Reward bombers for landing

[RichardDarkwood]

I quite often die to bombers that don't bail.   The beef is that the game we are paying to play has treatable cancer.

So if you got a couple pings and then they bailed giving you the kills would be ok?

If they bail before dropping then your interceptor mission has been accomplished.  If they bail after dropping you've failed even if you shoot them down. I believe they upped the proxy range a while back to mitigate the issue.

Just negate the flight when they bail. Points and all.

Why don't you just ask HT to disable the bail out function universally? Wouldn't that be easier? There's always 'bomb and auger.'

If you land the damage, the damage you did stays damaged longer. That’d be cool.

And if you get shot down after destroying 60 objects? Players will see that as a broken 'solution.'

Then it stays down to current timer if you die...

That's only the case if you care about the ground war.

I play for the sole purpose of shooting down other airplanes. The only time I care whether I can kill a bomber before or after he drops his bombs is if he's bombing a CV, in which case it would prevent me from taking fighter from that CV my next sortie.

Players who see the difference will perceive it as 'half timer' if they are shot down and wonder why they're being punished for not bailing. More problem than 'solution' there.

That's right, I'm a fighter pilot. I'll shoot anything with wings. I'm not picky.

Well that’s true if the player base is substantially comprised of idiots that aren’t educated in the nature of the rules. It’s a small enough community that players are capable of learning the rules and to be incentivized to RTB bombers, which makes the game more interesting and realistic.

Well, at least you appear to not have a fixation over bomber-players that bail. That's sumpin'.
