Over the last few days I have been hanging out in Tank Town in me Hurri IIC. Been having a blast carrying 2 x 500's and getting in the thick of the furball down low.
It has come to my attention that 2 GV players have taken exception to me laying 500 Lb'ers on them. I would like to point out that the 2 players I bombed and who subsequently questioned my sexuality, parent hood and intimate relation with members of my own family, were not individually targeted by myself. They just happened to be there. Had our spawn been camped then they would have been my priority. With no campers about secondary target were ANY Gv's..... nothing at all personal.
So to the next part of the grief. I kill more air than Gv in tank town. Only 2 x 500's and I'm landing more than 2 x Gv kills. In fact I usually miss with the second 500Lb'er. Should I at all be diving bombing GV's in Tank Town ? You can bet your arse I should. What you won't see me doing is bombing Tank Town VH's or worse, Low level carpet bombing in heavy bombers. Had I done either of these two things I could and would expect the grief but me little old Hurri with just 2 bombs......come on !
So until bombs are taken outta tank town bases or these guys cough the 15 bucks I shell continue to dive bomb GV's and then get into the fight as and when it pleases me.
-
I fail to see an issue with using an attack plane to attack vehicles. Dropping 14k of ord out of a Lanc to kill a jeep is dumb, and poor game play. Using a 500lb bomb on a panzer is good fun.:aok
-
Well said.
bomb the lot of the little buggers..

How is low level bombing any different than divebombing jabos?
They're targets, whether they want to be or not.

ah... the paradox of ethics

Personally, I hang out at TT in both GV's and aircraft, so, I can see both arguments here... The way I look at it, lives are free and plentiful here (minus perked rides, or course). Who cares if someone bombs your panzer, when you can just hit the H key and back in the fight I go. TT is not a place to land kills, but it is meant to be an absolute cluster from the word "go."
When people bomb me in TT, I just happen to up an Osti and take care of the situation, anyway. I would expect nothing less if I were in an aircraft and I was the one doing the bombing. This game is way too much fun to start angily trash talking just because someone dropped an egg on your turret. This isn't real war, just a simulation meant for our enjoyment and the lining of HTC's pocketbook; just ask the men and women overseas right now what real war is.
<> to everyone in TT, whether it be on the ground, over the ground, or in the ground...
<---- just my $.02
-
Bombing TT is problem for campers only. Life is too short here, not big diffirence how to die - by 75 AP or 500lb.
-
I say let the bombs fly. Then maybe next time they'll up an osti and be ready for you? But then a tank will kill them and the whine will be on again.

Question
Is plinking tanks from 5k+ away to area of the spawn point, camping?
Bronk
Edit
That was worded horribly, had to fix it.

Answer
No

Taking a BF110 and bombing then straffing the GV's is one of my favorite things to do.
Gotta watch it though, some of those panzer drivers can hit you with the main gun pretty easy.

I up in TT periodically, then get bombed or shot in short order, no biggie, a shooting gallery. If you go there you have to expect it. Obviously, TT on the new map is intended to have planes with ordinance there to bomb guys. Otherwise, like that old map, just surround TT with 25k mountains, make those who want to bomb climb 30 minutes for it. (or make the adjacent fields ord free)
I think the GV's that should be bombed are especially those retiring from the field to go land their kills.
Thats what I'm going to do tonight, seek out and bomb those on their way back to land thier 40 kills, just to cause grief.
I am quiting smoking atm, and I am very angry about it. I think I will find that most satisfactory.:p
-
kill steal
Because unless you drop a bomb on that tank your not going to kill it with a 110.
You can disable it , but not kill it unless .
A. target towers
B. Someone else drops egg on target.
C. A tank pierces armor with ap.

I have yet to complain about being egged in TT.
Lynx and a few friends tried real hard to kill me a few nights ago.
Was good fun evading and making my escape back to base.
You on the other hand are a point potato.
Smothering GV with cannon knowing you can't kill them .
You are more than content to sit back and let someone else carry the ords to do the job. That or let the the GVers do it for you.

Hahahaa, a point potato for using a 110 to kill GVs.
Now I just need to be called a cheater and my to-do list is complete.
Good job on the assumptions :aok
next.
-
If you go in and kill what ever GVs you can with eggs and get out , Bravo.
If however you go in and strafe TANKS with your 110 till guns dry . Then sit back and collect kills on your way home.
No you are not a cheater.
You are lame for gaming the game though.
So you are the one doing the assuming around here.
So better add that back to your to do list little buddy.

Dumbest thing I heard yet. But oh well. Will not argue the fact. You here to ruin peoples fun so be it. Why I dont do TT anymore. Nothing mored irratating than being in good gv battle and getting egged. Nuff said,
-
As a frequent GV driver i have to say: I donīt mind being bombed by planes. I donīt mind being a premium target when trying to RTB in a Tiger with 40 kills. Thatīs part of the fun.
The only thing I do object is the constant dropping of TT VHs with the usual and very ridiculous excuse of "But they did it first!"
And by the way, I never seen TT as a kind of GV battle. It`s just a spawncamping slaughterhouse without any objective other than to score, to get perks and have fun.
-
I try to only bomb gv`s with a plane that in real life would of done.Thats why I`m always in my STUKA-O-DEATH. Trying to get in tt to bomb a gv is easy the hard part is getting out of there safely back to base. I`ve only made it out a few times.Bombing gv`s with formations is lame.

i love dive bombing in lancs...it's a great stress reliever

I can see both sides of this.
Take Wax's TankTown Mission from the AH1 Trinity Map when it was on the dockett for over a month because noone could reset it. A few of us were bored, and rolled Heavy Hellcats. Wax, Morpheus, a couple others and I flew over the mountains and they dropped VH's.
I saw a lone Tiger about 200 yards from the VH rtb. "SYSTEM: You shot down FireHwk #1". That one kill made my day as the WHINING on Channel 1 was hysterical. Wax and I still talk about that kill to this day.
I don't care, if I have eggs and I see a Tiger. I do NOT care if you are RTB, Camping, going to camp, going to a base, or going to a town, you ARE A TARGET.
I don't play this game to intentionally piss off other people. Some don't take well to my sarcasm and haven't figured it out yet.

what you trucktards fail to realize is that TT is really furball island. when a pinhead ostie shoots at me over furball island I retaliate with 500kg of HE love from the doctor of love, the lovely 110.

i like tanktown for the fun, get a few kills to take off the maddness of yourself at another base. but some people take it too seriously, i like to kill a tank from the air, its fun, but then they are p/o and up a temp or a friggin 262 and kill you, then vulch you , then you get a tank, 262 flying around putting 50 rounds into each tank he sees, then goes home with no ammo and waits for a few kills
-
bomb away i say..the camping is beyond reproachable..musta been 40 campers and 15 jabos hitting one spawn last night..id post the film but dont know where 2..did manage to nail a whole set pf lancs with turret AP..bwaahaha this is why low level is undesirable
-
the camping is beyond reproachable..musta been 40 campers and 15 jabos hitting one spawn last night..
jaxxo is right about that one last night, no joke, rooks had at least that many on TT (owning 2 of 3 VH bases)
All of them shooting some little kid repeatedly upping on his dad's account..haha

Yeah another great idea..... High cap in a A-8 wackin buffs over TT..
Man you fellas ar full of great ideas....
To kill the buffs and pork up a few GV's.....
I can't wait to get home and log on.....
step one..... mix greygoose martini

You need to insert a few more martinis in there someplace.

I am not a GV'r but it would seem to me that bombing the poor fellas at tank town would invoke as much outrage as we could expect if someone had been able to park Osti's on the bases back in FT.
are the tanks legit targets?--absolutely! but why mess up the day of someone who is not actually going to accomplish anything detrimental to your teams standing in the game? If you want to kill ground forces go to the main [part of the map and save a base or something.
now if the lil bastages shoot at you while you are furballin' then blow the bejesus out of em ... repeatedly!:D
if you are a Gv and are camping a spawn ...EXPECT TO BE BOMBED .. for the same reason i up my cat a base back and try to mess up the day of "joe pile it" when "he" is vuching an airfield.
can HT randomize the exact location of the spawn by a certain radius to make it harder to camp spawn? or is that already done? might make the spawn campers have to move the turret a little?
---random thoughts from a guy eating wings and drinkin beer

Yes more great Ideas.....
"""You need to insert a few more martinis in there someplace.
Thanks.... See this is a very smart group of guys !!!!

One evening I tried to roll a GV at tank town. Spawn, motor starts to kick over >DING< dead....spawn camper. Try again...get a few feet further, >DING< dead again. Add this to about 10 other guys who got popped in a similar fashion.
Determined to avenge myself, I up some Lancs to return the favor. Behind me I see some B-17s spawning. Ahead I see 4 formations of B-24s. Over the local range vox, I hear them chattering...all of these guys got spawn camped too and are hunting the bastid down :p

I bomb TT to hear people cry:cool:

I remember when it was called furball Island. As for Gv battles... give me a brake.....more like spawn camp battles. It's a mindless place to go and have some fun and when my tiger gets bombed I up a fighter and go kill um.
So far the consensus says GV's are targets and as Ive said in the opening of this thread I don't favour VH bombing or carpet bombing in heavy bombers. Taking a sledge hammer to crack a nut isn't my idea of skill.
As for VH bombing take your pick from the following.
1) Just for the pleasure of pissing off 1 team (Needless Knave Lamer)
2) To buy time to set up the spawn camp
3) Newbies that know what that they do
4) Frustrated revenge ...cantankerous
-
Did I miss the post telling the TT guys to take it to the DA if all they want to do is furball in tanks?
:lol
-
Some people don't die in TT as easily as others & hunting them from the air doesn't afford them the opportunity to fight back. People go there for the GV to GV fight. I don't see how this is any different than going in & running buffs in FT, it's just people trying to cause someone else an intentional headache.
It's a game & you're within the rules to bomb GV's anywhere you find them but why TT unless it's just to stir up 200. I personally don't care too much, if I get bombed over & over again I just go somewhere else or leave the game for a while & let the guys have their fun with someone else or I go get an Ostie or a plane & fight back.
I just try to get along with the majority of players & I don't go out of my way to piss someone off. I will talk trash & poke fun, but I try not to HO, I try not to drop hangars unless the field is in the process of being taken, I don't bomb GV's in TT & I don't buff run on FT fighter hangars. If you do those things on purpose knowing darned good & well it's going to piss people off; why come & complain when they do?:confused:

It all makes sense now. I saw you land an obnoxious GV spawn camping sortie. No wonder you got so worked up over the thought of a someone stealing your precious GV kills.
And you called me a score potato for gaming the game. :rofl

goodbye dweeb.

umm no its not at all like ftr town....if ftr twn spawned you at 5k 5 miles from base and 50 guys were hovering waiting to kill you maybe.. i like to tank but spawning in while a bunch of dolts sit there for 3 hours a piece pointing and clicking is not a gv battle...egg the litte tards...its actually a good synopsis of how most of the game is played however.... minimum risk maximum wtg's on the buffer :rolleyes:

If, at all this was referring to me may I point out that I'm not complaining at being complained at. I'm stating some facts for these guys to best understand where I'm coming from.
I get more AIR kills than Gv kills and these guys should be grateful I'm not a heavy bomber freak. I shell continue with my style of game play as and when it pleases me.:aok

I know right.You always see someone on this BB typing " Isn't this game called Aces High?so why complain about tanks?"
It is true this game is called Aces High.
So why can't the Aces stay up High?
-
I dont agree with planes bombing TT. Its just lame and illogical. Those guys are there with their GVs to fight other GVs and have a good GV time. They pose absolutely no threat to you. Fighters and bombers should treat GVers in TT just like they treat planes; like they are not there. The only time I would think it makes sense to egg a GV in TT is when they are spawn camping. Treat others as you would like to be treated I guess.

Most times i got > 2 kills before death in TT was when i found good spot, sit here with stopped engine and shoot bad guys as they come into my sight. It give advantage vs enemy tanks but makes you easy target for planes. Looks fair for me.
And it is camping ever if you cannt shoot tanks at their spawn point.

All legit IMO, however being a GV'r myself it get's refrustrating to be in a great GV battle olny to get bombed into oblivion or have your hanger killed.
I guess that's why I feel no pity or a sense of "Oh well" when I hear someones flattened all the hangers in Fighter Town (when the map is up)
Of course you get to hear all the fighter guys whine about ruining "thier" fun by killing their hangers. I guess it goes back to "when someone pays my $15 I will do what pleases me" :confused:
-
Bombing spawn campers in a jabo is no different than relieving cap over your airfield. If your spawn is not being camped, then any kills you get would be somewhat more "random". If it's in the game & not "gaming" the game then live with it or whine to HTC to make TT "bombproof".
-MI-
-
I think i'm hearing close air support didnt exist in ww2.....it did.
-
Taking a heavy fighter to the furball over TT is cool with me, its trying to get more bang for the buck before you hop on someones 6. Seeing gvs getting wasted by lancs is a bit much...but if someone wants to take the risk of getting a low lanc into tt thats on them.
So long as theres a tt I think there will always be this debate soo this is all pretty moot. Lol after just 2 months of coming back to online flight sims I figured that out.

I never said you couldn't play your style when it pleases you, in fact I said the opposite.
Don't take part of what I said out of context & try to make it sound as if I was bashing you. When people get defensive like that, it betrays their ulterior motives.
-
Brenjen.....
Didn't mean to give you the impression I had you outta context. Just saying I ain't complaining about be complained at.
Had a good day in TT again mostly in the hurri but I was also bombed in a panzer by one of the guys I'd been camping.
No offence meant
-
:rofl :rofl
I get a kick outta questiong the manhood of those guys who cant get me on the ground in TT so they have to bring in ords to get me from a safe distance....
but simple solution for all you GVers who have a distate for those eggs.... leave oppostion ostis alone unless they begin firing on ground targets.
I will not shoot any osti that is enagaging the TT eggheads even if they happen to my own countrymen getting shot down. A simple gentlemans agreement amongst the gvers would quickly make bringing ords to TT a dangerous game indeed! :aok
So how bout it? Let's let the ostis clear the skies and we can continue the GV slaughter without those silly flyboys interference! :)

I bombed TT in a set of lancasters from 1k because I was REALLY pissed off at Bishop spawn-camping tactics. Killed 5 + guys, and monitered the 200 for an hour. Not a single person complained...
Also, I didnt do it because "I cant get him on the ground" I did it to piss of the maximum number of Bishops, with the minimum ammount of work. I know it pisses them off, which is exactly why I do it. I didnt bail right after though, I tried to fight my way home but lost to a Spxteen an La-7 and a Typhoon.

Ive considered that, and finally decided that if I'm closer to MY triangle than I am to THEIR triangle, Im not campin;-- getting in a true camping position i.e. sneaking behind spawn, etc--assures that someone will egg you, or 4-5 panzers will hunt you down like a dog--the 3-4 kills ya MIGHT get doesn't warrant the eventual outcome, IMO
( I think the 3 spawns aren't but 2-3k apart tops)

bombing TT.......
all though many GVers say TT is for tanks only,this is wat i think
if ur a GVer and u know ur spawn camping and ur up to around 30 kills and uve killed some body 10 times let them bring back a P47 or a P38 and bomb u 1 time if any thing ur kills to death wont be half bad
other wise bombing the VHs is down right dumd cuz it just starts a chain reaction!!!!!! :noid :noid :noid

PUBLIC NOTICE:
TT stands for Tank Targets
-
I was in an aircraft in TT last night, and happened to think of this post.
Here's my 2 cents: If they can sit in TT in M-16's and shoot at planes going overhead, then I sure as hell will take whatever I can with ord, and blast them right off the map.
I think I got shot down by some guy in an M-16 like 3 times, all when I was in a furball, and not paying much attention to the gv's
If you can dish it out, you better be prepared to take it!

So, given you don't have some specific retribution on your mind at that moment, you think its OK to bomb GV's (i.e. tanks), knowing full well there will be almost no air defense vehicles or ack to hurt. Maybe there might be fighters, but quite ofetn not, so your perfectly safe and think you're NOT score padding? Really.

It's called Tank Town for a reason. Like there is (or was until the new AH paradigm) a Fighter Town, which was for the fighter furballers to have fun as a break from the regular MA action, without having to worry about bombers dropping the hangars all the time. Same concept for TT. It's for TANKS! Or at least it pretty much used to be.
Was a time when bombing or taking nme VH or base was seriously frowned upon and lambasted by YOUR OWN SIDE. Bombing dweebs came over TT, but far less often than now. Somewhere about 8-9 months ago, I think after big AH recruiting promos, TT really changed for the worst. Not saying it all didn't happen before, just now it's way more prevelent. The griefers in the game/community are breeding like cockroaches.

There are near always enough fighters in TT to make heavy's life short. And if there are no fighters be one.

I agree to a point. I think that if it were supposed to be only GV's there, they wouldn't have given every country an airbase right there. That said, I like to go to TT to furball every now and again, especially since we don't have our FT map anymore. However, when I'm there, I leave the GV's alone. The only reason I know that they are there is the constant firing. for the most part, I don't bother them, they don't bother me. Is this to be frowned upon as well, since "It's for TANKS!"?
I think people are just getting too strung out on this whole topic. The constant complaining only fuels the fire. The more complaints, the more it happens.

I had never dropped bombs at TT until last night. Spawn campers died in those two 500 pounder explosions. I had previously spawned 4 times and was killed instantly. Payback?? You bet! :aok
Any other time I have flown there was strictly air to air.

We can both spawn simultaneously and be within 2k of each other

Here's my 2 cents: If they can sit in TT in M-16's and shoot at planes going overhead, then I sure as hell will take whatever I can with ord, and blast them right off the map.
I think I got shot down by some guy in an M-16 like 3 times, all when I was in a furball, and not paying much attention to the gv's
If you can dish it out, you better be prepared to take it!

So, given you don't have some specific retribution on your mind at that moment, you think its OK to bomb GV's (i.e. tanks), knowing full well there will be almost no air defense vehicles or ack to hurt. Maybe there might be fighters, but quite ofetn not, so your perfectly safe and think you're NOT score padding? Really.
I really like your version of events. That would be great. I could score pad for days with no anti air and no fighters but alas that's not the case. At least not when I'm on.
Sure and true to the fact there is little to no anti air but to go in low in Hurri IIC with niki's, Spits, L-gays, 190's, p51's and a gaggle other low ENY planes is a hard place to come out alive. It would be safer for me to stay 6 to 8 k in fighter mode and leave the bombs at home.
My attack score has been hammered over the last few days doing this. Often miss with those 500's to be left "cherryable" but ya know what ? It's all good fun for me and sharpens the old SA :aok
I do confess that the Hurri is the ideal plane for me in this situation...almost cheating:t , if not for the views.

Here's how I read the issue. Some groups want TT to be the GV play ground, failing to realize that CAS evolved alongside Tank Warfare and ground warfare as a whole. First as spotter aircraft, then dropping bricks, small grenades, etc. Personally, I enjoy working as the FAC and bringing ordinance to bear on groups of GV's that are causing a lot of trouble for my teammates. Sometimes, in the process of marking those targets - I pickle off a bomb or two - usually with successful results but not always.
Point is, effective GV combat is a result of knowing where your enemy is and exploiting his weakness's and lack of SA. Having aircraft working in conjunction with GV's in a CAS and FAC role help my teammates have a decisive advantage in this.
Now, if you have fighters over your GV's to prevent me from doing my job - all the more power to ya. So if you get a bomb down your hatch, hey - get some drivers who can do their job properly. Don't complain across country lines.
Respectfully,
Wolf
P.S. If I do see an M-16 who's causing trouble for other aircraft, that gets my attention quickly - and usually vector a fast moving M8 or Jabo to rattle his cage.

OMG yall stfu. TT the way it is now is a mess noone will respect any aspect of it. thats why i hardly ever goto TT with tank, i now go in an osti and sit behind the spawn and shoot everything that flys over me HEHEHEHEHE i pwn TT air war

ow and ya if yall want to have a good TT with good fights we all need to talk HITECH to let us have Trinity back in the rotaion thats the map with 25k mountains

I have to admit, what Wolfie describes is actually one of those things that can make for a very complete and immersive gaming experience.
It would seem to me that, aside from the ridiculous placement of the spawns (I'd much prefer the spawns be several miles apart, and have numerous smaller factories scattered around, instead of the single congested town, but that's another matter), that the scene over TT is possibly more realistic than the pure GV spawncamping. Bombers and jabos coming down the passes, anti aircraft fire, lead flying, fighters attacking the bombers and jabos, etc. Fuh stuff.
Without all the planes, TT is nothing but a big camping festival. That's it.

I remember i'd take off in a 109E and climb up the mountain. Id dive inside and...
Yeah, I still bombed that one. I remember a mission where we took 4 B-24s and scalled the mountains to bomb TT. Its fun to listen to all the whining as we leave fires in our wake...
