No.   He's too old to  be able to do anything with it anyway.

You do know that gyrene and I are pretty much the same age and that I am about the median age of this community, don't you?

Situational awareness, pup. 

Besides, my wife's vageegee is certainly better than anything you could offer.

Gyrene doesn't act like an old ninny,  and neither do the majority of our older members.   You should take notes.

Lynx when he played said something like this from what I recall in regards to this issue.

"Flight leader to flight.
OK chaps Berlin directly below.
Every one jump."

Always stuck in my mind for some reason.

Totally agree on this : Lame tactic to bail after drop.

In either case, the player should receive ZERO for his mission!

[zack1234]

you lose 1000 perks if you bail would sort it out

Instead of "punishing" the bomb & bail tards, all I ask for is that we have Me163s available where ever the strats move to (forward or rear).   

Gives defenders a chance to defend the strats.  And at a cost, so to speak however, also gives defenders a chance to intercept the bombers before they drop on strats and then bail...

I really think it is a simple solution to an age old problem...

Any thoughts?

There is scuttlebutt going around that "bailers" are becoming more common.  That is, players who drop their ordnance and then immediately hit the silk.  While the full range of the effects of this behavior may be debatable, one thing is certain: it neither encourages nor prolongs combat.  In fact, the result is just the opposite: combat abruptly stops.  And so I present herewith a modest proposal d'encourager les combats:

If a player bails out within <variable> seconds of having released ordnance, that player will subsequently be required to wait in the tower for

  ( <variable> * ( 1 + <undamaged_planes> ) )  =  <launch_delay>

seconds before he will be able to launch another sortie.  

The <undamaged_planes> value will be initialized to zero and incremented by one for each of the player's aircraft (or drones) that is completely untouched by enemy fire at the time of the bail-out.

A reasonable value for <variable> might be something like "60".

This habit is just out of hand in Mid war an entire squad takes out AAA strats then all bail. Then do nothing except try to takes bases all night long after de-acking them. If they bail a penalty of some sort is in order.

1 minute for every crew member of said formation of that aircraft times three stuck in the tower maybe?

Something please.
