Title: Bomber Defensive Gunnery
Post by: LLogann on January 18, 2011, 05:33:18 PM
Ok all you British cigarettes.............  It's time to rehash this issue. 

In a nutshell.... All the 0500 bombers will now have a harder time being #1 for being in some other part of the world. 

Defending your buff's is sometimes a far more important characteristic then the bombing itself....  Afterall, you do need to reach your target.

Defensive kills currently do not count towards your score, only perk points. 

Please add another Bomber Scoring Cat:
Defensive Kills

Make it not as valuable as bombing kills but they should count nonetheless.


Because when it comes right down to it....... 

Myself & 999000 are going to reach their target and bomb successfully, even with four or five enemy fighter 2k away, whereas many times the buff pilot never makes it to target. 

Unless you want to totally get rid of score, why shouldn't it be included as it may just be the most important part about bombing.

Fantastic idea.....

On the down side...People would up bombers in the middle of a furball and act as a gunship, gather 2 or 3 kills and die....

I like upping from capped fields in B-17s or 26s.  Its pretty easy to uncap a field in a couple attempts.

I disagree.  Deathstar is one of my favorite things to do when a horde gets too lame to be any fun in a fighter

Completely different!!!  Il2s you have to turn and shoot...same with the A20s....Bombers you just stay levelled or climbed out and fire!!
