Author Topic: Toolsheders vs Furballers a solution (Read 2249 times)

I'm all for toolsheders bombing their way to glory. Yet I'll never understand why they will knock out the FH's where the Furballers are happily minding their own business.

One solution would be to code the game where there is no Killshooter for buffs. If a toolsheder showed up to drop FH's at field just to kill the furball,
everybody could clobber them.

That would keep Toolsheders honestly on track with winning the war that's their bread and butter. Plus give all the furballers a better chance at enjoying their furball, which is their bread and butter.

If this idea has been brought up before, my apologies.

So as a buff pilot on my way to kill the FH's at the location of the furball, I can shoot down friendly planes as well as enemy planes that try to stop me????

Sounds good as long as I get credit for ALL the kills I rack up:aok

Sounds fair to me. Now if some smart johnny of a buff pilot decides to start shooting friendlys for the fun of it......... The vultchfest he had to endure his next takeoff would be his problem.

Cool...then I'm all for it then. I tend to launch buffs from the rear areas and climb out to 20K or so (kinda like they did it for real) so I wouldn't worry too much about some friendly furballer coming to look for me at takeoff. I'd be to far away from the furball to be of any interest to them. Of course I'm one of those rare guys that doesn't mind flying for a couple of hours on one mission, but that's just me.

~~If they do that, they're not furballers. They're baby shedders who havent graduated to the BIG AIRPWAIN yet.~~

Very good idea, I wish this was brought when toolshedding became a problem.

Here's something I posted in another thread:

When I first started here, and for a long time after, I used to go fly a buff out and take (or at least try to take) the hangers out at a field that was at one end of a "good fight". It wasn't to piss anyone off. I thought I was doing the right thing. If the fight was stalled between two bases and through bombing the enemy base our country could move forward then I had, in my mind, positively influenced the direction of the fight.

Even now it's sometimes hard to distinguish between a furball and a stalemate when flying over at altitude.

For the most part, I doubt most bomber pilots are trying to piss you off (although some may be), rather I think they consider themselves contributing to the cause.

If the intent isn't to work toward capture of an enemy base then bombers should be eliminated from the game for fear that you're ruining some fighter dudes fun.

Even if the base is taken the furball will redevelop in another location.
