I find they should rename btc to stc(shell the carrier)the goal seems to be get shot down as near the carrier on land so you can spawn into tank real near carrier(which by the way promotes getting rid of bomb an getting shotdown on purpose dont think that happens in real life just observation

I have noticed this as well, it's absolutely disgusting tactic.

Lol courage I will aim to bomb but if I can shell the carrier so be it lol amount of times I say brb when my in game chat works they don't leave me I find that I have been shot down so I tank then they forget about me and I have finished the game by shelling the carrier lol

Seems to me that there isn't anything wrong with using that TACTIC to win a mission.. it's not dishonorable and it's highly effective, especially if you position yourself properly just prior to being shot down. Here's a hint if you're on defense: Don't shoot down reds over dry land within tank range of your carrier! And if you do be sure to take the chute out right away!

yes very effective tactic I use it when out of ammoin spad but othereise do my best to bomb.there is nothing wrong with it.sometimes hard to kill chute when plane really close to ground.I would like to see tank rounds half as effective as bomb but that would mean more lag not worth it just adjust tactics

Actually I believe tank rounds ARE less effective than bombs... bombs are worth 10% loss per and tank rounds are worth less, but I'm not sure how much less.

Didnt know that dont remember seeing odd numbers on strength of carrier but ill pay more attention out of curiosity

How much differance does upgrading the tanks damage make? I think it's 5% upgraded to 10%

hey zeb,..i think is something like 7,..or 8 %

I really try to use my bomb, but I usually find myself against 3 or 4 M.O.R.A.Fs witha lot better planes that shoot me down before I even get close to the carrier, which is when I try to shell the carrier, but since I'm a bad shot, I usually get destroyed before I land a single hit on the carrier...

Just yesterdaysomone was skirting along the shorline i think it was ______ gi waiting for me to shoot him down i got behind him and shot him down soon as he pulled his chute i let him have my bomb right on the chute he congratulated me on my play unfortunatly for him im now bombless and heading for his carrier where i played his game flew directly at him on purpose and got 4 hits to his carrier this scenario would never had come about if he had just tried to at least take a bomb run to my carrier
Ps i was outnumbered 3 to 1 my favorite games are odds stacked against me

Come on dog ivebeen flying with an against you for awhile I notice you like to get shott down near bridge I noticed this months ago know lots people do it personnally I like to bomb so omly drop bombs on tanks haners or carrier but it is effective stategy you can hit tank sometimes alot given rite situation

Zeb, do as I do: don't bother arguing about using tactics to win the game. Seems that people simply want others to play the way they want, otherwise they will cry forever.

Just to let you know, couple days ago I was on a btb game, leading the score (with a 2/1 kdr), and after almost 40 minutes playing, and after more than 50 kills (always carrying two bombs!!!!), I decided to use tactics to WIN the game: I used team chat to tell my teammates to keep reds busy, and when I was about to approach their base, I dold my teammates to hold fire (to avoid getin reds spawning and killing me on the approach). Then I approached, and some reds was still around, and I killed two of them, bombed twice, and begun to camp (yes, you read it right!!! I camped!!!) and got about seven or eight kills (some of you may call it spawnkilling, whatever), covering my two approaching teammates, and they bombed the four hangars left. Game over, my team won (4 x 4), I was leading the score, always carrying bombs. I am ready to see my nickname (Playing Mantis) on the blacklist. Ha! Big deal...

Hey dogg!! I remember a game where you just came and flew so close to ground to get tank,not just once. I know you use this TACTICS man well most of 'em do. But I was outnumbered in that game. But who cares, if one game ends lets go for another. Love yaaa!

That is simply despicable, Pedhrino!

You are obviously taking advantage of those who want three hour games! No one had won yet and here you go ruining everything and shortening it by winning. From now on you should only be allowed to play while you are severely sleep deprived, driving or both. You were being irresponsible to the game community when you chose to spend more time with your family instead of duking it out head on hour after hour. Shame!

Gotta say i do like my tank ive not been inna tank very long but i love it

I use the bridge as cover if the boat is under it as its hard for the reds to shoot u though the bridge if i doget shot ill tank on bridge like the next guy idont just fly to get my tank i always carry but i know some guys are dropping just to get in a tank i always carry

I'm sure that was me you are talking about, LOL.
I skirt the coastline until I can get close to the carrier and cut across to bomb. This "tactic" ensures that IF I get shot down on my way, I still have the option of a tank,
I always carry bombs on bombing missions, unless I have to drop on a tank prior.

Unfortunately, this is probably a hangover from my early days learning the game when I got shot down incessantly trying to approach the carrier.

Dog never said you dropped that I know you dont but ivenoticed that your easier to shoot down sometimes more then others your a smart pilot an you an tank are deadly

The issue should be why leave anyone in cute near the target,when everyone know what's waiting if enemies spawn into a tank...???
Why don't ppl practices there's aiming so they can put a end to the attempt going tank...
I say its a trill when several tanks occurs in shooting distans from hangars and carriers...I have improved my aiming on tanks so now its easyer to go head to head and even my long distance shots are more accurate,much just thank for the tank targets...and that is not so bad,though...

The main reason is because, for example I could be playing, and I don't know how but I always seem to know what the reds are planning, but if a noob spawns in his main focus is to bring down reds, so he thinks its easy pie just taking on one pilot that's not shooting back, but the pilot has other objectives, so the noob didn't know and u warn him too late, and sometimes even when u warn them they dont listen and there goes a good game out the window
