karnak nobody said that everyone would prefer they be removed.

I've said that. The reason I've said so have been posted in several threads.

Again as I explained in another thread and others have as well. My claim that most people like to furball over field capture, buffing etc is based on observation of how folks fly in the ma.

you can verify this by going into the main and look at what the majority of folks are doing. I have then concluded that bombers(minority) are in direct contrast to the type of gameplay that the majority of folks in the ma engage in.

All this was in response to a question posed by a buff pilot.

I dont know why in that thread you mis-defined the argument or why you start a thread here that repeats it.

Nobody but myself has called for buffs to be removed. And regardles of this poll you and I both know they wont be.

I'll repeat the answer given over and over and over.

The way buffs are currently portrayed in ah a single buff has far to great an impact on the type of play most folks in the main partake of

a more accurate poll would be to ask folks if they agree or disagree with that statement.

It was never question of anyone speaking for anybody or buff gun lethality or plane toughness or anything else.

Wotan,

Sorry to pop you're bubble, but this is pretty much directed at Laz.  He has called for bombers to be removed and he has also repeatedly stated that most players would rather they weren't in the game.

There was no data on his claim so I decided to try to get some.  The results of this and the informal poll I did online are the same.

Contrary to Laz's claims, very, very few people would prefer that the bombers were not in AH.

Keep em. Fly what you like.

Bombers.....errmmmm....bomber s...<scratches head>....ah, you mean those artworks near relatives to sputniks in terms of ceiling, near relatives to Ta-152 in terms of manouvrability, near relatives to Enterprise (not the boat  ;)) in terms of firepower?......ban, destroy, get rid, forbid, anihilate, deny them. We do not have such thing as a bomber modelled in AH, do we?

With regards to the question, of course yes, I would like to see bombers in this game. Lots of them, if possible. Buff riding is one of the most exciting experience in combat simulation. A successful Buff mission is as rewarding as a 9 kill streak in a Macci C.202. As far as I can tell, at least.

Cheers,

Pepe

Keep the buffs in the CT.
If possible, fix the alt & unmanned guns issues, lower precision, increase bomb blast, then add new buffs...

Do whatever you want in the Main 'Furballomatic' Arena...(Flame suit on    :p )

Oh then I mis read "numerous accusations". I took that to mean numerous people.

I also went back and reread most of the buff threads and haven't seen where lazs has claimed that most want buffs out of AH. I'll let him cut paste/argue his point. But as a matter of fact I did read where lazs stated he is speaking for no one but himself and that any claim he made much like myself is based on observation. Maybe I missed it somewhere.

You can understand though that the post you made in lepauls thread was of the same theme as this one, of course with out the poll.
It appeared to me that it was answered there by lazs aswell as myself.

I have read where Apache, laz and I have used the term "ruined" the fighter jock/majorities fun. So you can understand that when that particular phrase was reused in this post as long as "numerous accusations" I took that to imply to multiple persons.

Gie been away from AH about 5 days now but dont get your hopes up ,, I'll be back  :)

Once upon a time I'd have wondered how someone could transform a clear discussion (well clear for some. Lepaul and Texace were definately confused) asking HTC to make bombardiering more realistic, into a simple black-or-white-only poll of "keep 'em or remove them."   But not these days.
