« Last post by Animl-AW on Today at 12:43:20 PM »I'm happy to pay half at the pump even if that's the only reduction in price I see. It won't be.
Agreed, but it won’t change my life, unless I was still working and commuting.
The 2017(?) “ Tax Cuts” (scam) made it so I could no longer deduct it. But since I’m not traveling much I don’t and won’t even feel it.
There are always peaks and valleys, but in economics the peaks rately return to the same valley. They just go two steps firward one step back. Once they think you’re used to it the fall doesn’t happen.
Tariffs are a funneling device, you pay, they (politicians) take. Thats like asking them to give themselves a pay cut.
We’ll see, I’d love to be wrong. It may re-rack my view of humans.

Aces High General Discussion / Re: Highest Damage in 1 Sortie in a Bomber?
« Last post by Lusche on Today at 12:03:50 PM »I'm not sure what my damage would have been on this but I found one from tour 281 where I did 2 sorties with a bomber (one was a base capture) and got:
Just as a general reminder: The damage points displayed at landing in the arena (this is what OP is talking about) and those on the scoresheet are not the same. In fact, they are only remotely connected to each other and not directly comparable. Player A can have a sortie with much higher "displayed damage" but much less score damage than Player B.

Once you build up muscle memory in those areas and can do it effectively no matter what direction you come in at the target start practicing gunnery like I do. Within a few months you will be a force to contend with in this game.
