id like to try a little theory,but need some volunteers.
as you all know 999000 and myself fly low basicaly to gun but bomb also
here is something id like to try and its going to take help from all sides
id like to get a group of people together lets say 10 sets of buffs maybe(with gunners if possible)then i would like to announce it on 200,say were we are headed and have as many that would like to attack to do it.i wanna do this for numerous reasons 1)cause it would be cool2)to see how many would make it 3)to proove a point! if any one would like to try it respond here and we could set it up this weekend,we currantly are knights but can switch at any time
if its a bad idea and sorry for the terrible read .

Im in!
PS..when we do little events in the AvA, thats pretty much what we do. Both sides know whats going on, and the emphasis is on the battle, nothing else.
An example would be a bomb run. We dont try to sneak in, we let everyone know what the target is and keep the sides even. We have a lot of good players in here that make it work.
Let me know when!

3) Whats the point you want to prove?

i think they just want to have fun bugs.....aint that allowed?

Read again. #3 said he wants to prove a point, so I figured I'd ask. Is that allowed? Please let me know because I would not want to upset you with my posts in the future :lol
-
My guess would be that a close formation of buffs that are well gunned, can penetrate thru to target at low altitude providing the sides arent too out of whack.
-
sounds interesting... do let me know if you get it set up. If no conflict with BOB I'm in... as an enemy :D
-
During virtual combat, they will not keep their formations. Even if all the bombers have gunners, the pilots will tend to want to gun as well and therefore, not stay in their spot of the formation.
The bombers will not survive. I've done it with my squaddies, and we kick arse as long as they come attack us in 1 or 2 planes at a time. Anymore than 3 and it gets difficult. Stay high and that will give you a better chance of defending yourself.
-
And with that many bombers in one small space, launching air to air rockets should be a snap too...

Bugs,Filth is right on the point although,there is a fine point to it but that will be a post after the affect,
im not sure when all the bob and ava are i am usualy on late after wife ack and kids are in bed any preference on times im in the eastern time zone
Kermit,you are probaly correct but i think some may survive if it is well planned.just my opinion but i have been working on some things with angle attacks and such that will be of value i think might be the only thing i can give to the community on my end but it might make people enjoy gunning buffs and or attacking them a little more
will work on date times etc.
-
BOB is usually over after 5 central standard time. I'd recommend for maximum participation sometime Saturday night because it conflicts with no events and most of the interesting football games will be over :)
-
I would love to attack and kill you all. Can you do this Friday night? :D
-
might interfere with FSO's for some people that would participate and give it the attention it deserves.
I think it's an interesting theory esp if the bombers all have gunners.. Sure to be good film fodder

My old squad, the Oddcaf/ Karaya/Uknome/47Ronin, did a Ploesti re-enactment one night on the large pac map (with the gv fights in the middle)--- takeoff point to first target (refinery, somethin like that) was about 6 sectors, NOE, about 12 sets B24's---made a Cv flash about 2/3 the way to first target--(Ghi apparently saw it)--- We popped up at the first target/refinery to about 2k, dropped 500 pounders, then split into 2 groups, went east and west, each group to hit one other strat-type target, again NOE--by this time, GHI and a few buds were after us, and it was a running fight for the next 5 sectors back to nearest friendly base--(we had to go around a big island that housed one of their bases) We shot all of them down at least once, as they were having a bad time getting out in front and doing a proper attack--(even WITH a proper attack, deck buffs present a more difficult target, as you cant pass below, gives you less room to avoid the hail of '50s). Were killing one fighter after another after another, and more of B24's were getting shot down--One of our cv's was about one sector from the landing spot, and some of the dead guys upped in fighters to escort back the survivors. who were all about out of ammo..oil, aluminum, etc. Managed to get maybe 2-3 guys of the original 12 back to base---was the coolest experience I've had in 6-7 years of AH (oh yah...I got 1 plane back..2 engines, no gear--landed 8 kills:) )

Bah, dont wory about that. Just stop trying to play the BBS ethics police man. It was a simple question (not directed at you). I don't see why you had a problem with it.

Maybe some "read" into your replies for what they are. Yours being the only reply that didn't foresee what tater's point might be. No reply in the la7 thread huh? All mouth and much of that is not believable at best! Maybe you need more vitamin A, Wabbit!:aok

You can sign me up as a buff driver - most of the time I like to fight my way in at 5K so I can be sure that every bomb hits its target ;) Let me know when & where and I'll be there :aok

Yep, tater did and he gave me an answer. Bat, was just being himself. I'd be surprised if he did not say anything. :lol

i didnt have a problem, just mistook the situation. i dont think i showed any personal offence or personal attack. if i see anything (misread or otherwise) that makes me feel like replying then i usualy do. saying im ethics police is silly cos i dont have any power over what others say or do......yet, the mind probe control pad is under developement. :t

Not if it were to employ the views of some of the BK's in that if it ain't a fair fighter on fighter fight, it ain't good and shouldn't be allowed. ROFLOL!
All the Best...

PS.. It really sounds interesting

On my computer even one formation of buffs stutters. I'd hate to see what 12 would do to framerates.
-
When Kazaa used to do some BFM's (Big ***** mission) as knights some months back
think we used to get about 20 guys in b24's and yea it killed FR's to teen figures for me. 20 ppl + 40 drones 60 buffs in the same vicinity.
Add about -5-10 fighter escorts. Was great fun smashing about 3 different bases shooting down any enemy fighters that dared engage.
You could sense the location of the group when your FR's took a hit like a storm brewing lol

I'm sorry but this would constitute a "horde" coming to attack you and those are not good things to have in any arena these days.
Sorry.
-
Boy, are all you 'mega-squad' guys this thin-skinned? LCA was like that too, as I recall
-
They used to be this vocal, too. ;)
-
Yeah, what happened to the LCA anyway? I thought they were going to revolutionise AH with their new and cutting edge mishun technology?
-
They did...we have a new arena format now ;)

You really are becoming an "ankle humper" extraordinaire ... you must have something else in life more important than trying to ding the BKs in every thread you read ... then again ... maybe not.

yes it would kill fr to death,yes it nwould send the horde to us,but thats the point if you read up earlier i have been working on some things id like to try.
anyway if history is correct wasnt buffs attacked in hordes aka squadrons??/ JUST 1 FIGHTER HITTING AT A TIME DOESNT WORK AS MANY KNOW POINT IS ID LIKE TO SEE IF THE THEORY I HAVE WORKS
PROBLEM IS IM HAVING HOME CONNECTION ISSUES AS OF NOW SO I DONT WANT TO SET THIS UP UNTIL I THOSE RESOLVED

-
If Savvis isn't losing all my packets when you do this, I'd like to reserve a Deathstar spot.
-
noted,slot saved you wanna be the lead:D or middle of pack,
biggest question do we have everyone have gunners or only people who want to gun,either way works i would think alot would prefer to gun them selves what else do we need to add to this
-
Hmmm, now where did I put that 110g?
