I'm the DROPPER! :-)

Let's talk about dropping your load for a minute...no, not the one that goes down the toilet. BOMBS baby, BOMBS. I've been admonished numerous times for dropping early. My reply is: 'So what'?
What...the 'proper' and 'nice' thing to do is to drive straight, shoot shoot shoot, hoping you'll not get shot down and get shot down? EVERY SINGLE TIME?

How boring is that? And what's wrong with a little strategy? Usually I don't drop until one of the following events occurs:

1. Somebody pees me off. (lol)
2. I spawn in with a ton of folks in the yard.
3. I'm hit once already and have no chance.
4. I see a tank that needs killing...many times I've knocked out tanks with a single bomb. So then what...I'm supposed to go all the way back, land and reload?

Haven't ya'll ever heard of fighter escorts? What would really make the game great..besides killing all the lag switchers...would be to have 'team chat' where chat would only go to your team members. Then you could formulate a strategy on who's going to carry and who's going to escort.

And what if you've already hit a hangar? Many times I've hit a hangar and then hung around shooting people at the enemy base. DROPPER!!! they yell...well yeah, that's the point.

If people really hate dropping early so much then they should petition the boss to make a bomb limit for each person per game. Then the player would have to think seriously about when to drop.

dropping when under pressure at base is fine, no one cares about that. Shoot tanks almost never a need to bomb then (unless he's hidden in one of your hangars).

As for offering fighter protection, that's ok at times, but do you throttle back and stick the the guys with bombs or just charge forward for personal glory?
