about this?  Bail out of or intentionally crash an undamaged aircraft (in enemy territory), a 60 minute 25 ENY restriction is placed on the player for all aircraft and vehicles?

Nice idea, but how do you determine intent?  How do you avoid punishing the incompetent?

Imagine if players had to bail out for every position on a plane/flight. That'd be 30 bailouts a B-17 flight. Imagine if end flight/suicide from a chute was disabled. Just went from 3 targets to 30.

You're right, we shouldn't do that.   I need my 50 perks last night when I took off an AR234 without RATOs from a high alt base fully loaded and crashed shortly after takeoff.  The game shouldn't punish me for being dumb!

Single player: Mr. Hitech here's your $14.95 so I can have access to your game that I can do anything I want for my $14.95 as stipulated in the terms of the contract agreement.

Never happy Nanny Players: Hitech we demand you smash that player's big toe with a 10lb sledge hammer to show him we are the boss of your game because he is not breaking any of your rules!! We just don't like how he is playing by your rules. Our $14.95 is better than his $14.95, you can see that can't you?????

Guess they are paying Hitech in 99.99% pure gold one full year at a time with a case of Cragganmore as a sweeter at Christmas. Kind of makes everyone else's measly $14.95 credit card transfer look pale.....

Code it so if you bail or crash an undamaged aircraft outside out a friendly radar ring the ENY penalty takes place.
