And the award for Cheesiest Fighting goes to...

[Lizard3]

As to reality: I believe I've read an account of a single Russian tank rampaging a German air feild on the eastern front. Pilots were killed, I believe the HQ was literally flattend and no aircraft took off. <dregging memory lane> I also...think....what stopped him was while flattening a building, he rolled off into a basement and got stuck. The ack was not an issue.

Heya Ripsnort, I think my squady Smut has the most Panzer kills I've heard of.

The first week they were out he parked at an enemy field in support of an assault.  He racked up I think 34 kills.    Most were spawn-point kills, sometimes multiples to a shell.  I'm sure he picked up a bunch of kills from guys trying to strafe him and augering as well.

Was that cheesy?  LOL, who cares, it was really funny.

"MY P-47 is a pretty good ship
And she took a round coming 'cross the Channel last trip
I was thinking 'bout my baby and lettin' her rip
Always got me through so far
Well they can ship me all over this great big world
But I'll never find nothing like my North End girl
I'm taking her home with me one day, sir
Soon as we win this war"

Why not mine the surrounding ground near an airfield?  I'm sure HTC could come up with something.  Just one "non" mined path in and out.  Bombs could set off mines and, perhaps, clear a path.

Thoughts?

The only solution is to kill them, repeatedly, if what they are doing pisses you off.

Or ignore them.

What he said.  

[BotaBing]

Fighting from a hidden location, when you don't show up on radar, when you aren't realistically affected by the bases defenses,  where you pop some fighter within 15 seconds of him entering the plane, where there was postively absolutely zero chance for your 'victim' to avoid the kill is one thing...

cheese.

And if you don't see that, then you're just as cheesy.

[Kieren]

That's "Mr. Cheese" to you!

P.S. Unless your radar facility has been bombed, tanks do show up as a red bar in the sector on radar.  

[arhurb]

What Kieren said, plus, as far 27 (or the field your are talking about) is not the only field your country has, the fiter guy has *always* the option of t/o from another airfield (and straffe the tanker then, btw). Always. So, it's false (and cheesy) to say that he has zero chances to avoid the kill.

BotaBing,,

Sorry guy,, but you blew it. Unless you are not in the habit of checking the field you are trying to launch from
If you'd taken a moment to step into your tower prior to T.O., you'd have seen exactly where the tank was. Since your AAA were shooting at it.

Guess you "Screwed the pooch"

Ok folks, we've labored to give logical,coherent responses to this, and now we get "if you can't see that, then you're cheesy"
Ergo, Botabing woulda like some wine ta go with that?
(Anybody attempting to lift from a vulched field,of any kind, is a candidate for early retirement, most of us know that,and accept the risk,if you have a major bug up your butt about dying due to lack of awareness,then ya really need ta find something better ta do, 'stead of coming here and insulting folks) :|

Not at all. It is the closest thing to real war that we probably have. It takes planning, execution and a good understanding of the STUPIDITY of your enemy.
complaining about something that is so easy to counter is pathetic.

[BotaBing]

Hehehe no cheese for me.

Well looks like I struck a nerve with the cheese patrol.

Like I said before, you couldn't see him from the tower. I saw ack streaming at ground level, but there was no tank to see. That told me he was so far out that I couldnt see him, not that he was hiding inside a hangar.

Bottom line - its unrealistic. There's no way  a tank would single-handedly overwhelm an entire airbase, WHILE sitting inside a hangar. Gomer Pyle would have enough gumption to go stickybomb, molotav cocktail, or otherwise smack the thing.

Well anyways, its a cheesy stunt that stems from what will be fixed in the next patch - unrealistic field arms.

Ooooohhh..Tinky Winky is so sad...Tinky Winky thinks that spawing new  A/C is also unrealistic, as you would have had a proper burial rather than a new A/C at end of runway if sim was realistic.  Tinky Winky thinks HTC has gameplay in mind.  Big Huuug!
