OK, maybe I've been confused about the way kills are awarded, but I thought I was pretty sure that to tower and not give away a kill with an enemy GV or aircraft as close as 400 away, you had to be sitting on concrete.
3 times I had eggs in the air, bomb crater exactly where the enemy GV had been sitting while camping our spawn, and 3 times he towered after bombs were released, no kill.
bug or am I not correct about how that works?
-
If you filmed it send it to HT. You should have got the kills.
-
I have film of the 3rd time, it was the same guy all 3 times I'm pretty sure.
-
He didn't get a land, he got a ditch. Or was he landing kills?
-
agreed with drane,unless he was sitting on concrete either in town or on the base------even if you was not attacking and just passing by, you should have gotten the kill.
how close were you by the way??????????
-
is it possible a friendly had a ping on him and when he towered, they got the kill or were closer for a proxy?
-
only 1 friendly nearby, he didn't get kill either. I released eggs at 400 all 3 passes.
-
So the bombs hadn't hit yet? Doesn't that just generate a capture/ditch on an undamaged GV, with no 'kill' awarded to anybody?

A spawn camper is usually in friendly territory when conducting his business. That means, the worst he can get when towering out (and being undamaged at that moment) is a 'ditch'.

I believe Snailman is right. I should have read your post more carefully.

Upon further thought, I knew that. :bhead
A real chickenshat part of the game, that ought to be changed. camping is cheesy enough, towering to keep from getting killed, meh.
10 second delay to tower in a GV, I say.

Is not 400 a little low to drop? Did they detonate? :headscratch:

He didn't say he did drop from 400 :old:

It's 1000 feet travel distance, not altitude. If he was going fast enough it could have travelled the 1000' to arm.

Perhaps your bombs weren't armed.
-

Actually, he did :o

I always drop at around 400m, fast, shallow dive. All bombs detonated, left huge craters in almost the exact spot the T34's were sitting.
Bombs only need what, 1000 feet to arm? do the math, way more than 1200 feet of flight from release to impact, 1000kg bomb it's hard to miss. HARD pull up immediately after release.

I'll strike this one up as another cheesy concession to the GVer's, magical "escape death powers" to allow them to spawn camp with very little risk.

I think you may be reading too much into this. That's a subsequent interpretation, but not necessarily the original intention
-
Regardless of the intent, that's exactly how it's being used. The fact that it's not changed, IMO, is the concession.

A 'concession' that also works in favor of planes when ditching in friendly territory with massive damage, thus denying the enemy a kill. ;)
-
The plane has to be 3.5k or further for him to get a ditch or he records a capture and a kill is awarded.
Most likely he had some hits on him and that player got the kill as already mentioned.
:salute

Nope. Only friendly in the area said he didn't even see him, never fired. He towered after 1st drop, respawned, immediately towered as I released 2nd and 3rd time. Friendly GV never fired his gun.

5-Second Despawn Counter = Problem solved
Gets rid of the "concrete sitter syndrome" also.

Is it possible the T-34 launched counter measures?

One addition to that- once you start it, no ability to cancel it midway through so people can't hit it before the plane drops and cancel if he doesn't.

a bomb has to travel 800 ft.minimum to explode--either straight down--or at an angle..anything shorter than 800 ft. it won't explode. :joystick:
-
If I am not mistaken if you tower with and enemy within 1.5k of you he gets the kill, you should have gotten the kill if you were that close to him.
-
If I am not mistaken
You are mistaken.
In friendly territory, an undamaged GV can always tower out without anyone getting a kill. If any enemy is present, it's a 'ditch', if not, a "landed".
On concrete (in friendly territory), you can always land no matter what.
Firendly territory = closest base to your current position is a friendly one.

I agree with that crazy lunatic :D :D :D

1000 ft.

Is it AH or is it all games with this much happening where so many experienced players don't know so many specs on how things work? Not exempting myself either. Seems like once or twice a week I come across something really basic that I should know or that I thought I knew but was wrong.

I agree but it's like upping at a capped field. You know they're there....

Which should also be done away with. RL aircraft so badly damaged that they crash landed were considered kills.

..my apologies.
I don't see any need for an apology :old:

Lets do field supplies and if they need to be dropped on concrete next :D

:rofl bomb**** complaining about a missed kill! :rofl :rofl Better luck next time! :cheers:

Well, not so much complaining about a lack of a kill as much as I thought there was something else going on, but I forgot about the fact that aircraft aren't included in the rule that you have to be farther than 6k away from a con to tower a gv safely.
And yes, I will bomb**** the crap out of spawn campers. :)
-
lol 6 formations of lancasters can break up a spawn camp

They are included ;)
