Vinkman is right - this is not war, this is a game, and if the game allows people to dive bomb you in Lancs or to do other 'unrealistic' things that make your blood boil, then you have to either counter that (air support?) or suck it up and take your beating like a man
expecting hundreds of random people on the internet to play in 'historical context' is hilariously misguided
I hope you don't think I meant that folks should "play in an historical context."
I mean your statement about not upping a gv without air support is a plan for not having a game. A person can't control whether they have air support because they can't control "hundreds random people on the internet" to provide that support any more than can to stop bomb tards. The answer to bomb****ing is not to bring you own plane. It's to make bombing harder. The reason it's called bomb"tarding" is because it's so easy a "tard" can do it. It's free kills for the fighter pilot with an egg.
If folks follow your solution, there won't be any GV fights as soon as a plane shows up. That will be fun for everyone won't it?
It's a computer game. Anything is possible. Instead of the answer being "don't play." Perhaps a small change would make the game fun for everyone so play would expand.
Easy peazy bomb tarding by fighters, and Camping GV spawns are serious game-play flaws in the game design. They should be addressed. Until then, folks point out these ducks-in-a-barrel scenarios in the hope that people will learn to respect their opponents, and play in a style that promotes fun for everyone.
But there are simply too many people who think
irritating people is the fun. Which is why these things need to be fixed in the code.
