Who's given up on buffing?

I am going to guess not unlike my method for refueling/relaunching a P-38 from a carrier

Im still using bombers although its not as much fun as it was.

more frustration and a distinct feeling of not causing any 'affect' on the game is more common.

I really like the bombing being harder and i am getting much better but its unpredictable.This causes the frustrating problem of feeling cheated when you do the same things over and over but have some wild results.

Also i have a major problem with the ease with which you lose all 3 bombers in attacks which used to just about shoot down your single bomber.Is this a bug or design?

if its a bug fair enough but if its design then I think it really sucks.

Please dont make 'adjustments' to durability just because there are 3 planes instead of one.Otherwise whats the point in having 3 bombers?

Toughen them back up please and make wingmen ai guns less acurate or something to balance it out.I can accept poor shooting from the ai planes but i cant accept this dumb balloon popping durability model.

Congratulations, I flew bombers before... first time up I could hit whatever I wanted to but just salvoing a bomb or 3, reducing throttle and drop on target with pin point accuracy from 30K. Easy mode? Very much so. Now it takes a bit of mastering the technique, and everyone who thought they were good because they could drop anything by a mere point and click, are on the UBB complaining.

have you considered that peoples hardware (ie joysticks) have an adverse affect on their bombing? My joystick (saitek) just doesnt want to track smoothly when im marking but im damned if im going to buy a new stick just because one single element of AH doesnt work too good.
I think youre being a bit ignorent to consider everyone whos having trouble is incapable of grasping the concepts involved in the bombing routine.It is quite simple but for me every now and then i have results that just dont make sense.Im beginning to think it is the tracking which is my problem.
If HTC let me use a mouse to traack it would make my time a lot less frustrating.

I have a Saitek too, either get stiffer springs or adjust the damping to give a slower response time.

If it is indeed the tracking system, then maybe tacking measures so YOU don't have problems anymore would make more sense than going back to the older version when there's several other people out there who do not have problems.
