So i see this happening alot lately when im dive bombing tanks, which i love to do. Ive had it happen to me a few times where i would drop a bomb and look back at the target and before the bomb would hit the tank the player would eject from the tank, causing me be frustrated of what i just saw. :furious Yes you can call this complaining or whining and you can flame this thread all you like (because i know you will), but this can't be happening just to me. i know this happens to other people. Id like to know why people are afraid of getting a bomb dropped on them, all they can do after getting killed is up again and drive another 300 yards to the same position. btw the tanks i dropped on were not even perked vehicles, i could understand then, but on a base where can you drive back to your same position it is ridiculous and also annoying.
thanks for listening, RedTail

Might be a nice addition to make it so tankers sitting on pavement must wait 10 seconds from when they .ef and to when they exit. It would really make it difficult to end the flight based on the noise of dropping bombs and really isn't that long to wait.

Thats fine as long as aircraft also have to sit on the tarmac for 10 seconds after they .ef

Fine by me. Shouldn't be able to just .ef and Matrix off to the tower anyways.

Why give you the pleasure of bomb tarding when the tank driver can just tower out? If I can tower out when on concrete and deny the pilot the kill, I will do it every time... I do not think it is a matter of being afraid of getting a bomb dropped on them like you wrote. It is a matter of why give the bomb**** a free kill?
-
I rarely do this. I just suck it up and either try to move fast or hope the attacker drops too wide or too low.
Bailing from a tank is the same to me as someone who bails from their LANCs the moment they are done dropping bombs. It cheapens the entire experience.

Not surprised at the comments coming from the vDevils, what one squadron must do to make up for their collective lack of skill.

I never bail out of my bombers just, but I even had a .ef makro programmed to my joystick for use in tanks ;)
Maybe this has to do with some subtle differences in gameplay.
Lets take OZkansas. There are those two nice Vbases in the southwest, V135/V136, spawning towards each other, so that no side has a genuine spawn camping advantage. One of the best places for a tank battle.
But inevitably the jabos show up, especially after the southern country moved it's CV close. From then on it's a constant rain of bombs on that battle, without risk and without any intention beyond simply getting kills on helpless victims. When I'm there and hear a bomb falling, I bug out. Without any regret and without shame. The last ones going ballistic about this were tripl5 and his cowfriends, which used to get hundred of "atttack mode" kills that way.
Now I'm not saying "thou shall not bomb tanks"... but don't expect me to be a booster for your score if I can help it ;)

I don't see how it's a free kill. He took a heavy aircraft in to hostile territory (almost sure death, if not accompanied by an entourage of clean fighters), dropped the bomb in some sort of precise fashion, and didn't auger on climb out. If you don't want bombs falling on your head, have a sqaudy roll a wirble, or fly air cover. Geez, what am I saying? Asking a vDevils Brigade member to use common sense!? I've been working too hard.

I disagree on a time to land requirement. If they want to bail before bombs hit, then so be it. It's their 15 bucks, and it's what makes them happy. By the way, I never bomb GV's that are on friendly pavement unless the VH is down. Why give up my egg for a less than a 100% chance of a kill?

Think about trying to survive by staying in the game, rather than giving a guy a target to hit and then exiting out as soon as he commits to his attack. Very poor game play on your part.

I don't see how it's a free kill.
because he's sitting sitting still.
how about this "solution"? if a vehicle gets killed by a bomb and is not in motion, have it count simply as an object destroyed instead of a kill! :neener:
i dont see a problem either way.. if you are bombing gv's at an enemy base, you're probably trying to capture it.. put your bombs on the vh(s), then on the gv's.. if they tower out then, who cares, they're out of the fight either way, you just don't get an easy kill to go along with it.
also, i believe hitech has addressed the issue, and said it is like a defender's homefield advantage.

gotta love the mentality! i bet some of those real tank drivers wished they could've .ef'ed out of their tanks before they were blown to smithereens! oh well, there are little boys, then there's men!

A la Moil.Speak of Moil, is he still around?

Anyone in the game can alt out any time they get into a position of being killed.
Exiting a GV once a bomb is headed your way is the same thing. It is poor gameplay, cheap gameplay.... but thats just how some people are. Others stay in the game and with the fight until the end. Those are the ones that make the game a better experience.
Homefield advantage? no. thats just HTCs code speak way of saying not important enough to address. And I agree. Some of us are going to stick with it, others will bail at the first sign of being beaten. Nothing can be done to make those people want to fight it out.

:aok :salute Same here. Besides, if I am paying attention, a last minute manuever makes the bomber miss every time. :furious
-
DERK, if you are so upset about GVs hitting .ef and just driving another 300 yards to the same position, then my guess is the VH is still up. In that case, why not drop on the VH? It can't tower out once you release your bombs, and you still get your name in lights for doing damage. Why drop on a vehicle when the VH is up unless you're just looking for easy kills? In that case, I'd tower out too.
-
B4Busty, I think you may have hit the crux of the problem. This may be one of the very few ways this guy can rack up any kills either for his name in lights, or for score. Another instance of people not wanting to bother learning how to fight, just looking for another way to cut corners. :(

yep kill the VH first, then see if they still play peekaboo in the only tank they will get from that field.

I actually like to use the prairie doggers to my advantage when trying to take V-Bases. Having someone tower out the second they hear a bomb is a great thing for taking a v-base intact w/ hangars up. They're not camping the maproom and they're not shelling M3's rolling onto base, and they're sure as heck not looking for troops when they hear the whistle of 1000lbs comming on their heads.
If you wanna gamble that you can re-up before 10 troops make it in the room, go for it. Just don't be mad when a tiger is in the hangar behind your wirble and you can't tower out any longer.
...also if you have 2 or 3 people doing it, you can always have a squaddie drop another 1000lbs 3 seconds later on the spawn hangar and take out all the buggers re-upping out of there w/ 1 bomb. Get am all nice and grouped and helpless... talk about easy kills.
-
Fine by me. Shouldn't be able to just .ef and Matrix off to the tower anyways.

man if thatd happen id get u alot more grizzy, chased u n u landed like 5 times before i got there. now if there was a 10 sec thing id vulch u on runway, maybe was bruv i was chasin

:noid

The key is to get into the GV'ers mind... I can't hit the broadside of a barn with a bomb, or the broadside of a hangar, or city block for that matter. If I can get them to tower out while the bomb is in the air and going to miss them anyway I see that as a win. :)
-
ok thanks guys for your comments, and ack ack isnt a tool btw he may sound like an arse but he is bery true in most cases. I figured out my own solution, put a few rounds in them, then go up and do your dive run and if they bail you still get your kill because you put some guns on them on previous run. That my new solution. Again thanks for response salute. RedTail

dive bombing,i can't hit much more than the dirt.
way back when i was in another squad........i got lame enough to take lancs up for the gv doods.
14,000 pounds of love. :devil

Why is it lame that you took up a Lancaster to bomb some tanks? There is nothing wrong with it despite the tools like members of the vDevils pout, let them cry and call you a "bomb****" all they want. They are the ones getting a new tank and you're the one smiling because you just made a group of tools whine and pissed.
ack-ack

very*
yea i know. i don't do that anymore. i don't try to dive bomb em either...unless you count me falling out of the air as a divebomb attempt
-
This sounds like someone got his arse clubbed in a tank and then couldn't get any revenge.
Another reason they tower is if they were playing for score duh a ditch is less harmful to score then death.
Personally I'd do it to rob someone a kill on me cause people always try to bomb me :furious
-
...people always try to bomb me :furious
*glances at Belials avatar and laughs* :neener:

I just enjoy the whining on 200 after i bomb them. Then i laugh hard when they up in a uber AC and come after me.

That won't work if they are on pavement. As long as they are on a road or pad at the base. you can turrent them and they can still land without you getting credit. Just have to dive in from very high at 90 degree angle so they don't know until too late. :aok

I agree, let them whine. I will cuss ya out under my breathe, but if you look at my kills this month so far in an M4, I have killed almost as many planes as GVs. So go ahead, bring out the bombers. :salute :aok

...if not ill bomb gvs not on the pavement.
BINGO!! You know the only reason they park on the roads are for the quick escape.lol :salute
-
On landing kills in gvs i think instead of a 10 sec wait to .ef, which that is a good idea but for landing kills it should be that you have to land near or inthe VH. How does that sound?

To make it fair, planes should then only be able to land their kills at the base near HQ. ;)
-
Personally, I think its cheap. I bombed an M4 the other night and missed, no big deal, came around for a second pass and he shoots at me with his main gun and missed. I drop a second bomb and he towers out, the bomb lands right where he was seconds before.
Now - had he hit me with his main gun, it woulda been his kill and he'd be happy and gloating.
Bombs were dropped on tanks - it happened, lots of historical evidence to back that up. Planes shot down by main guns on tanks - only one historical event that I've ever been able to find, it was an M5 that hit a Japanese fighter and it was purely by accident.
So - if tanks can shoot at planes with main guns and its perfectly acceptable to take your punishment, why can't it be acceptable the other way around?
Falling bombs and jabos are an everyday part of a WW2 tankers' life. Towering out to avoid the bomb and the subsequent kill is simply gaming the game. It stinks, but that's what we have to deal with.
Flame away, tards.
-
If you tank expect a bomb. If its me bombing you. Expect to die. :P
-
Maybe I missed it, but why is a 10 second wait to tower out of both planes and tanks terrible again?
I don't really care that much about tanks bailing under a bomb, but I do feel it's cheesy gameplay no different from bomb and bailing, jabocide on the dar with no attempt to survive, and plug pulling when the enemy gets close to your bomber.
As far as the main gun thing, I still maintain if you put a WWII tank crew on a mountain of ammo in the middle of a field, and had a b25 running patterns around that field at say, 1k alt and told them to knock it down, giving them a bunch of different angles to shoot from, they'd do it within an hour. The same if it was a fighter that kept coming straight at them like it was going to drop a bomb from a shallow angle. The reason I believe it didn't happen in the war was it was a low percentage shot, and they had better things to expend their limited ammo on than aircraft. Also, the planes probably rarely if ever came in shallow enough for them to get the gun high enough to get at them.

Instead of whining about towering out just go to spawn and clear out the gv's there. They can't tower out and you'll hear a lot of compliments on 200. You might get saluted for a great 1000lb drop on a M3 dropping supplies. Before ya come out and bomb the spawn at least try to up a few times at the spawn to attempt to clear it out.
-
Anyone in the game can alt out any time they get into a position of being killed.
Exiting a GV once a bomb is headed your way is the same thing.
it's different. disco counts as half a death, landed successfully counts as 0 death.
It is poor gameplay, cheap gameplay.... but thats just how some people are. Others stay in the game and with the fight until the end. Those are the ones that make the game a better experience.
i agree it's gamey, and so are many other things in the game, but i don't know how giving free kills makes good gameplay.. Do you think the endless #'s of people who give vulchers at a completely capped base free kills is good gameplay as well??
the gv is essentially a sitting duck for anyone with a bomb. the jabo or the carpet bomber doesn't risk anything, why should the gv if he doesn't have to?
Homefield advantage? no. thats just HTCs code speak way of saying not important enough to address. And I agree. Some of us are going to stick with it, others will bail at the first sign of being beaten. Nothing can be done to make those people want to fight it out.
fight what out? what kind of fight is a gv going to give an airplane, sitting stationary on his own base, with the bombs already incoming?
I will continue to tower out whenever I wish, if only to make people waste bombs. On a related note, I occasionally do it with planes when a base is being actively vulched, up a 262 or something on a rwy, and tower out soon as they come racing over each other shooting at a defenseless plane on a runway. it becomes a game of chicken.. wait till they're close enough to waste ammo, but not hit ya :) it's great fun!
-
LOL. That is so trul. :aok
I'd expect nothing less from you either Oakranger .You are the number 2 bulletin Board tool...
-
I always found the guys who tower out at a spawn as I'm diving on them funny...I get the kill either way. If it's not a flak I usually don't even drop a bomb on the first pass to see what they do.
-
If I am in a wurble, I never tower when the bombs whistle. If I am on concrete in a tank and some guy is clearly just looking for free tank kills, and not trying to kill the VH, I may just tower out and not give him the pleasure of a free kill. If the VH is down, I stay until they kill me...If a few Bulletin Board warriors do not like it, I really dont care. They do not pay my subscription... My point was clear.

Derk13, my point was simple. I may tower out if the pilot is clearly not trying to take the base or VH and just looking for tanks to drop on... If he is trying to take the base and going for the VH, I never tower out...I never tower in a wurble. I may tower in a tank on concrete if the pilot has no intention of killing the VH and is just looking for free tank kills. Should I just put a large sign on the top of my tank that says free kills?? If your flying over a base with no intention but to drop bombs on tanks, I for one am not going to be on your kill roster... And yes Ack-Ack is a tool!!!Spends all of his time trolling and making worthless comments!! Nobody can say anything on these boards without some worthless comment from Ack-Ack or Oakranger.. They must spend 24 hours a day trolling the Bulletin Boards...
I before you ask, No I am not mad about anything at all. It would be nice to see a civil discussion about a subject on these boards without the same ILK making insults and put downs... I always conduct myself well inside of the game... No 200 rants and no PM insults. Would it be too much to ask for a few people to conduct themselves accordingly on the boards??? I am not speaking about you Derk...
-
if you're towering for a landing or ditch, you're near your own base.
the guy dropping a bomb is not getting a "free kill", hes heavy and low alt in enemy airspace which means hes easy meat for auto/manned ack, wirbles and enemy fighters. nothing free about it.
the gv otoh is getting "free kills" because he faces no risk of a death. assuming hes aware enough to spot incoming bombs or rounds and take 0.1s to type .ef

So i see this happening alot lately when im dive bombing tanks, which i love to do.

Id like to know why people are afraid of getting a bomb dropped on them, all they can do after getting killed is up again and drive another 300 yards to the same position. btw the tanks i dropped on were not even perked vehicles, i could understand then, but on a base where can you drive back to your same position it is ridiculous and also annoying.
thanks for listening, RedTail
Im not sure about the situation when this happend, however when im in a good tank battle and bomb****s appear and start dropping bombs on tanks without even trying to take out the vh's ill gladly .ef out everytime to try and deny the bomber a kill.

If he keeps doing it play along or something its aces high bulletin board, you can flame all you like on his threads, no one stoppin you. Go ahead, just dont get in trouble or look like a fool. Salute have fun, dont worry. I dont post threads to hear some people whine about people flaming them. Ignore them.

Might be a nice addition to make it so tankers sitting on pavement must wait 10 seconds from when they .ef and to when they exit. It would really make it difficult to end the flight based on the noise of dropping bombs and really isn't that long to wait.
and remove GV icons :aok make that jabbo look a little harder for it :rock

So i see this happening alot lately when im dive bombing tanks, which i love to do. Ive had it happen to me a few times where i would drop a bomb and look back at the target and before the bomb would hit the tank the player would eject from the tank, causing me be frustrated of what i just saw. :furious Yes you can call this complaining or whining and you can flame this thread all you like (because i know you will), but this can't be happening just to me. i know this happens to other people. Id like to know why people are afraid of getting a bomb dropped on them, all they can do after getting killed is up again and drive another 300 yards to the same position. btw the tanks i dropped on were not even perked vehicles, i could understand then, but on a base where can you drive back to your same position it is ridiculous and also annoying.
thanks for listening, RedTail
I agree with you. It dose get frustrated when some ppl .ef from a GV before your bomb gets them. Here are some things that i do:
1) it is best to come down on top of them, 90 degree anage attack. most of the time they do not see you coming in and you have a greater chance of getting a kill.
2) (this is a four part) if Gv is on concret, you can either:
a. bomb them if they are moving. they can not .ef while moving.
b. If in flack and shooting at somebody, a good way to get them while distracted.
c. If firing on you, learn when to released your bomb at higher alt, they will be to busy trying to get you and not react fast enough to .ef
d. You can always do a fake drop and force them to .ef
3) to save using your ords, learn to used your guns to take out their guns. you have a better chance getting more kills.

ifthe guy dropping a bomb is not getting a "free kill", hes heavy and low alt in enemy airspace which means hes easy meat for auto/manned ack, wirbles and enemy fighters. nothing free about it.
not necessarily.. he may be (and often is) a formation or 3 of lancs at 15-20k just carpet bombing a base.
the logical extension of "you should stay in your vehicle and get bombed" is "you should reup and get bombed again".. Is it not? same for vulchers/vulchee, spawn camper/campee.. They should just keep feeding free kills because it's the honorable thing to do?

this one is nearly as bad as the cv hiding one.

But yet, you seem to be the only person commenting to Ack-Acks remarks. Why is that?

Akak calls them as he sees them. Trust me, I know ;) And he is usually right on the money anyway. Best to take what he says and try to make good with it. Improve.

The whines from your kind are music to the ears and if bombing your GV will make you cry like you're crying on the forums now, beware of the P-38J lugging bombs.
As for the people calling me a troll, look who they are. They (like you) are considered to be amongst the most timid and lamest players, so it seems that you will fit in nicely with your buddies. Enjoy.

If I am in a wurble, I never tower when the bombs whistle. If I am on concrete in a tank and some guy is clearly just looking for free tank kills, and not trying to kill the VH, I may just tower out and not give him the pleasure of a free kill. If the VH is down, I stay until they kill me...If a few Bulletin Board warriors do not like it, I really dont care. They do not pay my subscription... My point was clear.
Your point being you play the way you want regardless. So why do you have any expectations of anyone else with that mentality? And why do you take the time to comment?
Sounds like your squaddie last night who sank the carrier at the only fight on the map. When asked why he wrecked the fight, his response was 'that's what I do."
Kinda says alot don't you think?

It can be annoying when ppl .ef before a bomb kills them.
It's also annoying having a gv fight and getting bombed. Works both ways, especially when there's other eny planes in the area. The only advantage a gver gets is on his own turf. When he's attacking he's fair bait/ i mean game. Whine away!

I love tanking and I love killing tanks. As I said before I try not to take the cheap way out and tower after a bomb(s) is dropped towards me. Half the time I make it and survive. A quarter of the time I dont survive....the other 25% consists of the guy dropping bombs on me augering or me getting damaged but still being able to fight.
I think from my perspective that there is an element of the game that is benifited when I stick it out and either get killed or end up surviving the attack, with or without a kill. When I tower out I feel like I am going against what the game is all about.......you know, what part of the game is furthered when I take the cheap easy way out and simply .ef before I am killed?
So, in summary: Play the game honestly. If a guy has worked himself into a position where I am in danger of his attack then he deserves a chance to kill me.

no it aint.
in fact it's quite easy.

I rarely do this. I just suck it up and either try to move fast or hope the attacker drops too wide or too low.
Bailing from a tank is the same to me as someone who bails from their LANCs the moment they are done dropping bombs. It cheapens the entire experience.
No, to me bombing a ground battle for the sake of just being a bombering twit is the lamest form. Lamer than all your petty cries of people ho-tarding you.
