Title: bomber perks
Post by: pxdig on July 18, 2008, 02:33:40 PM
I have read the forum where we ask for V1s, V2s, B-29s, and even the atomic bomb.  All of these seem like good ideas and would concetrate the game on taking bases and winning wars instead of just furballing. 

However, I would like to see any one of these ideas put into use in order to have some use for the bomber perk points.  GV and Fighter perkies are really easy to use up, but the only bomber we can really use up perk points on in the Ar234.  This bird carries very few bombs and its pretty hard to get shot down in it.  So, the end result is a bunch of perk points no one can use.  Please but in one of the the above listed ideas, even if you need a TON of perk points to use them.  It would encourage people to fly more bombers, making for more targets and diversify the game, as well as use up otherwise worthless perks.  Just my humble opinon.   :aok

 A better idea would be "dump/destroy" perk points. If you truely have nothing to spend it on, then might as well press a big button that says "DESTROY".

How about perking bombs for fighters?  Use the bomber perks to pay for them.

Better yet, allow you to trade them for GV (2-1 ratio) or fighter (3-1 ratio) points.

That is exacly what I am talking about, give us something, anything, to do with the bomber perks.   :rock

But a "DESTROY" button is not a good idea !  :furious

Someone tell me why NO ONE likes flying 234s? I love flying them. Drop your bombs then fly around low in a furball.

Edit: Different subject, but on the subject of perks. I was flying a 262 one day and I shot down 2 Spit14's, 3 Ar234's(a set of them), a Tempest(superfly) and a few other low ENY planes. I upped it for around 150 perks, and lost 148 perks. Basically you're telling me I got 2 perks for killing 6 perk planes and a few other planes?

Most people dont like flying the AR 234 because,

1.  low bomb capacity

2.  no aimable defensive guns

3.  High speed makes combat action unlikely

So, all this adds up to one boring arse flight   :eek:

You guys don't know how to have fun in it. I dump my ord and fly to the nearest furball and get into some turn fights, rack up 3 or 4 kills, hey at least I had fun.

It does not catch fire when hit once.
Who said the Tu-2 was coming out?

I think that's a good idea.

That ratio trading thing isn't a bad idea after all.

I see 234s flying around furballs a bit and always wonder why, unless they are looking to ram fighters. I dont get it  :confused:


edit: and Mosquito B.Mk XVI with formations (as usual...)
