Welcome to the club
Am0n, you should really be aware of poor buff flyers. Nobody would really fly them unless that minimal gameplay concessions are set. You have to realize that being such a necessary asset to AH, it must be made interesting so any no-skill AH wannabe has a chance to make kills at no risk. Everyone knows that people come to AH for his gameplay, none of us like relistic modelling. Why ask for an escort? Everyone knows too that this is an impossible task in MA. What the heck, we better get rid of that.
Realistic behaviour, close to reality models, careful aerodinamyc effects, gun effectiveness, bombsite, etc., etc., etc., etc (ad nauseam), are nuisances that buff jocks can joyfully forget, at the expense of fighters.
Dang, every one not totally green in here knows that Buff pilots are most endangered spice, and any effort is for good if someone decides to fly it, no matter if that's at 35k+ alt. Get off your dweeb machines, Ta152, P47, P38, G-10 Pilots!
Come fly the fun machines. Forget bombsight, forget level flight, forget planning any route eithere ingressing or eggressing, forget looking at the map, forget bringing more than a single buff to have a chance to make any damage, forget historic (or realistic) alts.....welcome to last generation bomb computers, laser target designation, fire-and-forget missiles, jinking your way in, your way out, your way around, warm in your bulletproof battleship flying no less than 30k, kill those dweebs in their fighters over 1.2k with your perfectly coordinated fire system, don't bother in telling any of your gunner comrades where the enemy is, AI will do for you, don't bother in telling the pilot to turn, you can jink yourself, don't bother in ruining your flight path, your bombsight calibration, AI will insta-recalibrate it for you, so you can so realistically pinpoint that pesky ack from your non-freezing 35k perch......ah! the risky, brave, skillfull, strategical buff pilot. Hooray to them. We, the rest of AH players would not thank them enough to have such a satisfying experience of trying to intercept such a vulnerable target. Poor whiners! Anyway, it's only their fuel and ack what is being blown out by such a coordinated, difficult, well planned, well executed airforce of
a single buff. Dang! there is alway the archetypical never-satisfied-type of guy in every game.
Am0n, let me leave you with a cheerful gift in these Xmas time. It's an advise:
QUIT YOUR WHINEING. It's obvious any point against current buff model falls inside this cathegory. Exactly with the same precission like they hit acks from 35k.

Note: This is a pre-1.09 buff model whine, and a serious attempt to break Rude's truce.
Cheers,
