I thought I had just about seen every cheese ridden excuse for a player this game had to offer but what I witnessed last night was a real Stilton of a tactic. Save for the fact this one player refused to bail whatever they also carried a 250lb bomb on their MKIX and proceeded to drop it just before hitting the ground, blowing themselves up in the process and deliberately causing themselves to appear as a crash and deliberately stealing the potential for it to be registered as a kill. So it seems you can configure a 'crash' button by just strapping a bomb underneath and killing yourself when the mood takes you. Now I'm not one for singling people out ( unless you rob me of a kill by not being a man and bailing when your planes unflyable) but this player is now the only person to be entered into Gilly's Hall of Twats... with honours. Mind his 20 or so deaths to 2 kills hopefully means they reconsider especially when I'm against them.

Ironically it's neither sadly. It's a regular player who I believe happens to currently sit at the top of the leaderboard.... I know why now

its a shame,one patch to sort anti bailing and killable rear gunners and the game would be so much better

I've seen people deliberately aim for trees when they are damaged beyond recovery. It almost always registers as a crash regardless of how shot up they are.

lol got to say some really valid points in here.
im a fair player in respects to if my aircraft is that badly damaged i tend to bail if i can alot of time i cant react quick enought to ![]() hate kamikazi's (sp) ive flown into people head to head or attacking a bomber (gilly a few times :p) i will immeadiately send a message "sorry wasnt ment". ive never rammed someone cause they got me 3 or 4x in a row, i do my best to try and shot them down rockets - also a lame lame tactic yawn sooooooooooooo boring, as dk pointed out it was used as an eventual tactic, but once the rockets were used that was it, but wee punks in I153's who sit on you're tail machine guns blazing and rockets used as quick as they can respawn yaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!! |

now i aim for the trees...but not to intentionally crash ( well sometimes but i will get to that). my best tactic for shaking someone off my 6 is hit the deck and blow the sparrows out of their nests. this is the one thing i can do pretty well..lol. but my plane must look like the pic below when i am done.
now as for crashing or bailing i will ask what is proper "Etiquette". i by chance did happen to get a kill or the guy after me spun in and he crashed...but not before he tore me to shreds. my crate is barely able to fly let alone engage. in real life (i'm with scotty) i would get the hell out of dodge and break for any airfield, try to belly her in a farmers field, or if too uncontrollable point her to germany and bail out. so at this point i may crash so i am on equal grounds ( equipmentwise ) with my opponent. Or should i stay in the air and serve my self up? i really wouldnt want anyone doing that for me. but if that is the way the game is played i will. i have never intentionally eaten earth simply to deny someone a take down. if i cant shake'm then then he deserves the points/kill. all in all i dont want to be a another twat in gilly's hall.

I doubt that Bobby! The fact you come on here, converse and post some historical and interesting stuff shows you have inteligence!
As far as I'm concerned if you smash my plane up beyond repair I'll graciously bail thereby crediting you the kill. I wouldn't stay with a crippled plane in real life so why would I when playing IL2. I appreciate what Scotty says about the times when you can't or don't get the chance but to deliberately bomb yourself as you get low enough was just extracting the urine I thought. If it's not bad enough that you spin the wheel and hope when people crash you get the credit to deliberately destroy yourself really was beyond cheese and tantamount to cheating in my book. All of the guys I play the game will bail and not only do we play with honour, integrity and maturity we also acknowledge the games failings and try to get around this by bailing. Anyway I'd rather have a fresh plane and get back to killing than trying to fly something that won't! Respect to those that do bail and watch your six to those that don't, I'll happily just keep getting righteous on your ass! Call it quality control!!! |
