many fine points being made here,and while I would be considered a noob,I also consider myself to be pretty good at bombing..It is what I always do..I am not so great in a fighter plane I admit.And I could probably be better if I practiced more,but the fact of the matter is,that my connection lacks..What I mean is that I am on satellite link-up,and quite often when flying And working on getting another plane in my sight's.they will warp a bit due to the latency,but not always so I get some kills.But I do not like to take chance,so I BOMB...
For those of you who think bombing is easy for us..think about this..If I we want to get to 19-20K,we are going to have to have a high altitude base close to where we want to go,or we are going to be about 30 minutes minimum flying to our target...And for what??? So that someone in a 110 or 109 will more than likely be waiting for us there.yea I want to take out what I am aiming for,most of the time I do,and sometimes I miss one or two.So lets say I hit what I intended and I want to hit more..
so I turn....
Well if I do not turn slow enough my drones want to go torwards another base.lol
or high to left or right of the heavens.I am going to have to slow my turn enough for them to keep up,but I have accepted this..I think it is an ok problem I am willing to deal with.
Lets say I am over a furball,as it has been stated lances=easy kills usually,IF you know how to come at them...I have been killed easily by someone who KNOWS how to take them down.And if the BB's on a lance do knock you down out of the sky..you have some things to re-think about your way of attacking them..
And another thing to think about...If you are on my 6 and you knock out my tail-guns,and I have bombs left,and I HAVE to get my target..what am I to do?? I am going to fly that puppy to within an inch of its rated flying parameters..And I have to do this all the while trying to keep my drones with me..NO it is not easy by any means..
My last chance is to dive bomb my target,hoping I have my drones with me,and sometimes I dont,and hope and pray it hits the target...
Maybe the bombers do go faster in this game as opposed to real life.But are they really so fast that anyone who is smart enough to go up "TOP' of a base cant catch them?
See you in my bomb sight,
Kevin
