tank main gun shooting planes down.

I don't think you guys get it, its not like HTC wouldn't think of modelling the commander, it was made that way to make things easier for guys in GVs much like Sups and Wirbles minus a crew, icons etc.

There has been one major reason for adapting the commander position system we do have now: Less workload for HTC to model new GV's.

I guess the bigger question is what happens when the guys playing predominately in GVs outnumber the plane guys?

There is no indication that we will see this happen unless the whole game, in all aspects, would go through some fundamental changes surpassing everything we have seen in the past 15 years.

The only aircraft I can see at GV bases would be the Stork, 87G and the HurriD. nothing too bonkers.

[dirtdart]

Nope. Just because you don't understand my position doesn't make it flawed.

Commander = pilot in bomber

Lots of other guys in a bomber other than the pilot, but it the pilot takes a direct hit, you're dead. Towered.

Should be the same in a GV, in my opinion.

Disagree.

Big difference between a pilot at the controls of an aircraft and a gunner and driver. If the tc dies, big deal you can still fight. If the pilot dies you are all screwed.

Where's our Co-pilot?

Then I revert back to my original position: GV commander dead, then you go on fighting...from the main gun position.

That's why we need Tank busters at GV bases  Put planes back in the GV Game!  

Look the Gv'ers are a lazy bunch they most would rather just sit at some spawn blasting away <why take the base when there coming to us> what difference does it make if planes are there or not?

 

Sounds like someone is too lazy to spend 5 minutes flying to a GV base to me, kinda.  I could be wrong though.  Maybe you only have an hour to live and want to get in as many sorties as possible before your shed your earthly bonds.

Zoney has apparently never flown an entire sector in a JU87.....

When you take off you're like   then you're   and then a half hour later you finally get there and you're

Sorry Zoney, gotta agree with Reaper.  Flying a tankbuster any more than... well honestly to town takes a long, long time.

Fair enough.  I'm just used to not worrying about how much time I'm taking to get to do what I want.  Climbing to alt to be in a position to intercept and therefore defend a base has never been a problem.  I think of the time as an investment that is paid back with fun.  I think if I could air spawn and not have to climb to intercept the reward would not be the same because I have risked less as the time invested is now at risk.

Yeah but with the tank busters you're putt putting along in the weeds at 200mph with a depressingly short clip.  Far too many threats to run into on the way there to make it worthwhile.  I wouldn't do it unless I had an extraordinarily good reason to do so.

For me in aerial combat even from an extreme disadvantage I still feel I will always have a chance to give a good account of myself and at least make them work for the kill, but this camping...its just text on a screen, worthless, death is the life blood of Aces High, in order that others enjoy the game we all have to die to varying degrees of course, I personally feel GVing fits with a culture of no risk to me please, that is non participation in the game in my eyes.

What wisdom 

[bustr]

For the T-34, Tiger, Tiger II and Panther tanks you need to aim at the top of the engine compartment, ideally where the turret ring is but usually on top of the engine compartment is enough to get a kill in a single shot with the B-25H.

ack-ack

OK ack-ack I'll test this for one shot "utility". Against undamaged tanks. I wish you had given your dive angle. I performed a 45 degree dive on the Panther's rear with the 410 BK 5. Ended up with the light saber ricochet rather than an exploding 50mm Mine shell explosion for some reason. Also ended up dead in the ground attempting to recover from the dive.

I'm going to have to make a short range one shot tank busting gunsight for the B-25H. I doub't shooting at tanks anyone needs to know at 4000yds the 75mm HE from 3000ft altitude drops 353yds(1059ft) or 88Mil. And takes 9 seconds to hit the target. But then that's why the reflector glass in the B-25H is so long to respond to that large tilt dial moving the pipper down 88Mil.

If I Gv'ed I could prolly die 50-100 times in that same hour.

Put the planes where they belong
