branko people are allowed to use rockets in BoP, its not the second world war; it's a computer game that includes aircraft that carry bombs and rockets, as such people are allowed to utilise whatever aircraft and load out they wish rockets and in your case turret gun bombers that need a rocket strike to take them out. At least rockets are forward firing.
I hit a fighter at 1600 ft with a rocket yesturday so it is possible albeit hard to do.
I hope that this thread gets shut down as i'm sick of irrational attacks on the use of rockets in what is very clearly a computer game and not world war 2.

I just cant agree here. If I realise someone is on my tail in a fight and they are using guns, I have a chance to evade and engage in a dogfight with him. With rockets more often than not the first you know they are on your tail is when you explode. No chance of engaging, no chance of evading, just instant death. Same with a head on run. If its two planes with guns it becomes a joust, with one plane carrying rockets it becomes the charge of the light brigade.

If someone is in a bomber I don't need to worry about them sneaking up behind and getting an instant kill or I can choose to ignore the bomber if I wish. If I want to engage the bomber I wont attack it from its 6, I will use a high energy dive on its roof.

I just wish to state that I do not have any issue with rockets per se. If rockets are your bag then get stuck in. What I do have an issue with, and why I originally posted, was the team killing. All this served to demonstrate was the fact that the player firing them had serious issues to want to shoot team mates. I deliberately did not name names in my original post as I just wished to gauge opinion as to what I had observed. Sadly though it got blown out of propotion and led to myself and many other players recieving abuse from the player involved. All this leads me to believe that there are issues outside of this game that perhaps they need to deal with. I would never consider lowering myself to that level and personally abusing them on this forum as most, save for one, are decent, respectful players of the game. I'll do my talking in the air.

I would also like to invite any player who has any issue with me to here and now state as such. I personally believe I try and play this game within the spirit in which it is meant but I have been called a hypocrite by one particular player and would like to know if indeed this is the case or whether it's just sour grapes. I am aware of many of your thoughts already as you have emailed me or messaged me via the psn network and I appreciate your honesty and comments.
Thanks,
a rather pissed off Gilly

Gilly in all the games I have played with you I have never seen anything to suggest you are anything but a fair and valued player.

To me these arguments flair up due to the shrinking community. We have fewer targets and kill each other multiple times per match, which leads to frustration as we are all vets and some don't like being shot. We take the game perhaps more seriously than we should but that's because we love the game and it's subject matter.

I don't agree with rockets air to air use, some don't mind. The game let's them be used for air to air so as has been said, if players want to use them so be it.
But these fall outs always seem to stem from rocket use. I havnt seen any arguments amongst players about being gunned down

Rockets.. Not bothered one way or another. I don't use them in D,TB or CTA.

My main problem with BoP online at the moment is the Bailing issue.

I've been in games where members of this forum (some on my friends list) have basically bullied people into bailing. 'If you don't bail me and my mates will f**kin kill you' type shit. Not my thing. At the end of the day you can't police a game. Everyone on here is more than capable of holding thier own in the air.

If you wanna single someone out for not bailing then that's up to you . I just don't like the verbal.

The rejection of individualism is fascism.

I'm off to go and try and raise £220 because my F'in PS3 has f'in YLOD'd again.. I have a copy of Red Dead waiting for me too. Bugger.

This game has several options.
One of them is to join a game session, or not.
Before one choose to join a game session, one has to join a lobby.
Attending the lobby, one can see the settings for the session and other players who has joined the session.
If the settings for the session, or the players are not to your likings, one have the option to leave the game.

For those who are not able to either hear or read messages of sessions settings, or in other ways insist to obstruct other players private sessions and games, please stop doing so.
To those who has issues with other gamers, stop joining their games.

Fly in peace, and enjoy BoP.
