sparks its kind of bad form to cross post quotes to different threads. Luckily I stumbled back into this non-sensical thread to find your reply.
So for those of you who say that me bombing something should not affect your abilty to fly with whatever fuel and ordinance you want from wherever you want when ever you want - TOUGH - thats EXACTLY why I go bomb stuff -
See told you..........
Bombers can have an impact on the game. Doing the very thing Bombers did in rl. That wasnt stopping fighters from upping by killing 2 fhs.
Thats the simple point. No one can ever point to one of my 3000+ posts and find one which was started by me whining either about bombers or any plane. Fly want you want. But dont start a stupid thread about how unappreciated bombers are.
So what so are pt drivers. I only enter the discussion to reply to the rediculous assumption that bombers should be give the gameplay concession to stop fighters and in a sense stifle fighter to fighter combat.
I dont go around destroying all the bomber hangers so you wont be able to fly, or kill all the ord so you cant bomb. But you like every other Flight sim Bomber pilot some how cant understand that the typical roll of a ww2 hvy bomber was not bombing a few structures on an airfield inorder to stop fighters. There were other plane types designed to do that. Thats the same in ah.
The problem isnt that the bomb site calibration is to hard, you just cant snipe of individual fuel tanks from 15k. The problem is there isnt large enough targets and important enough targets and dense enough targets in ah for bombers to even attempt to "simulate" their rl roll.
Stop arguing for the rediculous and argue for bombers to be given the targets they were designed to engage.
Simple as that. I have killed 100s of bombers in ah since I have been here over 2 years. Guys in my squad have gotten over 100 bomber kills a tour in several tours.
The fighters want buffs to not have an impact on their game while at the same time they wish to have an impact on the buffer's game.
Tho with the new buff model the whines about buff guns has dropped, but then again so has buff survivability +Q
If you don't want buffs to have an impact on the game, then don't shoot at em in your fighters.
Skurj the reason bombers are so easily destroyed has more to do with the lack of skill of the bomber pilot. Also the way bombers are deployed in ah guarrantees that they will be killed.
Fighters have no more an impact on bombers then they do other fighters. What impact they do have has a basis in reality. Fighters killed bombers in an attempt to stop them from bombing. Bombers never waged war on fighter hangers in rl. I am not a "realism" freak by any means but I would like to see the fighter gameplay model to reflect what the roll fighters really were. The same with attack aircraft and bombers.
I would agree that bombers are very easy to kill, so are goons, pt boats and gvs. I dont think bombers are any more important to gameplay then any of those.
But on the small maps with small fronts it never fails where at the bases where the most fun fights are a bomber pilot would come in on a suicide run kill the fhs and die. 1.10 addressed that and did a good job of it. So what if a few bomber pilots cant impact the fun of lotsa of other folks. Thats a good thing.
