You may or may not know someone with killer and dan in his name but I played a Strike game against him last night. I shot him down a few times in his B17. I was flying a G6 - so no rockets but yeah pretty good armanent. He also shot me down with his tail gun. I rammed him once but it certainly wasn't intentional. My friends here will vouch for me there.

The following game he was flying a ME163 and attacking B17's. I then adopted an escort role and defended the B17 on my team, shooting him down a few times in the process.

In the lobby for the next game he then began to slag me off in front of 16 players telling me that I should fly in Dogfight mode rather than Strike if I wanted to shoot planes down. Basically in his opinion Strike is for bombing only (Apparently in WW2 bombers never came under attack from fighters)

BTW I spoke to a bomber pilot about this and she said that he has attacked her with rockets. So he is also a hypocrite.

I messaged him "You should deal with it. When I fly bombers I expect to get shot down but that's part of the challenge." The response. "Cheap shot a**hole."

How boring would it be if we just flew to our targets without threat of fighter molestation. This really is kindergarten at times.

I can't imagine ace bomber jockeys like Gilly or Branko complaining too much (unless of course rockets are used).

on strike i always fly a G-6 and just pretty much play defense. Its pretty fun to just practice shooting at bombers as the come in. Never had any bomber pilots get really upset with me

Most B17 pilots accept that if they're going to fly the most destructive plane, that can win a strike game singlehandedly, then they're naturally going to be a target for fighters. So it's up to that individual's skills on the the tail gun.

Sadly, a minority don't see it that way and prefer to throw their toys out of the pram.

where's the fun in that???? Gives me something to do whilst 'on route' and while waiting for bomb respawn! The more the merrier in my book!

Haha, just as I thought. Cool as you like.

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

Does he rhyme with who's that? Or are we talking mezo America?
