I hate the standard Bish bomber tactic of flying bombers to the target and if there is a fighter present that might shoot them, they bail. I film all my flights so I think we should have a cowards roll call here in the forum.
Tonight it was oKATHISo who bailed his lancs at the Knights strats when I finally got to altitude and was 3k behind him. Clever, that way you cant get a proxy either.
What I would really like to see HTC do is change it so that if you bail when you have not been hit by anything and you still have any fuel at all, you receive nothing. No damage points, no perks. In WWII, you bailed out over enemy territory and you didn't get home until the war was over. And of course, there were no awards for bailing out. You mean you bailed out of a perfectly good airplane with no damage with plenty of fuel left?? Your flying days are over!
I've had bombers bail at ~6k and got proxies on them, and I've had others at less than 3K bail and no proxy. I don't really care about the proxy for score, but it does function as somewhat of a deterrent to doing so. However, I do like that idea of not giving them any perks for doing so, maybe that would stop the frequency a bit. What is odd is lately the proxies seem to be much less in these situations than in the past. Up until ~3 weeks ago, it seemed like I nearly always got them on bailing bombers up to ~6k. Much less frequently lately, anyone know why?
On topic, I guess if what is being said here is correct, than I guess were the blondes so to speak of AH, maybe we're "dumb" or "stupid" in others opinions, but we definitely have more fun. Troops can't kill anything, so it's possible no one wants to bring them??? Two words I've never seen in Knight chat buffer: "Mission UP." For all of those that have never been Bish, that means join the mission you mindless sheep. It's more like this: "anyone want to do a mission?", 3 minutes go by with no answer...Ok, well I tried. The fact is not giving a rats about the war allows everyone to fly what they want, and do what they want. On the blue moon that I've seen us win a map over the past 8 months, what follows is; oh wow we won! No way! Ok back to business...no one regroups or cares to. It would seem that we like being individuals and teamwork is exhausting. And no doubt when you have to get 15-30 ppl together doing something collectively when they are used to doing whatever it is they want, yes that is exhausting. In summary, I believe Knights find focusing on the war boring; why shouldn't they? What more to it is there than, numerous up hvy, bomb town, keep cap, run troops, congratulate, & repeat, repeat, & repeat...
