no not too far. if you fly that plane in a team battle...you put your team -1. and that isnt fair to them. in a df what are you trying to prove? i can almost see it in cta but there are better bombers to fly and again you put your team at a disadvantage of -1. now if everyone is screwing off and flying weird crap then by all means. we have gotten bored and had Po-2 dogfights. but by and large i have seem more people get pissed by someone flying a bomber when they shouldnt.

In a team battle it is not the plane to use no. Bombers in team battle are a major teram disadvantage and just irritate people. With that I agree.

In Dogfight however, I am not trying to "prove" anything, I am just trying to do as well as I can. For some reason I struggle to shoot down a turning plane even with the forestalling and thus I have forced myself into using a plane where planes mostly fly at in straight lines. I also use it so that if I cannot shake an opponent (in a fighter) I have a method of defense. If in a fighter without such defensive armanent I just get burned.

getting burned is a part of the learning curve if you are consistently using a tailgunner how will you ever learn to dogfight.I will repeatedly attack any bombers in DM TDM &CTA except the il10(T34)which i will just ignore

dogfighting isnt just getting on someone's six and taking them down...or learning the fine art of deflection shooting. a large part of it is, especially in this game, is evading someone who is on your tail. getting away to fight another battle OR if you can turn the situation around and get them in your sites...that's the stuff you will never learn that with a tail gunner. we all have had our time being flamed over and over again. like themeistor said...that my dear boy, is just part of the territory and yes it is frustrating until you learn...but the sooner you start the sooner you will get better at it.

I'm not saying that I cannot evade those that are on my six otherwise I doubt that I would be playing this game. I am also not saying that I cannot shoot anyone down, its just that I prefer to use the B-17. I do have some skill and can play.

legendary, im effectivly a bomber jock in this game as gilly will testify as ive flown maannnnyyyy times and will tesify to this im no sharpshooter but can hold my own, but when you're against the best of the best boom and zoomers there is lil resistance, BUT would never take any of the bombers/dive bombers in to a dogfight, cta or team battle!!!

make no mistake i can fly fighters reasonably well ............ i like to think anyways

its called a dogfight for a reason and taking it into cta os TB (team battles) is well ............ in fairness very unsportsman like my only exception would be the IL2 not the M ofc as the IL2 has no rear gunner as were all aware



Psml at all the covert "talk"
