I think . in bomb missions. there should be a zone where you have to be close enough to bomb the base, carrier, before you can release your bombs. this would stop the kdk lookers from coming into a bomb game to pray on bomb carrieries. which is lame.

I think that you must know that's the way you play, but there is to many ways to play bombing mission and no one can say there is only one way. What happen when you find a dropper? He shoot you down or you drop for defending you life, don't you? Well, in both cases, hangars of team dropper it's safe, that's why sometimes it's necesary a combination of bomber and scort. The problem ( I don't see the problem in this, but there is so many pilots that aparentelly they don't kill hangars or reds for make stats ) it's when some guy only drop for make stats... Well, I think all it's about if you gonna let hem kill you.. And surprise !! All the game it's about that, make the reds die and win or die for the reds and loss, whit or whitout bomb, you goona win or loss

Question: if I am ahead of my team and come across hulk, davy, and cannon all by myself at midfield, will i help my team more by....

a) Taking them head on (maybe taking out 1 if im lucky before i die and respawn behind my team) and allowing 2 or 3 of them to advance

or

b) drop and take out 1, 2, or all of them and push them back to respawn again, or at the least cause them to drop the bombs they had saved for my hanger to avoid dying

Pretty clear sometimes dropping does have its purpose, just because some abuse it doesnt mean there should be something put in place to stop it from happening. The game is played many different ways now and you must adapt to any playing style if you want to be a well rounded pilot.

Los aviones apenas los veo esto es un desastre ataco ahora mas sin bomba que con ella.por que? Por que.quiero ganar las misiones y bombardear el aeropuerto es.casi imposible.as8 que ayer derribe 67 el otrp dia 70.pobre del que.se encuentre conmigo jeje.el juego es casi injugable.si encima le.sumas el ĺag me parece desastroso.yo creo que.joaquim como veia que se arrasaban a los nuevos, sobre todo al entrar en el aeropuerto.los ha hecho casi invisibles.pero todo tiene un aptendizaje y los buenos siempre seran una pesadilla.un daludo ziza.

Hubiese sido mas.sencillo y sin mover nada poner un servidor para los mas nuevos y dejar como estaba todo.yo poco a poco me voy adaptando, aunque veo por desgracia un juego ridiculo, ademas cada vez hay mas goteros jaja no se quejaban de los goteros, pues ahora si que.los van a ver un saludo. (Es riduculo apuntar a no se sabe que ..2 rayitas o 1 y no se ve nada mas ni nombre ni nada, lo dicho ridiculo.

I like to serve as an escort to the bombers. I dont have the patience for trying to get in and bomb those hangars. My nerves are just too sensitive. I play games for fun, not to cause myself anxiety!

Besides, the types of planes in this game weren't equipped with bombs. The only bombs they had were cooper bombs the pilot would toss out of the cockpit.

Bombers were multi prop planes (eg. Avro, Airco) escorted by the fighters. The targets weren't specific either. The bombers would release their payload over the entire base and rain down destruction. Targets were things like war rooms, barracks and especially supply buildings. Anything the bombs didn't take care of were finished off with bullets.

That's why I love the zeppelin game!

That's not entirely true; the British equipped several fighters with racks for Cooper bombs, including the Camel and the SE5a represented in this game. There are also several photos of German aircraft, including the D VII with wooden racks for fragmentation bombs late in the war, probably learning the trench anti-personnel bombing tactic from the British. The Brits and French also had some rocket equipped planes, mostly incindiery types to fight airships and balloons.

What isn't historically accurate is the one or two large bombs represented in the game, and the severe drag they produce. One hundred pounds of cooper bombs should not detract that much from the performance of a 1,400 pound SE5a, at least not 30 points of airspeed.

The aircraft carriers are the more glaring chronoshift, but the game needs to have defined obectives. Endless dogfight missions would be repetitive and boring, as would capture the flag type missions. Zup deosn't have the lukury of building in dozens of missions given the multi-platform problems, as it seems every small addition causes glitches. The lack of trenches prevents trench missions, the lack of heavy and medium bombers prevents intercept and escort missions, etc. PC games have the luxury of starting the player and the supporting cast at the same time; DF has players entering and exiting variously, and limits the total number of aircraft to eight, making it even harder to make scenarios.

The only time I hate droppers is when I'm outnumbered 6-2 or 7-1. Then I really just wish they wouldn't. I'd prefer they sneak.

It honestly depends on how you drop and when. Players like Loewnhardt and Kero Zen and Hellcat, don't like 'em. Never will. Players who drop selectively and situationaly, such as Wig and Joe... Not a problem, even if they kill me repeatedly.

I hate to disagree w my own... However there are times when someone is sneaking up high or from behind and closing in on ur hangers quickly. The only action u can take is to drop so ur speed can increase in hopes to getting the sneaker. And when there is a camper(s) if u don't drop you'll be plucked really quickly. Especially against those like Dragon Romo, or calle, or bubi.. catch my drift? Some don't leave after they bomb for those who do carry and bomb but just won't leave to rtb.. I don't honk that making that an option or a update into the game would have positive outcomes. Like I said I hate disagreeing w my own family but I like being able to drop if need be. It can be a life saver at times..

I saw that, but fixing it tests the limits of my boardcoding

I sneak when the reds are outnumbered, because that no make more deaths for the reds and ends the game quickly . But many pilots don't like loss and they don't like be flanked

IKR!

Isn't that funny? I don't get that either...why would a heavily outnumbered team want to have all of the reds coming straight at him simultaneously? A sneak can provide a merciful death.

I think we all have dropped immediately to address a camper, bomber on final approach, or a high dive bomber from time to time. I sure don't want to have to survive toting 2 for too long while my enemy scoots around light as can be.
