After playing in tank town the past two and having my GV bombed 30+ times i think that Tank Towns should not have ordanace allowed.
For that matter i don't think there should even be airbases in Tank town. After all is is 'Tank Town'.
What do you guys think?
-
I think people will fly across the entire map to bomb you guys. :lol
Except without airfields nearby, you're less likely to have friendly fighter cover.
-
This has been brought up before although i dont think HTC cares. Those that bomb GV's at tank town do it because they arent able to get kills anywhere else. Once they get their 2 kills they run back to land in order to get their name in lights for 3 seconds. ORD, IL2's, should be disabled at any base near TT. As well as makeing all TT V-bases uncapturable. The mountains that surround TT should also be redone to atleast 20K that way the tankers can have their fun without the divebomb dweebs ruining it. But as i said its been brought up before and i dont see anyone giving it a second thought. They havent fixed the divebombing lancs and other 4 engine bombers and thats been asked for since i started playing 5 years ago. Its really to bad noone gives it any attention. :salute
-
It's a game, disabling ord may also hinder other aspects of the game that the base is around. If you are getting killed, up a fighter and kill the bomber/jabo. Or kill the surounding bases's ord.

Suck it up cupcake... tanks are cheap and plentiful. ;)

I completely agree with all of that. I wish HTC would implement all of that into TT. Some of us (like myself) are horrible in planes and enjoy the tank battles.
If i get bombed attacking a base somewhere besides TT i have no problem with that. But i really think TT should be ord free.
And as for dropping their ords it doesn't work. They get resupped before i can even land so its just a waste of time.
-
It's fun dropping on you tankers, you whine the most. :lol

let me bomb you 30 times and then tell me how fun it is.

Was there somewhere in those 30 deaths you wondered if you should maybe up a plane or wirble?

Ya know people that like to bomb gvs get annoying,you must be rook? :lol If a bomb a gv I only bomb rooks :lol :D .

I can't fly a plane i'm horrible. And what good is a wirble going to do when two of them come in at the same time? Because thats what happens to every wirble in TT.
Tanking is my specialty as is for allot of other guys to. So I think there should be one place where we who enjoy GVing can just enjoy ourselves without worrying about getting bombed every 5 seconds.
-

Besides if you up a wirble in TT a tank will just kill you.

exactly why we need an ord free TT.

I better go get rid of that airfield in TT on my map im making and switch it to a vbase. :bolt:

Well I was just messing with ya anyway. :neener:
I'm not sure how I feel about this, I'm usually in the air but enjoy tanking sometimes and don't think I'm too bad of a shot in a wirble when I choose to use one. Tanks have to deal with airplanes just like airplanes have to deal with tanks. But of course planes usually only interact between 0-1000AGL and obviously not over water. But disabling ords or removing the airfeilds and making the mountains too high for planes and making the V-bases uncapturable just seems against the spirit of the game, or the MA at least. When I'm in a tank I accept that I may have to deal with airplanes, especially since the game is Aces High.

I understand what you mean.
But it's rare that i ever get killed by a GV in TT. Wouldn't it be nice if say on just the map we have now in the orange arena we could play without ever having to worry about being bombed.
We could consentrate completely on the GVs and have mass battles of tanks only.
-
A good use of the word cupcake!!! :salute
Suck it up cupcake... tanks are cheap and plentiful. ;)
The only thing that can/should be done about it, is this.... Make a map with 40k mountains around 3 uncapturable vBases.
Put it into the rotation and wait for all the people complain they can't get jabo's into TT to help friendly gv's.
Other then that, what are we really talking about? Nobody is going to fiddle with arena settings on the current maps.
And besides, I think most of us are on both sides of this discussion. There are times, I'm the bomb****, times I am the pissy gv getting killed.... And still other times I'm out there and would love a friendly spotter. The only way to get it "both ways" is to get a new map with that layout at the center.
-
As I understand it, there really is not a sanctified place called "Tank Town" anymore. Please correct me if I am wrong. With that said I am an avid Gv'er and despise being bombed, while in the middle of a great tank slug-fest. What do you do? It's easy, spend a few minutes porking their ords and the problem is solved. Or just run a fighter on over and bag some heads. I did it the other night and it actually started a pretty fun fight. Get bombed once shame on them, get bombed twice or more :huh, shame on you...
-

Me and my squadies do it alot and, it helps for like 30mins then they resup it. :rolleyes:

I mean pork the island. The entire island. A couple of squaddies and it can be done in no time and last for quite a while. The best part is you can attack the re-supply guys too. Turn it into a fun fight, search and destroy, whatever you want to call it. I know this takes you out of a tank battle only, but embrace the chaos you can create and have fun with whatever type of fight crops up.

There is a map with six v-bases surrounded by 17k mountains and, strangely enough, no one really does any gv-ing there.
Still, someone will take the 15 minutes it takes to climb over the mountains but there are not the number of tanks there are in "regular" tank towns.

true enough that you rarely see tanks in the center of that map........... my only guess is because that map has better places for GV battles............ V135, V34, V2.......
and while you do get some who still make the flight to egg at those bases its not as common as on other maps........ I would guess due to the fact they arent as easy to get to as gv battles on other maps

Died 106 times in a Panzer and 112 times in a Sherman is not much, I guess........... :noid

What do I think? I think it's posts like these that make me want to roll a heavy F6F and bomb GV's in TT. You should have heard FireHwk go off on Channel 1 when I did that to him on Trinity. Wax was beside himself.

I think we should listen to Killer. After perusing the kill stats, GVS make a large % of kills / deaths. If all the GVers quit THE game and unsubbed HTC will lose alot of income......
-

I'm saying that most of those deaths are from bombs and that i get killed more by bombs than other tanks.
Not that i rarely ever die at all.
-
Once they get their 2 kills they run back to land in order to get their name in lights for 3 seconds. ORD, IL2's, should be disabled at any base near TT. As well as making all TT V-bases uncapturable.
A lot of us are all growed up and your name in lights in an internet game isnt all that important, trust me. I hope I'm remembered for far better things.
About the IL2s? Boy imagine finding IL2s around tank battles. :cry My gosh how totally unrealistic, whats the name of this game again? Oh yeah, its an Internet combat flight sim that also has GVs for your GV'ing pleasure. My favorite are the guys who cry about me in my IL2 after I whack em out when they are shooting onto my airfield. First off, the nerve of actually finding airplanes around an airfield. 2'nd I guess they just feel its realistic for them to shoot spawning airplanes in their tanks, while 1/2 a sector away, but its not legit for an airplane, around an airfield, to kill their tank. So waaa-waaa-waaa. :neener:
I dont fly IL2s around TT much. What happens is I start killing tanks and then mad little Johnnie jumps in his Typhie and flys HO straight into my IL2 spraying blindly and ramming. But there are times, like when i hear the above snivel, I'd like to Lanc-stuka/and bail TT like little Johnnie when mommie cant afford the Ritalin. :joystick:

out of the 64 times you were killed in a Panzer ONE time was by a plane (IL2)
Out of the 194 times you died in a Sherman (25) of them were death by planes.
One death out of 6 in a T34 was by aircraft
One out of 10 deaths in a Tiger was to an aircraft
Still doesn't add up to 30 :rolleyes:

Thank you for pointing that out. Thats a great point. Most of the people i know in the game drive GVs allot of the time.

I completely agree with that. i don't care about getting my name in lights. Yea its cool but not my main goal.
As for getting bombed at an airbase i don't mind that. I almost expect to be bombed or straffed by an IL-2 when i attack one.
What bothers me is that there is no place that those of us who like to GV can do so with out getting bombed.

But thats not my TT stats. I attack allot of bases outside of TT and in the other arenas. Hence, all the deaths by tanks.
When i'm in TT I DO get killed more by bombs than GVs.

Looks like 70+ % of your deaths in a Sherman are from other tanks (and it looks like DR7 really has your number)

But as i said in the post before this one TT in not the only thing i do.
I attack bases outside of TT.
All i'm saying is us GVers should have some place to go where we can get away from all the bombing. Then we can focus totally on tanking.
Then we would have more in depth and strategic battles because if someone got into a place where it was hard to kill them we can't just up a heavy plane and bomb them.
we would have to work together as a group to get to them and kill them. Also we would all have to work together to stay alive and alert to where all enemy tanks are.
And all those kills from dr7 came from spawn battles.

We used to have this map called donut. It had a fighter town at the center. Land grabbing toolshedders used to go and grab bases there. It caused a big fuss here on the bbs. Guess what happened after to much consternation about nothing. HTC removed the map. Keep whining about being bombed in TT. Then it to can go the way of the dodo.

Part of tanking is avoiding bombs.
I'm willing to bet those kills from dr7 came outta nowhere :rofl

And yea i do get killed by dr7 before he shows up sometimes at the spawn battles.

TT is Furball island for me, No ords and uncappable bases is a good idea. Then everyone can just kill eachother :x

You know if bombers and ords were disabled i could handle that. There would still be the spotters but at least it would end the bombing.

The only problem with this is that if you have no ord on TT, then all you have to do is get 3 or 4 guys to camp the living daylights out of the spawn and then your screwed because no one can bomb the spawn campers.
Trust me, you want ord so that this will not happen, cause when it does TT will truely be ruined.
Its just like life, there are alot of things in this world that helps with the balance of life, (like bugs, birds, fish, ect.) and while some might be unfavorable to you, but are crucial to the balance.
Same here, bombing in TT creates balance.

If that was the only time bombs were used then that would be better than it is now. Because right now ords are way overused.
-
The times Ive been in TT I'd have to say ords being used are unusual. It happens but not a lot.
IL2s are unusual there as well. The reason for that is there are a lot of enemy fighters around and if the % of enemy is against you, and/or the air front moves and your in an IL2? Your not in real good shape. While yu can dogfight a little in IL2s when you have 3 or 4 cons B&Z'ing yu its only a matter of time. For sure yu cant dogfight AND kill tanks at the same time either.
I'd say 95% of the action in TT is between fighters and between tanks, or, flak and fighters.
This entire thread is silly. Killer you have been killed, in a tank, exactly twice this tour by an IL2. By far you have dropped bombs on other GVs more then IL2s have killed you.

Yea but i'm not worried about the IL-2's in TT. I never see them. It's all the people dropping bombs.

Its not that big a deal to me,but it would be nice if you didnt lose perks when you get bombed.... Perks are to balance bettween tanks ,Not tanks and planes.

Simple solution to this problem. Up an Ostwind or Wirblewind as mobile AA or have some squadron mates fly a DEFCAP providing cover. The solution has been provided to you, if you do not wish use the tools given to you then that's your fault and you deserve to be bombed in your tank.

Strawman; if that is the case, we need a non-Wirbel/Ostwind area so the guys in aircraft don't leave and cost HTC income.
Bruv, he needs to realize that tanks weren't able to operate independently historically without aircover of some kind so they shouldn't be able to do so in here either.
-
Well for those of you who don't think bombs are over used, look at these stats.
Yesterday in TT my tank was bombed 17 times. I dodged 4 attempts to for a total of 21 times.
I was bombed 13 times on my own base and 4 times at an enemy base. All dodged attempts were between bases.
I was only killed 11 times by other tanks. 5 on my own base and 6 at enemy bases or between bases.
Looking at those stats bombs are ridiculously overused in TT and something needs to be changed.
-
This has been brought up before although i dont think HTC cares. Those that bomb GV's at tank town do it because they arent able to get kills anywhere else.
Wrong.
I love taking up an Ar234 then hearing the tank tards whine.
-

That's the spirit! Had a 50 kill tour in a 234 of just tanks, before I learned to dog fight with it!
HTC cannot and will not waste the time trying to make everyone happy.

The only thing that needs to be changed are your tactics. You have the tools at your disposal, use them or perish.

I hate to say it, but I am a B-25TARD.
I find it thoroughly enjoyable to take out unsuspecting Wirbles in TT. One 75mm to the rear armour, and BOOM!
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/newscores/killsin.php?playername=Phalanx&kcnt=39&selectTour=LWTour117&pindex=92 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/newscores/killsin.php?playername=Phalanx&kcnt=39&selectTour=LWTour117&pindex=92)
My apologies if you're on the receiving end of my 75mm HE rounds, or my 1,000lb bombs, or my many nose-mounted .50s, but you should take one of the following measures:
a) If you are a tank, ensure you have Wirblewinds nearby.
b) If you are a Wirblewind, keep your eyes open, and aim well.
<S>
EDIT: Also, plonking 4,000lb bomb on a single GV is especially satisfying. More so if it lands on a bunch of them.
Furthermore, I am feeling a bit sadistic tonight...hence the high levels of schadenfreude (man I love that word :))
EDIT 2: Actually sod that, I enjoy taking out GVs in general.

Did you have any aircover? Did you at least have a few wirbels near by to dissuade the jabos from making runs on you? Did you attempt to have the ord bunkers destroyed at the field the planes were coming from?
-
After playing in tank town the past two and having my GV bombed 30+ times i think that Tank Towns should not have ordanace allowed.
For that matter i don't think there should even be airbases in Tank town. After all is is 'Tank Town'.
What do you guys think?
I think posts like this just make me wana take my squad over in lancasters and plaster the hell outa tank town.
-
Did you have any aircover? Did you at least have a few wirbels near by to dissuade the jabos from making runs on you? Did you attempt to have the ord bunkers destroyed at the field the planes were coming from?
Rooks had a full darbar of planes, a few friendly fighters couldn't fly in and wipe out the bombers. Nobody wanted wirbles with all the tanks near by. And i took down the ord at both rooks and knights base and both were resupped in less than 15 mins. So its a pointless waste of time.
I don't get the point of bombing tanks on there own base. If you want to kill someone get in a tank and do it.
-
was it level bombing or dive bombing? Dive bombing I can see, and you have no grounds for complaint.

Then he's screwed, gets bombed and posts a whining thread in the forums.

Well for those of you who don't think bombs are over used, look at these stats.
Yesterday in TT my tank was bombed 17 times. I dodged 4 attempts to for a total of 21 times.
I was bombed 13 times on my own base and 4 times at an enemy base. All dodged attempts were between bases.
I was only killed 11 times by other tanks. 5 on my own base and 6 at enemy bases or between bases.
Looking at those stats bombs are ridiculously overused in TT and something needs to be changed.
Stats? What stats?
I do not see any hard proof posted. Just another whine.
-
Rooks had a full darbar of planes, a few friendly fighters couldn't fly in and wipe out the bombers. Nobody wanted wirbles with all the tanks near by. And i took down the ord at both rooks and knights base and both were resupped in less than 15 mins. So its a pointless waste of time.
I don't get the point of bombing tanks on there own base. If you want to kill someone get in a tank and do it.
Then take out troops at all nearby bases.
-
I think posts like this just make me wana take my squad over in lancasters and plaster the hell outa tank town.
:lol I think posts like this just make me wonder what the "LTAR's" have come too.
-
was it level bombing or dive bombing? Dive bombing I can see, and you have no grounds for complaint.
It was both. There's Lancs, B-24's, and most of the fighters that will carry bombs.

I do have a squad but its just four of us. So there's really not much we can do against a full dar-bar of planes.

As for that I wrote down every death and kept track of it every thing there was to keep track of. I wouldn't make up crap to put on my own thread.
-
Your tour totals for GV's are
Sherman >85% of deaths to GV's
Panzer IV >98% of deaths to GV's
Tiger I >90% of deaths to GV's
T34/76 100% of deaths to GV's
T34/85 >83% of deaths to GV's
I'm not calling you a liar, however if you died 17 times to aircraft yesterday, that's approaching half of your deaths to aircraft for the tour, which is something that should be put in perspective.
From the perspective of a pilot it's just as difficult if not more so to kill tanks compared to aircraft, if there're flakpanzers and fighters about.

Yep looks about like i expected. The reason for that being that TT isn't the only place i've GV'ed this tour.
So my overall stats have nothing to do with my TT stats.
And yes yesterday was a particularly bad day in getting bombed. It seems to be getting worse by the day.
What would be so wrong about giving us GV'ers a place to go up agaisnt each other without having people drop bombs on us?
I don't care how many times i get killed by a tank but i wish the bombing would come to an end.
-
:lol I think posts like this just make me wonder what the "LTAR's" have come too.
All I'm saying is that every month there is a "stop attacking tank town" or "make tank town uncapturable" thread put up. If all you want to do is have a GV fight, then get everyone there to go to the Golly-geen dueling arena.
It was both. There's Lancs, B-24's, and most of the fighters that will carry bombs.
Well you can kind of complain about the level bombers since you can't do a thing about it, but the dive bombers are what wirbs, osties and M16's are for. And really, you have no grounds for complaint since thats pretty much what there for.
-

I still think that we should be able to tank without being bombed. If i had to drive a wirble i'd never get to drive a tank because there's so many people bombing. Mostly rooks.
-
Level bomber, you have a right to complain about, but dive bombers, if they hit bases, they make themselves vulnerable to higher fighters. And you don't have to have hundreds to make a good GV fight. I've been in some really intense ones with three tigers charging. The total number of people in that fight was less than 20. As for the bombs, you can protect youself some by hiding behind a bush inbetween you and your attacker. the bushes are bullet and bomb proof, and likely they will relase to soon causing the bomb to land infront of the bush.

Yea some of my best fights have been with just 2 or 3 other people. Bushes do work well as long as there's no tanks around because by the time you get set up to avoid the bomb a tank takes you out.
Whats worse is when rooks take over TT. But thats for another thread.
-
No no no, I mean set up behind a hedge, and start picking off targets within range. Works best with a Tiger for the armor or a fire fly since it blends in with the bush. It protects one of your flanks and your rear if you set up right (exposed side armor on right flank [assuming hedge is right of the tank] will be sloped VERY steeply relative to incoming rounds.
-
I think we should listen to Killer. After perusing the kill stats, GVS make a large % of kills / deaths. If all the GVers quit THE game and unsubbed HTC will lose alot of income......
After tonight with the rooks taking TT twice i'm just about done. Absolutley pathetic that they have to take every base there, just pathetic.
-
Well its partialy our (bish) fault, our immpenetrable defence, and stunning, awe inspiring offence has forced the rooks to attack unprepared, and undefended from the air, bases.
-

Yea we didn't have the defense we needed. I fought em hard. I just wonder why they can't have enough respect for those of us who like to GV not to take it.
Same goes for the bombing GV's. Yea there's ways to stop it but it takes more people than we can get in TT. Just a little respect for us in the GV's is all i ask for.
-
Well thats just it, they attack there because there is rarely fighters over head to oppose them. I will fly figher cover when someone askes me for a ground mission or attack on a TT base. I think I still have some screen shots of me tank busting in my B-25H with our base in the background.
Infact, when I get back on, my squad and I will protect TT if you need us too. We have a bomber pilot to tank bust if you need it and 3 fighter pilots.

Sweet. The rooks need to bombed to no end and maybe they might get the idea. But right now TT is already gone again. It's all rook.
Hopefully tommorrow we can get back in and between my squad and your squad and all the others that GV we can hold some bases.
Be nice if the Knights got back in to and we had a three way battle again. The way its supposed to be :)
-
You guys shouldda been on last night when there was an awesome fighter/buff/gv fite on the western part of tt. gv's on gv's and planes on planes, hardly a bomb****, that's how it should really be. why did you bishops brought in your 20 buff, 30k alt mission that you like so much kill all the bases there? what really happened today killer is that you guys gave up, but dont worry tomorrow it will be back to normal.

Now that would have been fun. Thats the way it's supposed to be.
Me and about 5 other guys fought hard all the way to the end to save the bases we got back in TT last night but the rooks immediatly started bombing, took the hangers down, bombed every GV, and took them back.
Just wasn't enough bish there.
Which is why they should be uncapturable. The rooks really enojoy TT and have lots of people there. Bishops on the other hand don't have
as many there and don't stand a chance when the rooks decide they want to own the entire island.

Correct me if I am wrong but the Rooks who so love TT, had captured the entire Knight portion of it in Orange Arena. As I said before there is no sanctified place called Tank Town anymore.

What is worse is when a side captures the other two tank town bases on the real TT map (Ndiesel)

I like tank bustin. Leave it as it is! Besides, tank town is also a good place for wirbles and osties to provide support for the tanks- thus adding to the immersion and role playing aspect to the game. :aok

Ya know you're right in WW2 they did attack gvs with planes and the other way around.
-
When I want to practice my wirble skillz, I go to TT and setup in some trees kinda behind the spawn.
Sure every now and then I get killed by a tank, but for the most part Seeing the planes zooming in to bomb/strafe get a face full :x

They even went as far as to take every single base in it last night. Twice for that matter.
What i meant was the rooks always have a large group in tanks and a large group in the air bombing us.
We bish have mostly GV's and not near asmany in the air.
-
bombing in TT does suck, i have been bombed and done the bombing.
If you have enough country mates in the area they can kill the cons coming in and you can bomb.
I have noticed that there is a very lopsided team balance in TT.

I said when I get back on. It will be around the 15th or thanksgiving if things get delayed. Around Dec. 10 at the LATEST.
Plus I need to train one of my fighter pilots in JABO role.

Yea its definatly unbalanced. Rooks allways have the most, followed by the bishops, and i really feel sorry for the knights that like TT.
Rooks knocked them out well before they were able to knock the bish out.

Oh ok. I misunderstood what you meant. Well I hope to see you in a few weeks then :salute

<S> All!
Maybe you chaps should ask for a dedicated GV arena. GV exclusive. But that might be bad for the other arenas,you are needed there (and I'm not beeing sarcastic).
BTW, why don't you tank boys organize a Battle of Kursk scenario? GV exclusive, hundreds of tanks opening fire in open ground? Wouldn't that be awesome?
Even I would go for that one! As target, of course! :D
Cheers,

If you think it would be worth it I could skimp and teach him the basics, and let him fill out the corners in combat.

I seriously thought about asking for a GV arena but then i thought about being needed in the MA since TT isn't the only thing i do in there.
Thats not a bad idea. Would be the greatest GV battle of all time. only problem being i've never organized one and have no idea where to even start haha.

I'd say give him the full lesson. TT is gone for now since its Titanic Tuesday. And who knows when it will be back.
Now we have a spawn battle. One of the few places where the bombers are rare. :rock
-
We'll try and keep the bombers off your back killer. I'll give him the full lesson then. The other guys are on already, I just need to send them invites. I'll set them to defending TT when you ask provided they aren't already otherwise occupied. Whats your game ID?

cc ty. will def be nice to have aircover wiping out the bombers.
And i'm Killer91 ingame to.

rgr that. I've ordered my bomber pilot and one fighter pilot to defend TT at your call unless already occupied. They are sandwich and 2ace. If you can't find 2ace then I may have gotten his game names up. Your bish right? I can have them swich, or you can tune to them if need be. You'll have another fighter when the other guy gets his machine de bugged.

Haha i have to admit that is funny.
But if you go back and read some of my posts i said that i didn't mind being bombed outside of TT. I just think we should have a place to battle with being bombed.
I expect to be bombed anywhere else. But the bombing in TT is out of control.

well then your gona be happy bout this killer, just got another fighter/bomber pilot. expirenced with Il-2 Hurricane IID, and B-25H, along with P-51, La-7, 4-hawg, and Ki-84.

If he aint, then I've killed A-5's before. Flipperk, you bish?

After playing in tank town the past two and having my GV bombed 30+ times i think that Tank Towns should not have ordanace allowed.
For that matter i don't think there should even be airbases in Tank town. After all is is 'Tank Town'.
What do you guys think?
Well.... I think that AH should make a Duelling Arena for the tanks, to solve that problem. The thing is that, if you want a easy kill, drop some bombs in Tank Town.
I think that the pilots can bomb Gvs in what ever place that they want. I have been bombed in TT my self. What can you say. HAY! DROP YOUR BOMBS SOME OTHER PLACE :rofl
<S> :salute

There is a "Tank Town" in the DA. Top, Right corner I believe.

Griefers will fly 10 sectors to grief a good gv fight..... There should be a perk for ord. Its the only way to even it up...
