Gaming the game... a new episode

Yeah, I'm all for outlawing b17s that high, as long as we can include it for the 109s, p38s, p51s, f4us floating around 35k.  

Seriously, I'm not half as frustrated by a high b17 as I am by a fighter circling 10k above you, but ends up leaving because it never appeared good enough advantage to engage.  In neither case does it do any good to go spouting about it, there's no reason the other pilot should not do what they want to do.

HTC has adjusted the bombsights once, they probably will again, in the meantime relax, and take comfort in the knowledge that radar'll come back, I promise it will.

I know exactly how you mean Fatty.  I had a F4UC hanging 2k back for ages and it only attacked when two of his F4UC (yes, more!) buddies turned up!  As if he didn't have any advantage with those guns!  That incident really peeved me off!

Hiya Bee,

Hope the thesis coming along nice.  NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE.  Like I said we all get frustated at times and forget that we are playing with people that would party with if we can all get toghter and have a good time   including those I kill and die by

I was on a mission against the bish dar and got shot down at less then 20k. Is that clear. One plane did us in. We slogged at that hq. it took several raids.

Comparing that to an unaposble stratosdweeb atack in mass with field 1 and total numerical superioroity is silly. I dont expect you to see that but as someone who participated it was no cake walk. And it was more fun and interesting for both sides.


Yer missing the point.  Yes Im sure there have been sorties you've flown in in which this happened.  The instance Im referring to, there was NO defense other than me.  Bee and his cronies did me without even breaking a sweat.  They were able to kill dar since Bish had about somewhere around 15 people on and were getting hit by 50 Knights and Rooks.  Bish fields were being taken left and right and we had our hands full just defending what we had left.

My point is that escorted buff raids against a gangbanged country are just as unstoppable as stratospheric buffs.  

For the sake of the matter, I dont particularly care for either.
