High level bombing contest

[dkwookie]

So I wonder who is most accurate at high level bombing. Who can get a single bomb on a landed aircraft from high altitude.
I propose team battle set up over Dover. Team one is single person acting as target. He is in any fighter or fighter bomber of choice. All other players go on other team and fly spit ix armed with single bomb. Target lands at hawkinge and parks on runway. Comtestants take turns at climb to 20,000ft and drop a bomb aimed at target.
10 points for direct hit, 3 drops per player

Sounds cool, I am in.

Me to was just wondering about other setups we could do, this is one.
Maybe could expand it to some raid the airfield session ?

Another one I thought about maybe a strafing competition too. Get someone parked in a bomber that can be destroyed by a single (well executed!) strafing run and see a. who can do it in one run and b. who takes the shortest timed burst to get the bomber in flames

I will be the target if you would like . I sugest a henkile for the target they seem to be the bigest bird with the easiest damage model in this game . Send me a msg on PSN JoeD70 tonite wookie and we can test it out

Yeah I was thinking heinkel. I know they can be downed with one run in the air but not sure how long a burst. Straffing easier though as you can slow down and get a better bead.
Just some ideas to get some variety into the game. We have all played it to death so any new challenge is good.

I have an idea.

A no holds barred Realistic, single class (all in same plane), rocketsinfacefest dogfight (no player tags on HUD) with shit planes.. Yep, The shitter the better! Host chooses. Anything goes.
It'd be like group therapy.

Hello all - another noob here who has just joined the forum now that I've (almost) completed the game on arcade, well just one of the single missions left undone, and I have done a few sorties online under the PSN name of MeanElf too.

I saw this thread and like the sound of it - any more bomb runs planned, or shit-plane days?

I also imagine that the target player will also have an interesting view of what it might be like while sat out on the airfield during a bombing raid...

Hi Jim, welcome on board!
Keep and eye on the 'ariel bombing run' thread as this is where we tend to arrange these type of things. Last one was a riot with scotty flying a G6 and attempting to strafe dk, kav, mcq and myself in bleinheims at manston. We've also had reasonable success (and a hell of a lot of fun) with 'non standard' bomb runs- did a historical run on Canterbury using he111's and a attack on the Reichstag and pottsdam palace using B17's. Kavs posted some good images on the ariel bombing thread

Thanks for that Gilly - I shall go and have a look, then resolve to pay more attention in future.

There sure is a lot of info on this site, eh?
