i have heard from squadies that there used to be a map where TT was on a 20,000 ft mountain so that you didnt get bombed all the time. the use of bombs in TT really sucks for the gvers i am in a tank probly 95% of the time and i bet half of my deaths are by a bomb or a il2 is there any chance of getting a TT without ords or planes around it? i know it would make a lot of guys that gv very very happy to go out and have a actuall gv battle without the bomb****s. i hear alot of pple complaining about being bombed in tank town and yes im one of them

Think they call themselves the S.O.A.R and they go around in 15k lancs and drop the VH's at TT too, yes its dweeby. (Like the equivelent of having FH's at FT dropped for you fighter jocks.IMO)
-
I'm an IL-2 guy, a fanatic actually. I have some self imposed rules. First off I dont usually upp them at TT unless an airbase needs defending. Fights between GV bases I leave for GV'ers to have fun with. The same goes for fights between GV bases elsewhere on the map. Frankly TT would be better if there weren't any air strips at all, or something like it.
I try to extend courtesy even further. If a fellow Rook is strafing a Tank I either leave it for him or ask first if he minds if I attack it. I like to leave targets for the tankers too and not hog everything.
I dont even go to TT frankly. To much dweebery. At most I'll upp a fighter and leave the GV battles to the GV'ers.
But it would be better if there simply weren't any airbases on the Island. We should leave TT to the GVs. I agree.

i gotta say its not very often you can go to tank town without seeing some guy up in lancs or a 110 a20 or the bomb**** favorite the il2 and the country i see that does it the most not saying particular person but the rooks seem to just fly around and drop vhs and bombs gvs i dont know if this is cause the scared of getting in a gv or what but its very annoying i have been on most of the day today and the only way the rooks seem to take a TT base is to drop all vhs and come back with more bombs for cleanup
-
I sometimes go to tank town to hunt dweebs bombing GVs and any fighters hoping to do the same thing. (http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/qq197/Chalenge08/costumed-smiley-011.gif)
-
I sometimes up IL2s solely to hunt dweebs in GVs pretending they have a moral right to an uninterrupted ground battle. :lol
-
Long ago I occasionally took an Il2 over that mountains... but that was back in tjhe days when TT wasn't the ghost town it is today
-
To be fair, 90% of the time we have a map with a center with V-fields and A-fields for a combo TT/FT, knits have had all their fields stolen by the rooks (sometimes bish, mostly the rook horde), so it's really a non-issue until the rooks learn some self-control :D
-
I sometimes take 17s into TT to shoot down planes. Along the way I'll take out as many barracks as I can in order to prevent bases from being taken. It wasn't even 5 seconds after taking out my first barracks that I saw typed on 200 "Bish bomtards are starting early in TT"
:lol
-
I bomb gvs in TT when Im having a fight near their Vbase and some guy in a wirb opens up on me. Whats the answer to that? He's gonna get bombed. And since Im out with bombs, some others are bound to get bombed too.
-
Logged in to LWBlue last night.
The map was(is) Trinity.
The first thing I noticed was that the Knits had captured all of TankTown save one Rook base.
The first thing I typed was... "durn... who took TankTown?"
I am a firm believer that we should leave TT alone and let the GV types slug it out.
-
On a strategic level I like to leave TT until last. I figure if they are gv'ing they aren't bothering me. In trinity TT though the spawns to several key bases. So Knights or whoever has them probably felt it necessary to capture.
-
I've been bringing bombs in TT recently simply to kill all the wirbels that are out in the open, hoping to shoot someone in a dogfight...
-
Hey it sounds like people are willing to fight to protect this place. Cool! That is what the game is all about! Get out there and fight them. It may not be the ground slugfest you want, but I can guarantee you will have some fun one way or another.

Who needs the whining and the drama? LWB has been the better fight anyways.

I never thought about it before, but you may be right. The "go with the crowd" types are always desperate to get into orange.
-
Didnt there used to be a time where FT/TT bases did not count towards winning the map?
-
I'll take an A20 up if the spawn is being camped.

Generally a far better crowd in LWB. Older, lots more team work, combined arms fights "which I love". You dont have 80 typhoons/Temps coming in at 15k, with 1,000lb bombs, calling themselves skilled. I'll yellya one thing, there are some very skilled Bish & Nit flak gunners in LWB.
I got so sick of the scene in LWO I just wondered in, almost never fought in blue before. Its a far better arena. I bet mid-war and early are better too.

thats bull filth i was in a M4 at a gv base in TT and u had a 110 you strafed me for five mins eventually traking me while i was shooting down tanks and when someone took you out you can back in a IL2 to bomb me you are the true definition of a bomb****
-
I didn't eveb know there was a definition to 'bomb****' thanks!

I sat up at 30K in a P47N over the trinity TT once. Got 8 or so kills off bombers trying to make it over the hill.

Used to use a Jug or a 38. There are really only a few passes into TT and it isn't hard to be there waiting as they come wallowing over the top. :devil

I'll agree with this as soon as they make it so whirbys and flaks cant shoot at planes. Sounds fair to me.

I've got to try this! :rock

Gravy are you still sore about that? I think I said above in this post that when someone shoots at me while in a dogfight from a GV I come back to bomb them..AND any other GV(you) that may accept whatever bombs Im carrying. I did come back time and again after to kill you though, because you PM'd me cryin. Then I just had to make a hobby out of you.
Next time, up a fighter and come kill me.
-
I up IL-2s at tank towns to kill the Kuh-nig-uts who are camping our spawn. And even then, I ask our friendlies if they want a hand from the skiy.
