How many guys in here enjoy bombing? I dont mean base grabbing type, we all do that, but I mean planning a run on radar or something? Missions that include escorts and trying to make it to target and back?
Anytime someone wants to do this please give a shout, most times Im up for it, unless the fishin is good.

LOL, you know me, FiLtH.... used to love your Rolling Thunder events in AW, and I'm now back into enjoying bombing again here since the latest change to the bombsight calibration method. :)

Not something I do in the MA often but I enjoy the challenge of the bombing missions in the FSOs. Its a nice change of pace.

Escorted 8th airforce style play is fun in either fighter or bomber role - for both offense or defense. The fun is in the trip more than the destination. You have to be in the mood for it though (and you have to be the sort that plays well with others).

Me. Which country you fly for?

I'm afraid our formations will simply cross in the sky...I'm Knit.:)

I love high alt bombing 18k-30k. Aint worth taking one up unless you get that high in my opinion. Thing is alot of folks dont have that much time. I just clean house and stuff and check back until I find myself in an area I want to bomb.

Hi Filth
I love bomber missions. I fly with the Flying Tigers when I am on just check for DHawk, I like high altitude mission above 20k . If you setup a mission and I am on I will try to make it unless I am on a bomb run myself. Perfer stat targets over bases but will hit either. Normal on after 9PM est.
Hi Flo was =DRK= in AW flew for the HG;s in FR and the Iron Eagles in RR. Most of the old Hg squad from AW are now flying in Fighter Aces.

We do it once a week at least. Mostly about 10-20 bombers with 3-4 fighter escorts. Sometimes we get another entire squad to escort us.

i`d be a tail gunner for you,:)

I'd actually like to see more of the organized bombing missions. People flying correct formations for the targets and having a bunch of little birds escorting them. I tend to fly escort missions here and there for bomber groups. It's a very intense moment when the cons start gathering to take the bombers out.
Seems like all of a sudden it's mass chaos with cons attacking the buffs and little birds in hot pursuit to deny them of getting a kill. It's pretty exciting to try and fend off attacks. Hopefully with TOD we'll see more of these organized raids with organized intercept missions.

I love high alt bombing but I'm a bish so I probably will end up bombing your stuff as much as your NMY's :) sorry
-
Ya Cobra, just 1 of those a night would appease me. Like if at 9pm et everynight, everyone jumped in buffs,escorts,and interceptors and each night the roles rotated,giving one team a night free from it every third night.

Right here, FiLtH lol :lol I fly either as Flossy (Kraits) for Bishops or SKFlossy (SkyKnights) for Rooks. :)
Must admit I haven't played as much recently as I do spend a lot of time in Second Life (http://secondlife.com/). :D

Or Somthing? That's the point there has never been any decent strategic targets for buffs to hit and make any impact. Let alone the effort of organising a mission with escorts.
Why bother when you can just up the same flight over and over and dive bomb CV"s all day.
Since 1.10 it was rare to see a buff above the wind layer let alone organised missions as well.

use to do it all the time, now i dont have much time, and since the bombsite is in easy mode there really isnt much to do...

I know that the target selection is limited to a radar facility, and its a long flight. But a bases's town could be the target as well, as well as multiple towns. The fun part about missions is how well its planned and executed. Being assigned "that" hanger, or that side of the city. Doing your part.
Getting there is 7/8 the fun. I like to meet in the tower, and assign guys to things to hit, and knowing they know their part of the plan. It just separates the same old grind in here, from what it could be. If a certain time of day to play a certain way became routine, it could become a great addition to gameplay.
Id love to see a Perk plane factory in each country. If you destroy it, a random type perk plane would be unavailable for 1 hour.
There is more to this game that running to a base on the deck and grabbing bases, its just us to our imaginations to improve it. You dont need to have a special event, to play that way.
