Author Topic: Give Bombers More Incentive (Read 1030 times)

FTJR · « **on:** February 08, 2002, 11:11:02 PM »

I flew around for about 30 minutes yesterday, In a Lancaster, bombed a few hangars, blew away a Niki (for this alone, there should be 1000 points;) Landed, and got 1.75 points. Really think it should be more rewarding.

Killin a nik is its own reward:p

I don't really think that a fluff milkrunning a few hangers in order to spoil the fight for the real players should be rewarded.

And its this kind of shallow thinking and obnoxious rhetoric that we get to endure. If you do not play Lazs way, then you are a fluff in his book.

Go read the Help Screens, this is a STRAT GAME. Bombers blow stuff up, Fighters try to stop them from doing so, etc etc

You'd probably get a nose bleed trying to intercept my bombers since we all know the concept of climbing over 5,000 feet is foreign to you

Some day, some year, you can give us all a break from your Anti-Buff blabber.

Didn't they create a Dueling Arena per your demands? Gee, isn't it empty?

Lazs gets his historical reference from a comic book what do you expect?

"And its this kind of shallow thinking and obnoxious rhetoric that we get to endure. If you do not play Lazs way, then you are a fluff in his book. "

yes... The image of lecar heroicaly dragging a huge cross up the hill... crown of thorns biting into his head... "We" who is we?

"Go read the Help Screens, this is a STRAT GAME. Bombers blow stuff up, Fighters try to stop them from doing so, etc etc "

The "help screens" say that the fighters are there to stop the fluffs?? Twenty guys fighting should be stopped by one mouse weilding buss driver dropping lazer guided bombs onto a couple of leantoo's? Gee.... if it was so fun then I suppose that fighters would be up there waiting to shoot down a gamey unfun mostly AI aircraft instead of fighting with each other.

"You'd probably get a nose bleed trying to intercept my bombers since we all know the concept of climbing over 5,000 feet is foreign to you"

"We"? again with the we. While I will grant that the statement is about 70% accurate... for you to presume so is pompous and dishonest. You have never even seen me online.

"Some day, some year, you can give us all a break from your Anti-Buff blabber. "

Sure, no problem. Soon as they are fixed.

"Didn't they create a Dueling Arena per your demands? Gee, isn't it empty "

"they"?? "your demands"?? Who are "they" and when did I ever demand anything much less a "dueling arena"? Worse... why would "they" listen to me any more than you (besides the fact that you are never right)? I suppose that I could say that they created a CT for you to milkrun in but... I'm a little more honest than you I guess. Not that dishonesty is that big a deal... I just don't want to look as foolish as you.

I think it would be better if the buffs got a HUGE bonus if they land it.

Give them a 8X perk bonus.

Think about it, any moron can up a suicide lanc, fly it 4k above a field, drop all his bombs before he gets blown by acks. You want to reward that?

(just the same, I think fighters should get perks ONLY if they land or bail in friendly territory).

1.09 will give us bomber formations to fly in, so buffing will be more survivable... and the laser guidance will be gone, since we'll have like 3 or 4 buffs per person, dispersion will be set in. So a buff group would barely be able to nock out 1 or 2 hangars per pass.

Nice hedges, Laz. Fine, replace the WE with I as much as you want. But from past attempts to converse freely with you have resulted in the same from you, whereas you insist everyone is a furballer and feels the bombers do not belong in the game.

So there, we've removed the WE to I. Get on with the topic.

And I HAVE seen you online numerous times. But since I'm at 14k or so, you never come up to greet me.

FTJR if you check your bomber score before and after a mission you'll see that you get thousands of points. The bomber perk points are in addition to the bomber score points.

I don't know how lazs2 knows where you hit hangers or if there was a fight there but it seems reasonable to ignore him in either case.

But imagine what 4 Lancs with 14 1k eggs each can do to a base when they carpet bomb it and you know that more guys are going to squeak and whine and cry like little lost sheep when they try to shoot down a flight of buffs in a box formation.

Wow, Lazsie musta had a hard on(e) when he saw this title

I like that idea of increasing the incentive on landings... maybe we'd get a bit less suicide-HO-wheenies. good point.

Steven · « **Reply #11 on:** February 09, 2002, 12:12:32 PM »

I agree with more incentive on landings.

Tac · « **Reply #12 on:** February 09, 2002, 12:46:14 PM »

True akak, but that formation will have half or more of its bombs miss target. If you aim for the hangars.. in, say, a medium field, you would drop the eggs on where you THINK your bombs and the other buffs bombs will have the highest chance of hitting. Its in that moment that the human bombardier can either put them on target or completely mess up the bomb run by bombing the sheep grazing just outside the field.

It would be logical to assume that with buff formations, the damage each structure takes will be increased dramatically. maybe 2 or 3k to kill a hangar? If 1 pilot with 1 buff formation can have that much lead, think what 6 pilots with buff formations can do.. too unbalancing.

On the contrary, you should get all of your perk points taken away the moment you pop open the canopy to bail out like a sissy.

When I read Lazs posts they seems very unreal for me. It is like Lazs does not exists as a person, it's just ideas generator script installed at this forum, which randomly posts some ideas under a Lazs nick, but scrip is someway broken, or has only 1 idea loaded into it

NOM, really.
