Well first off, no, it's not smart to run this "mission" on any map.
Secondly, if your gunnery "was just fine" I'm pretty sure more of your bombers would have made it home or further in the mission, or at least not have had to fly of the map. You were in the most deadliest bombers in the game.
Thirdly, your squad has been in the game maybe 2 -3 years, most of you guys are still pretty much "new". I can tell by the fact that you still go for HQ even though it's pretty much the least strategic target on the map, and by the fact that most of y'all (not all) have level 2 out 10 ACM skills because most of y'all do not have much air combat experience in AH. Most of you are still learning the fine points of the game and the flight model. You've flown FSO for like maybe a year, compared to many of the people on these boards who have flown it for 7-15 years. Think about it.
That's why your mission got jumped.
That's why you flew off the map.
That's why most of you or all your bombers didn't make it home.
I wasn't "complaning" infact I was trying to be nice and provide some feedback from my long standing experience as to why your mission got vulched. You could have easily spotted it and rolled your mission from the other side of your territory thus giving your bombers a longer chance to get alt and outsmart the incoming planes who were already in route to vulch.
I was actually honoring your "attempt" as something fun for the game, but your remark ticked me off and reaks of "I know everything about missions so don't say chit". So I could care less about your squads success now, and will continue to enjoy shooting most of you down when ever I get the opportunity. All we have done is provide some experienced productive feedback about your mission and instead of using it to better your squad, you will still use the same noobish tactics and thus continue to be mediocre at the game.
We've been a squad for about eight years. I've been in the squad for about four. I could dig up old emails but you're not worth the time.
Our gunnery was just fine. We killed countless numbers of 152's, jugs, and 163's. The B-29 does have one of the best defensive gun packages in the game, But it means nothing when you're overwhelmed. You barley put a dent in us before we got over your strats and you upped at least 23 163's. I shot down five 163's and one 152. Our gunnery was just fine thank you very much.
Our ACM as a group is just fine. Sure we have some people who aren't aces but we do have some very good fighter pilots. Our squad isn't focused on ACM or fighters so you really can't talk crap. Our squad is about having fun and doing whatever we like.
The fact that you're crying about the HQ means that it is indeed a strategic target.
We've been flying FSO for a long time, usually with about 15 people. 8/8/2008 we had 9 people in FSO. Try again smart guy.
We got jumped because we made our mission public for a month before we launched it.
We flew off the map, as planned from the start.
Had had a few bombers make it home, Even less landed due to vulching on final. This was because there were at least 23 163's that upped to kill us. You barley touched us before we got within 163 range.
We know exactly what we're doing. In fact we knew there would be a horde of 163's, so we took out the fuel at the 163 base before our main mission got there. The fuel was resupplied before we got there too.
You complain about our mission, But you don't provide constructive criticism. You bash the 49ThFg, but you know nothing about it. I can't decide if you're a troll or an idiot.
