Title: Bombing gv's in bombers
Post by: Getback on September 24, 2009, 02:59:21 PM
Do the kill of gv's no longer count when you did it with bombers?

The killing of GV's from a bomber only count if you get a good rant on 200 about being a "bomb****"

Best bomb**** I saw was someone in a full flight of lancs bombing a Vbase.  Missed everything.  Didn't get any of the hangers nor the 5 or 6 gvs on the field.

i used a B-38 yesterday to kill 3 WW on the main pad using a 1000lber; woulda had 5, but two decided to be tower-tards.  i got credit for the deaders just fine.   :rofl

Bombed a couple GV's from 17K in B17's at a Knit V-base. Unexpected, but a cool surprise!

I was in b24s killing a vh base, received credit from the host for 3 kills. They never appeared on my stats.

I think its hysterical that killing Gvs count, but killing aircraft that you actually have to fight against doesn't.

It kinda stinks that some score boi can toss a couple empty beer cans at your B-24s and it will catch on fire, but if you shoot him down it doesn't count.

I've had running fights with multiple cons that seem to last forever.

They kill a couple of my buffs, I kill a couple of their planes.

They get credit, the buffs get diddly.

If buffs are so hard to kill, why don't they all just fly at 5k?

Rant over! :salute

I thought kills in bomber mode were discounted on the scores page - only count if you use a plane in attack mode (i.e. Bomber/attack planes like A20) - I could be wrong, I usually am.

They appear on your stats, they just don't "count" for score.

Every kill made in the arenas ends up in the stats, with no exception.

I agree,I've been flying B-17s lately because of this problem.
The extra 2000 lbs. of ords. are not worth the burning feeling I experience when flying B-24s.

I know they appear on the stats.

But if killing bombers didn't count towards a fighter pilots score, do you think they would still be the score bois prey of choice??

I just don't think its right that you have to fight for your life in bombers ,yet killing fighters doesn't count towards score.

But thats the way it is. :salute
