Bomb and Bail

[guncrasher]

Make the bailed planes "live" through a slow 200mph dive until they hit the ground.

Sure, it will cause kill stealers to go into steal mode but radio comms usually can keep that from getting out of hand.

I climbed to 15k heading to a base, squad calls noe, I bail and now it takes me minutes to go help.

The plane stays live.......you can go do what was more important.

The plane can recieve pepperidge until it hits the ground and the kill counts against you.

You get to hear the pepperidge as you contemplate whether bailing was more important than staying with the plane.

KInda like the old warbirds .shanghai thing.

Bailing to go on a mission or to help do something else is one thing, but to bail to keep from getting shot down is another.

I think most bail cause they want to bomb and not fight. They have no clue that you can do that all day long offline.

Theyd prolly stop doing it if they knew the enemy 5K from them will get the kill anyway. For record, bailing like this does not help your score at all. You'd be better off trying to kill the guy, and only landing with one bomber. It appears that bombers can get away with this mostly out of spite knowing the enemy won't get the kill.

And yet crickets from HTC on this.  Mind boggling.

Because it's not really a problem.

Bravo haven I tore you airplane up and by miracle you crashed and you were able to get a ditch denying me a kill and we both laughed about it.

You don't see me coming here asking hi-tech to change the code.  And I see situations like that everyday.

For every encounter like that I get tired or four bailers.  Usually after I have wasted empty minutes chasing them.   It IS a problem.

If it were me, I'd just make it so proxies go to the closest enemy within render range regardless, and proxies would be worth perks.  Then all you're doing by bailing is giving some free kills to the interceptor.

One easy solution:  If it troubles a person to chase a bomber, only to have the bomber pilot bail before combat....stop chasing bombers.  Problem solved!

Stopping playing the game is always a viable option.  Some of us to varying degrees would prefer not to though.

The problem is I'm one of these odd farts that likes to be engaged and I get disappointed when I loiter around behind enemy lines sometimes for a hour or more but no one tries to intercept me.

Do what I do.  Announce your presence and position.  Generally you'll get at least one taker.
