Seeing as how the word police filter waters down and sometimes entirely changes the meaning of your posts, is there an acceptable succinct term that will can be used to describe the "A-20/Lancstuka-pilot-whose-only-mission-in-thisgame-is-to-ruin-GVer's-fun"? Just askin. :salute Nish

bomb****?
:P
That's kind of funny though.
BT filters as bomber.

Wow, I had no idea simply adding a hyphen would somehow make it more pallettable to the PC gods..... go figure. :headscratch
-
An A20 is an attack aircraft. What would you expect it to attack if GV's are not appropriate. :headscratch:
-
The aviation term would be "Mud Mover" and his target is known as a "Mud Puddle" due to what leaks out after the bomb hits. :D :bolt:
-
Oh I dunno, ships, airfields, towns..... heck, I don't even have a problem with them being used to break up a camped spawn. But when the A 20 driver's only mission and only way of getting kills is to lurk over a heated GV battlefield dropping 1000 pounders on tanks who have virtually no way of defending themselves..... Sorry, I fail to see the sport in that.

What prevented you, or your country, teammates, squaddies, friends, or anyone else from upping a fighter to deal with it?

the fact that we run out of bullets before they stop coming.

Not a thing, I see it happen quite often.... and we always cheer when the bomb**** does up as a smoking hole in the ground. :banana: Now my question to you is what challenge or sport is there in dropping bombs on the heads of those who can't fight back? My only issue is with those who won't challenge themselves in their approach to the game. For example, I have zero problem with attack plane's being used to blunt a GV attack on a base/town/port but I think it says a lot about the gamer who upps an A 20 for the sole purpose of getting easy kills over a obvious tank playground.

I know, who would want to get easy kills!? I can't believe that people would do that to you in a computer game. It's shocking. People are usually so honourable, honest and sporting on the internet...
:headscratch:

I get your sarcasm, but I been at this long enough to realize these types will always show up, but should I give up hope that they will ever see the err of their ways?

You're in the MA which makes you a fair target no matter what you're in. If you don't like having your GV bombed then make sure you've got some buddies to spawn some AA vehicles or fly air cover. Silly crying about being bombed in a war game.
ack-ack
-
I suppose if I were "crying" about ANYTHING in this game or any other game.... it WOULD be silly, but I'll leave your smelly bait on the hook for others and just continue to chuckle at how you had your mess knocked in the dirt as you attempted to tell the OP in another thread what HIS intent was.

I like attacking bombers in a Typhoon :old:

I very much enjoy GV bombing sorties in the MA. One of my favorite things to do, actually.

I like attacking bombers with P-47s, FW190A8s, and BF110G2s with the big guns. Sometimes I like to hit bombers with my lasagna guided missiles. :old:

If you bail straight away after bombing GVs without allowing yourself to be attacked should invoke 1000 perks being taken off your points :)

An attack plane attacking a tank OH THE HORROR.

I enjoy bombing gvs just to get the whines on 200 and on here. As George Bush said (a wee bit prematurely) "Mission Accomplished". :aok

bomb****s and tankers will never be able to agree. A lot of players do both and are aware of how it sucks to get dropped on, but it is part of life.
Get another free tank, get back to your uber position and start again.

Disclaimer to Add to Boxed Version of Aces High:The potential exists for you to be bombed if you up a vehicle anywhere in the Late War Arena. :aok
Not just the Late War arena. Believe it or not there are other arenas...and bomb****s in all of them. If people are upset that much by getting bombed in an anything-goes arena, they can spawn up their own custom arena and ground all planes everywhere for a pure GV-only fight.
If there are GV's taking down a town, depending on my mood and circumstance I'll either up a plane with bombs or a GV. If they're just out there fighting other GV's, I'll up a GV and join in; many times the hunt is more exciting than the kill.
-
Dont want to be bothered up ask for someone to up a flakker and get gv perkies
EDIT: also you can pork ordnance, most people just quit attacking you when ordnance is out, that is when I will show up with the can opener :P

Noted Dot. I must say I'll leave them alone at a spawn battle 99% of the time, and usually bomb those attacking a base or camping a spawn. Looks like we both agree that there is no safety net out there. If you up a plane or a vehicle, you can and will be in danger of attack by red icon guys. Maybe we should perk red icon guys? :D
-

I think far better would be to put the blanket statement in 'If you up any vehicle in the Main Arenas, people will destroy it in ways you may not feel are sporting or fair. This is part of the game.'

I see that the word police filter has been updated and the hyphenated version is not pallettable to the PC gods after all. So I'll ask the PC gods for an answer to the original question, since the thread apparently needs to be refocused.
-
no need for the attempt at obsfucation, your whine thread has been observed and logged with the hundreds of others on the exact same subject :aok
-
No obfuscation here, just a desire to have an acceptable term for future reference, and sorry "bomber pilot" isn't nearly specific enough. Don't presume to know my intent, for I know the subject has been discussed ad nauseum, but did allow myself to drawn into the age old debate if for no other reason but to have my position stated for the record.
-
Jabos
maybe not the best term but is something going the way of what you mean.

I call em " favorite target". <Love to pick off the bastagesWith -1hog as they come in to ruin GV fight!
The GV guys tend to dig it. OUR GV guys, that is :D

I like to Lankstuka GVs because they whine so much.
In fact, OP- you've motivated me to call into work today to go ruin some GV fun. Thanks!
-
Once the GV'ers quit attacking air bases then I will approach the bombers and begin discussions on the matter.
Let me know when you get everyone on board.

i might need to come back just to bomb gv's.

I believe that term you are looking for is "jamdive".

I bail my tank out when I hear the bombs coming :). should I be penalized 1k perks too? hell I bail my bombers when I see grizz coming in his 262 :uhoh.

GV's are only there for aircraft to have targets. If you do not want to be a ground target for an aircraft, GET IN A PLANE !
I gotta agree with Whiteman on this, normally I do not interact with GV's, but everytime this complaint is repeated, I too wanna go bomb em!
-
But when the A 20 driver's only mission and only way of getting kills is to lurk over a heated GV battlefield dropping 1000 pounders on tanks who have virtually no way of defending themselves.....
Where'd you find an A20 with 1000lb bombs? I want in on that.

-
Fugitive.... Need something catchier, come on man, as creative as you are? ;) Doug..... I like the way you think. Since akak doesn't fly nearly enough or at a low enough alt when he does fly to be a suitable villain, I been thinking I need some "villains" in this game along the lines of what "strafers" were to me in my old game. They are the same ilk.... Gadfly's so desperately seeking attention they intentionally attempt to ruin others fun. A few of these "unwilling-to-challenge-themselves" types have already exposed themselves in this thread. Death to the gadflys, if it's WAR ye want, it's WAR ye shall have! Zoney.... I do far better in a plane than I do in a GV, so that may be some good advice. ;) In my defense, my poor GV stats more than anything reflect my tendency to try to break a spawn camp by spawning into it.

So let me get this straight . It's ok for someone to bomb me out of an 8inch gun on a cruiser and ruin my fun . But not ok for the same guy to bomb your tank ? Suck it up cupcake it's part of the game , don't like it bail whenever you see planes overhead .
-
WYO..... Apples and oranges "cupcake". I could see the equivocation if CV's and cruiser's weren't as adept at defending their airspace as they are, besides, you don't lose a thing statwise when you get bombed out of a 8 incher. It doesn't sting as much. :)
-
Way back when I was thrilled to think I could bomb and strafe GVs inhabited by real people. Just like when I take a buff unescorted and get creamed, tanks should have escorts of flaks to protect them. Without it you are just asking for it. Then people get chirpy and then just killing them over and over becomes sport because you know it pisses them off. After all, thats what this game is about.
-
Grizz.... :aok that could work.... I was thinkin "1traprr" or "GT101" but your's fits better. OOZ..... lol, just proof positive that I'm no hypocrite on the matter. The only time I've upped A20's is when the FH's down at a capped field.

I already stated my belief that GV's attacking a/f's are fair game. My beef is with bomb****'s who seek to disrupt known GV on GV playgrounds and purposely try to, in their own words "piss people off". Bottom line to all you unashamed gadfly's (not you Shuffler)..... fly how you wanna fly, it's your 15 bucks. Try to piss off as many people as it takes to garner the attention you so desperately seek. I just want you to know how it ups the ante for me in this game and how much pleasure and satisfaction I get out of repeatedly killing your ilk. I don't presume to think that "my respect" means or amounts to a hill of beans to anyone in this game, much less the proud gadfly.... but I lose all respect for those who intentionally try to piss off as many as they can. GAME ON!

If you guys consulted the "Oxford English" version of our beloved language instead of "Websters" you may find a better range of vocabulary yet to be neutered by the PC police.

In Russian Iron it's: "бомба тормозить" and don't ask me to pronounce that!

To quote your earlier post in this thread albeit with a sanitizing correction "no need for the attempt at obfuscation"
Out with it old boy, if you think me the proverbial Alice in your fable.... don't beat around the bush, have the nadgers to call me a whiner outright! If you deem simply stating your opinion.... "whining" I will simply say you are entitled to your opinion just as I'm entitled to mine and I will do as I was taught very early on in life and just consider the source..... Just as I did with akak's post

Look at my GV kills in the P-47D-25. Tell me why i can not used the Jug as it did in WWII? That goes for the same for the A-20, Il2, Stuka.

Perhaps you should take the time to read all posts in a thread before jumping to conclusions.
As I just attempted to say in my previous post.... it's up to you to decide whether or not I'm talking about you. Several have already proudly boasted in this thread that their goal is to piss others off, thusly qualifying themselves as bomb****'s.

39 kills in AA GVs is a good chunk of scalps. You don't seem to have a problem knocking aircraft down with GVs, but you dislike the opposite.
Most guys, I like to think. Don't play a certain way just to peev someone else. I bomb GVs because I think it is fun. If I knew it would honestly make someone mad, I wouldn't bomb that particular person. Most GV kills (I would estimate 90% or better) take place at spawns I would imagine. Where there are spawns, there are spawn campers. Spawn campers deserve to be bombed.

Why thank you, those were earned either defending an A/F from a swarm or trying to keep bomb****'s off of a nice Tank on Tank battle. :aok

Sounds to me as if the shoe doesn't fit you.

This is not always the case, sometimes it's just a see-saw battle with neither side really gaining the upper hand.... particularly where opposing spawns are close to each other (The tank playgrounds I've often referred to).
Spawn campers deserve to be bombed.
Couldn't agree more... make's them fair game IMO

well I do like having fun bringing a tank busting sortie to a hot gv battle... not using bombs and stuff, it is just fun and someone will bring a flak and I will try to stay off of its sight :uhoh it is just fun, to bad there is not many people that enjoy a long tank busting sortie to wing up. but so far I only got one complain about one guy and it is a guy everyone knows is one guy that gets mad at everything his opposite side or friendly side do

They are correctly termed perks, now go get some with that main gun, it makes it all worth while. As to my personal philosophy on the tards... they are an evil waste of good air when Im in a GV.
