Bomb and Bail

[Zimme83]

It's no point of intercepting bombers after the drop, then the damage is already done. Its has to be done before the damage is done. And if they then bail when intercepted then mission completed, Although annoying its good to know that the 30 k bailer had spent over an hour to climb that high and have nothing to show for it. So make sure that you intercept him before he reaches his target..

Even if he drops before I get there he don't get a free pass back to his base.. The end

Yup.  If for no other reason than practice.  Also, you never know if he dropped it all or if he's still got something else he's planning to hit.

I agree.

another course of action is to arrive below radar when they are landing because you can often get into proxy range before they see you.

lol good idea I'll take a proxy from a bail any day

Well taking proxy after target is destroyed is like taking credit for a race that you did not run but was present. But for those that need ribbons for being some where at the right time then congrats and enjoy your awesomeness.

If an enemy takes the time to get within 5K of the bombers.  They deserve the proxy kills if the bomber takes the easy way out and bails. Win win for both players.

Again... attrition warfare.

Getting kills is the the least important thing we do in this game. There is an endless supply of Fighters, Bombers and Armor at all bases.

Having better ACM skills or good gunnery skills as little effect on the game.... having a horde of players, that has an effect on a battle not kills.

In combat being a killer is important, but so is survival. Shooting down planes should be important, getting your plane home again should be just as important.

Letting bombers get home to land safely sends the wrong message.

Letting bombers survive who leave the map to sneak to thier target is a non-option.

I will say that getting kills is the only reason I play the game hehe. It's very important. If I take the time to roll to go kill a set of bombers, they better fight me and not take the easy way out and bail. If I get the kills from them not trying to fight, I'd be somewhat satisfied at least. That being said, bombers are freaking nasty and dangerous in this game. Once you learn how to aim right and know the gun positions, you will actually have a pretty good chance at surviving.
