planes being main-gunned by tanks

[Lusche]

Did GV's hide in WW2?

Did they hide in the Battle of the Bulge?

What happened when the cloud cover went away?

Did pilots die permanently in WW2?

Unless maybe all the people circling a GV spawn with bombs takes them away from furballing could be considered one example.

If there were really so many circling with bombs, there would be fighters waiting to kill them. There aren't.

Hunting GV's from the air is a currently fool's errand, so very few players spend the time doing it.

The extensive hiding of GV is already a really bad thing. It will only get worse if you make moving vehicles even more visible while not touching the stationary ones.

Restoring pre-Storch GV icon rules would help solve this problem.

They respawned and had to go through an 18 year tutorial...

I told you this once before when we had a discussion about this very topic on discord.

bring yourself  out there in a tank and see how many planes start circling.

a good number of these players " Kills " is gv kills. KONG for one example, try hiding from that dude in a tank.

And theres no fighters to kill the circling bomb****s because they are to busy hiding in the ack.

You still miss my point when you are talking about a few select players who are good at hunting GV's from the air. It's takes hours of time and practice to even be competent at it.

I want things reverted to when an inexperienced GV hunter has a chance to get a kill. Even if they don't succeed they will feel that they were close enough to make another sortie worth their while. As it is now, they are hopeless and they learn very quickly not to bother.

Why don't you come find out then.

I'm telling you that what your saying is incorrect about the amount of players bomb****ing. The only way you could know this is to come find out. Until you do that you look like a out of touch politician.

I'm willing to grant you that there's probably more GV hunters than I think when it comes to defending a town and guys are hovering over it looking for GV's. But how often do you see anyone fly to a different base/spawn to hunt GV's? This used to be common. I used to fly to the spawn between V bases and was rarely wanting for low air targets to bounce.

[RichardDarkwood]

So then maybe you start a group of people looking for the GV bomb****s. People hide in the trees so the bomb****s dont get them.

I love how the "answer" seems to always be "well change your style of play!" Fighters have to become bombt**ds, GVs arent allowed to hide and so on and so on. Well many play this game the way they do because it is why they came here in the first place. Some guys only want to fly ponies, others only want to pop other GV from a great hiding spot time after time. Others want to roll base after base to win the map, 22 vs 2 vs 2 is a perfect setup of them and they love it.

Telling these players to change how they play does only one thing..... It makes more and more players sign off, many for the last time. The only thing that will save this game is for there to be more players. The fighters will have enough people to fight, the GVers will have enough players to lay in wait for and the base grabbers/win the war guys will have enough to grab bases and NOT interfere much with the other players doing there own thing.

I hope HTC works out a way to either drop the price to bring in more players, or give away half dozen planes for free in the MA to play WITH the subscribers.

Hooray for the tank that main guns a plane...it's about all the defense the tank has except for the machine gun.  If you get main gunned, tell the tank player "good shot you SOB" and laugh it off.   Get a brand new plane that is free loaded with eggs and go bomb him...sheesh.

You guys do realise that the OP has not chimed in at all.
Yet here you all are just "blah blah". 🤣
