Bomber Defensive Scoring
« on: June 10, 2009, 09:28:18 AM »
Defending your buff's is sometimes a far more important characteristic then the bombing itself....  Afterall, you do need to reach your target.

Defensive kills currently do not count towards your score, only perk points. 

Please add another Bomber Scoring Cat:
Defensive Kills

Make it not as valuable as bombing kills but they should count nonetheless.
See Rule #4

I'm all up for it, defending your bomber is a true art, and should be rewarded (besides the satisfaction of seeing that high perked fighter tumbling down) :D

I am all for it.  Give them some credit when bombers defend their planes well.  You know this will have 999000 drewling don't you? :uhoh

Either that or just add them to the overall score.  A kill is a kill.

And when you have enough defensive points, you can buy bigger guns for your bomber :D

I agree...
You should be rewarded for killing that spitsteen that chases you for 3 sectors and dies in one burst or shooting down 4 of the blood thirsty horde of cons looking for an "easy kill." :salute

Roger that, I can't count the amount of planes I've had chase me for practically an hour all the way up to 36k just to get smoked.  To add to this thread, I believe the pilot of the fighter should get something for his efforts too..... like a giant middle finger flashing across his screene.   :rofl

Oh and yes, I hope red420 does come through here and sees himself getting owned by a drunk buff pilot.

Great idea!!!!!!    Gotta love killing 262's while  in Lancasters and Ki-67's.  This should be a ranking category in bombers for fighter kills. :aok

I can get on-board with this IF FORMATIONS GET PERKED!  If you want to get a score for shooting bandits, then it should be for a solo BUFF.

Really... shooting down your average MA 'interceptor' is childishly easy with formations.

No way...  You open the door for the proper destroyers like the Mossie, 110G, Ta152, etc, to totally decimate bombers.  You're setting the balance at +- the 109G14's level, and perking formations (the real balance against proper destroyers) but not the above bomber killers.  That doesn't work.  No one will fly bombers anymore.
