Need More Bombers

[Zoney]

Zero plays the game with class.  He doesn't whine after being shot down, he doesn't holler "Shade Accounts" when his buffs are discovered.

Thank you for leading by example sir.  It is always a pleasure to encounter you in the air.

Alright, Alright....I'll start flying bombers! <S>

That's not a bomber...it's a Death Star.

  Zoney. Sir, you are also a class act. On here and in the game.

I understand that some have no use for bombers. That's cool. I was drawn to this game because I was looking for WW one fights and stumbled into all this. Flying a fighter is still my first love when it comes to combat simulators, but I like most of the other aspects of the game. Frankly, I'm a better bomber pilot. I suck at all things GV, but I still enjoy it sometimes. (If yer gonna be a friggin' 49'er yer gonna be sitting in a tank for long hours sometimes)

I'm also a chess player. I'm not that good at it EITHER but I love it. So strategic logic is something I appreciate. There's a lot of that here if you avail yourself of it. And bombers are a big part of it. And bombers don't have to be boring. My favorite bomber missions are when we take a bunch of B-17's low into a base take and then fight our way out gunship-style. Very exciting, to say the least! Been on more than a few of those with Mr. Zero.  And it's cool to limp home with one shot up bird left and land some kills.

Anyway, it's cool if you don't dig 'em. I have a lot of fun with 'em.

What he said.

I too implore people particularly of the Bishop and Rook persuasion to fly more targets bombers.  The more enemy targets bombers I see in the air the happier I am. 

Really that's all I ask most of the time.  Just give me a red bardar and I am content.  Regardless of makeup.

Yup! I am always in my "brown pants", whether I need them or not. Its like Christams morning when I see a full, red darbar!

. . . Its simple,  the first instinct to base defense is resupply, which kills the addictive combat aspect of the game, which is one large factor of why gameplay is stale.  Hence the current population. .  . .

. . . .1 guy in a m3 should not undo undo what 5 jabos just did.  Its an easy alternative to defense in air or tank.  Im sure they make some sort of semi truck simulator if you guys want the supply feature so badly.

No, the first instinct is not resupply but it is a tool a base defender has and may be the only choice if runway vulchers are shooting everything before wheels up.  I do a lot of base defense.

No, one M3 supply run cannot stop 5 jabos.

As I posted before you are posting from a very narrow perspective.

Last night, during prime time, me and my squad mate, by ourselves, captured A1 from the bish and they had a full red dar bar out of A1.  My point is, defending a base requires dealing with attacks on multiple fronts.

You are saying he is speaking from a narrow perspective by speaking from the same perspective....so how are you right and he's wrong?

It's a fact that going right for resupply is a first choice for some in base defense....you can't deny that because it DOES happen...people have seen it

It's a fact that it's easier to resupply a porked field then it is to take one down.

Bombers take bases.   All we have to do is just be sure to bomb the supply line as well as the base you are taking.  When the VH is down at the supply base, nothing is rolling in to spoil your base taking wave.   They got a VBase?  Fine start bombing barracks too.  We can overcome the resupply wave (of which I have been a part) and start taking bases again - it just requires coordination and concentration.

I would agree with this but Ive also been apart of captures where they resupplied the troops I killed to set up for a base take before I could drop a town...

Like I've said many times, it is too quick...to the point that in a lot of cases people will up an M3 to hold a field against Jabbos...which should never be the first choice..

And if anyone thinks I'm wrong saying that happens in the MA I suggest the be the first attacker at a field...I see it all the time.

In many cases the m3 problem is magnified by the spawn point placed too closer to the town. The drive distance is so short that the m3 can be killed again and again, but it will keep showing up every 2 minutes. An attacking plane that runs out of ammo, fuel, or gets shot down will take much longer time to return.

The need to get the supplies just to the edge of town has a similar effect to the above. If the M3 had to drop the supplies at the flag, it would make its travel time longer and give attacking tanks a chance to intecept it, or prevent the resupply by holding the flag. Currently, the m3 can come out of the trees line to the other edge of town and make the drop before planes or tanks can intecept it.

1) Make sure that spawn points are at least a few miles from the town - travel time should be the same as a round trip time of a plane from the near air base.

2) The m3 town resupply should only take if it is delivered to the flag. C47 town resupply can have a greater range (and larger effect) than the M3.
