People play this game as a single player, not a team based, game. They let goons die because they would rather furball someone who is no threat and get easy perks.
Since so few people protect goons, something must be done to insure this game remains team based and not a single player game, like many treat it.
So now we need to take some action:
Whenever a goon is shot down by an enemy fighter (not prox kiled or crashed) with all his troops, any friendly fighter plane within a half grid distance from him will lose 20 fighter perks. This is not ontop of what he already has made for the current sortie.
If a goon's troops enter a town that is not flaten, all bombers within half a grid lose 20 bomber perks. This is not ontop of what he already has made for the current sortie.
Maybe now people will start protecting the goons instead of worrying about a empty bomber who is smoking and 30k up.
If you do not like it, then I guess you do not like playing as a team, you like playing this game as a single player game instead.
Now goons will be very highly protected targets and fighters won't waste time on stupid toejam like they have been :)

I can see it is going to be difficult for Rude to select the WotW from field this time through.
And it's only Monday!
-
Cool, I'll start upping goons for base defense again.
-
some folks dont care about goons or field capture.
How about this every channel 1 whine or bbs whine you lose 20 perks. If you reach neg 40 then all you fly is goons.
-
you assume that everyone gives a hoot about base capture all of the time. Sometimes I would just rather furball to my hearts content, and its my money, so put that in your pipe and smoke it.:)
-
lol. Now THIS is funny.

::Yawn::
I haven't seen a whine as pathetic as this since i pulled the plug on my Grandad :D
-
I'm sorry to say, even though I feel more towards cooperative base-captures, some goons are just not worth protecting. Flying a goon needs skill, too.
The biggest factor in protecting goons is the pilot of the goon himself. I've gooned a lot for the Rooks. Most of the times I got shot down was by a some desperate Zero or a Spit which barged in through friendly fighter defenses in a suicidal manner. The times I've been shot down on my way to the target is extremely low. And I've flown to many perilous situations, not just 100% totally vuclhed bases. I've scored a lot of 'miraculous' gooning too.
Judging the situation correctly is a part of gooning skill. You can't just expect everyone to look after you all the time. Careful pre-planning and skill, I suggest you use those traits.

Well RoyofCa I was there during your screeching screaming take 32 diatrabe tonight and if I remeber correctly you called me a moron for joking about taking 44 while I was helping you with 32.
We had the majority working for 32 and were steadily taking bases....I don't think you would have been happy until every single one of us was doing exactly what you said. Ya know what, read Ammos post, unclench your damn sphincter, learn how to use the mission editor and then come back and give us a status report.
-
Btw RoyofCa, I didn't here much from you when I dragged that N1K off your goon.
-
Just how do you protect a goon? Does anybody have a full proof method?
It seems to me that a spotted goon is pretty much a dead goon.

I prefer to not have an escort.Someone may decide to engage the escort,and then see me,lol.
I would rather just try to sneak in.

Cast your vote for Roy!
The stupidest person in the Game!

yes deja, you fly a b17 directly above it (like i mean about 50 feet above it) highly dweeby and unrealistic, but it works.
btw roy, this is the dumbest thread i have ever seen with crappy ideas throughout the original post.

i agree with ya here loser. and anyone else that thinks this post is the most idiotic thing they have ever read.

Will you still lose points if the Goons crash while trying to ram your jet?

ROFLMAO
okay okay.... d/l "spanish flea" by herb albert and the tijuana brass
then play the song as you read roy's post....it is about 100 times more funny than it already is.
-
My score on this one???
It is sooo pathetic, I can't even give it a 1 :rolleyes:
Well, since there ain't no zeros, I give it a 0.05 :eek:
Just goes to show what happens to people who sniffed too much glue when they were kids :(

For the love of Country and God as my copilot I will make the ultimate sacrifice, to put my life on the line for honor and.......
Nahhh....
wit you ammo.. Let's kill somthin :D
Maybe...
Just maybe..
AN ENEMY GOON :eek:
There just so sloooooww and fat ;)
-
NoRoy, the flaw in your plan is the Goon driver has to get the perk points that all those incompatent fighter jocks and fluffers lose, I would have....err, several billion if HTC had adopted that idea awhile ago.
Look Roy, the C47 is clearly marked TARGET so just be prepared to die or stay out of it.
It is sweet if ya make it though, right?
As soon as we get our clone bombers and level the map the gooney drivers will get a break.

Darn tootin', Skippy! You want me to do different, you pony up my $15/mo.

hasn't it occurred to anyone of you that this guy RoyofCA is a troller? :)

LMFAO I damn near peed my pants :) Pure poetry
-
I think this guy has typed too many paragraphs to be a simple troller, looks like he has actually put some thought into it. The grammar and spelling are too precise...
-
No No No!
We gotta make it that you loose 20 perk points if you kill an enemy goon.....
:rolleyes:

signs of a dedicated and avid troller! :D
-
Truth be told once a goon is spotted by a high bandit there is very little one can do to save it . And escort fighters will do more harm than good .
-
I like this idea, and I think it could be taken even farther.
When anyone dies in anything, charge the nearest friendly 20 perks. After all its about teamwork, right?
If that friendly didn't save my stupid ass, he should pay!!
F.
-
Trust me FDutchman this is no troll...after listening to him screaming at and berating friendlies for 3 hours, it's obviuos this is the real deal.
-
Ok if anybody got a film were he is protecting succesfully a goon from a suicide La7 on her six....... I REALLY WANT TO SEE IT.
How should we protect a goon against a pilot who gives a f... on his life just to get the goon.
every1 myself included will go after the goon either if he dies too or not. Primary target in that case is the goon and nothing alse
-
What a great Idea.While were at it...if you die and no one gave you a check 6 all pilots in the area that had a visual of you that DIDnt give a check 6 must log off and go stand in the corner.If you do that 3 times in 2 days then your account will be closed and all left over funds will go to Hitechs Bribe fund.Who cares if the goon comes in when its not clear yet.Make those people pay for not catering to the goon pilots.Its teamwork or no work at all.
I think the Wine of the week has been locked.:rolleyes:
-
As you can see, I never post, but this has stuck in my craw.
For the last few days, while bish momentum was high and we were taking several bases relatively quickly, a couple of really bright folks would take a goon to a nearby enemy base and circle for 15 minutes while screaming "38 is empty, I need a fighter to hit the town!" ad nauseum. This is annoying in and of itself.
What's worse is having to suffer through their crying for the next half hour about how "We have no teamwork" and "you morons don't want to take bases".
No crying. Please. Shut up and fly.
-
DAMN SKIPPY, KSB666!!!! Let me know when you're in a goon Roy, I'll escort you with .50cals a blazing..............at your wing!
RUDE, this is BY FAR the Whine of the Week and a pathetic attempt to bring blame about friendlies.
You negated your "teamwork" statement by putting your frustrations first. If YOU were a team player Roy, you wouldn't have posted that roadkill. Don't preach teamwork in here and post mularkey about perk points!!!?
I'm the one that will go through a wall of fighters to bring goonies down, stupid? Some may say so, then again, I can care less about perks, and I'll be up in my fighter and crusing along while you are taking off from the grass in your goonie. Furthermore, supplies or troops are strained because of my stupidity.
Masher

Don't let us down Rude..!!!

Well let me tell it this way: For succesfull goon protection, prolly the most important factor is the goon pilot himself. From my own experience in MA so far goons when Attacked by enemy fighter do just fly straight and in most cases they don't even bother to make any evasives (although C47 in AH is capable of doing quite pretty stuff). Second thing is when you in mission and there are planes specificaly assigned to goon protection they should sty with goons and not to fly away to vulch field while goons get slaughtered by some goon pickers ;) (i love to pick goons...)
This whole thread is pretty stupid anyway. So saying it simple if you unable to protect your goon you wont get the capture... I think thats enough...
-
Nope.... cause.
1. only a skilled pilot can survive 3 or 4 zooms from some 1.
2. The main aspect to bring a goon into a town is unvisible for enema.
3. a spottet goon is a dead goon in 99%
-
stick a top turret on it with a rear firing gun. C47's (some russian and finnish ones) were armed with them in WW2. I think they were only rear firing though, not sure.
However... this post is hilarious. :D
-
you assume that everyone gives a hoot about base capture all of the time. Sometimes I would just rather furball to my hearts content, and its my money, so put that in your pipe and smoke it. :)
Well said, I don't give a damn about field capture most of the time, if I see a friend in trouble I try and save him no matter he's in a goon or fighter or bomber, if he throws my attack and atempt to assist him away by turning hard etc he might as well stay down there.

Hmmm, kind of unfair to the guy who tried and the gooney was shot down anyway. I can think of many scenarios where this can, and has happened. It seems to me, it is not the guy who tries you would want to apply this to but, the guy(s) who routinely ignore protection of Gooneys so he can get kills or avoid being killed to protect K/D.
-
I can see it now... country switchers that just want to make you lose as many perks as possible.
bad idea

LOL – this just after I read the other. Damn good morning I tell ya!

Roy, first off let me say, a mind is a terrible thing to waste. Now that said, you stated:
>>>Since so few people protect goons, something must be done to insure this game remains team based and not a single player game, like many treat it.
How about this, HTC should reprogram the "check 6" warning for goon pilots. When flying a goon and you see a con coming in you center the con just like you would a friendly for a check 6, but when you hit the key, all your fellow country players hear, "Whaaa, help me, help me, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, whaaaa". To really make if effective the recording should be made by a whiney 5 year old.

So now we need to take some action:
You MUST be a democrat. :rolleyes:

I'm going to go throw up now.

I'll say!
Why they just scream "kill me" when worn with plaid golfer pants.
Fortunately the striped goons are easier to mix and match with, especially late in the year due to the fall colors most everyone wear.

ROY CHEATS AND WHINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sit down

Heck yeah!
Somewhere I have a film of me doing loop after loop after loop in a C47. It was quite surprising how much you can do in that plane.
-
The fact is that most pilots can fly a goon, but dont know WHEN and WHERE to fly a goon. Part of flying a goon is the expectation of getting shot down. Why you think they give out so many perks for a capture?
:rolleyes:
