Suicide bombers and why

[Bodhi]

While you guys are here typing...Im stalking a CV to bomb   

(Kidding...been taking a 6 month break from the game! )

So...pray tell, what MAY a bomber pilot drop a bomb on that wont result in a 15 page whine on the BBS?  Trees? 

LePaul, I am not against them dropping on a cv, especially if the cv is being used to capture a base.  I really do not like the dive bombing heavies aspects... that is just an abhoration that needs to leave the game.

Trees are protected (AH is a green game).

You can't drop on open fields as this may be pristine sheep habitat, and there aren't many pristine sheep left.  If you drop bombs in open water you might accidentally kill a fish, which is also bad.

Actually I think the only safe place to put a bomb would be a Rook barracks.

Add me to the "TF58" CV model.  Gotta kill all of them to kill the task force...makes the CV groups a bit like airfields, and requires more than one bomber to shut them down.  With extra escorts and all those mannable 5" guns a CV group is something to worry about and non-trivial to destroy.

No argument from me, Bodhi

999 can vouch for my "bombing ethics"...no dive bombing em in here.  I actually climb to a nosebleed altitude, plot a long course and usually have someone flying escort. 

Then, I load the coffee maker, open the laptop and read FlyingMag online while the flight progreses 

The folks who auger in buffs like that tick me off.

I'm all for hitting a strategic target to help the team along.  I enjoy the challenge of trying to punch thru their defenses, if any bother to greet me.  Usually they are all over the buffer, belly aching that a buff at 16k has been circling overhead, dropping on them with accuracy (much to my surprise!).

Usally these defenders get on my 6, stay there, slowly climbingh up to me, making for an awesome target.  If I blast them, then they go on about the buff guns being over powered.  (rolls eyes)

Fun times

on one hand i agree with sloe......defend or find a new fight....simple    on the other hand, it's not like what the lancstukas do takes any skill, they don't fly level for miles getting the calibration just right......they fly in at 15k, dive straight down, and drop bombs at 2000 ft, sinking the CV dying in the process.  IMO, thats about as dweeby as it gets  $0.02

[TequilaChaser]

Like I already said.... I have never done anything like that in this game.  If you would stop chasin the tequila and read you would have already seen that comment. As for the way people treat me, I never had a problem with anyone till I mentioned that 30 bucks a month was a bad idea........

Fair enough,  beddog, just ribbing ya for singling out just 1 of several different opinionated views/possibilities to ressolve the issue at hand.  Did not really mean for it to drag on like it did.  The TequilaChaser tag came from my Service days and kind of stuck with me.  As we all get older and wiser, is good to have memories like the several in regards to my callsign.

see ya in the virtual skies....... ~S~

[beddog]

Thanks TC.   I would never support the fun spoilers. sorry for breakin your chops too.

It definetly sucks when there is good fight with CV near by or between two bases, only to have buff dweeb take out the FHs and/or VHs. I call em the FUn police though (subliminal messenges  )

A short wrap up-------------> SSDD   

[Furball]

Bombing is for sissies that can't fight other cartoon aeroplanes.  It is just a side show.  Kinda like baseball is for sissies who can't play football.

What motivates guys to do this



Do they think their  when they take one  for their team so's to speak  .  Or are they just a bunch of ?

Here's my theory.  Their basically lazy skilless gamey players.  Jelly fish have more back bone than these guys have talent.  So whys it allowed, all this CV suiciding, Vbase suiciding, hanger suiciding and town suiciding?  Couple of reasons come to mind.  If HTC actually coaded this out these guys would be screwed and leave.  If dive bombing heavies was out they'd be faced with actually learning something or doing it the hard way.  Clearly most haven't bothered or it's truly beyond their mental or physical capabilities.  It's their only contribution to the game.  The sole thing that keeps them here subscribing.  Their niche.  Take that away from them and what do they have left?  They have the realisation that they can't hack it    and it's no longer fun. .

Of cause we as player don't help when we give the "wtfg" to these guys.  They ain't clever so why should we congratulate them for a job poorly done.  I think this, for want of a better word, "tactic"!  reaches epidemic proportions at the weekends.

 One good thing about this tho.Its not the best angle of attack as they often cant line up on the target due to a one shot deal.I have infinetly more respect for the guys that sit at 20+ and circle to get a solution than these clowns.

[Rich46yo]

                        Anyone who would fly a bomber into a CV like that is worse then a dweeb. And AH ought to fix that entire dive bombing thing so it cant happen.
