Am i a bad bomber pilot??

**Carcass** · 10-20-07, 03:45 AM

Ok here is my question since some guys said some not nice things to me while i was flying, they called me "noob" "sucker" "rookie" "dumbass" "loser" and blah blah blah.
My question is:
Am i a bad bomber pilot?

If you have flew with me you have notice that i care more about the kills of my gunner than the kills i can get dropping bombs or chasing jets.
One thing ill make clear, I know how to use the bomber, and i do use it to its optimum task.
I always keep my gunner aware of the enemy location (counter clock, degrees, speed, and type of enemy, it could be infantry, armor, or water vehicle)
I even have been called cheater, when i told them "we are locking a boat at 3 seconds!, get ready to take it down!"
"enemy APC 3 o'clock 45 degrees down, im 246 feet altitud, diving in 3 seconds, get ready to shoot at 12 o'clock"

Some people go like "wtf with this guy? is he sane? he takes this to serious"
I do take it to serious, thats the reason i play on TTP, thats the reason i want to keep the teamwork, i care more about my team/squad points, rather than mines.

Not trying to make drama in here, but trying to explain everyone the "DooM style"
We care more about teamwork than personal scores.

Sincerely,

Carcass.

I am not voting just pointing out what someone else will do or will be thinking of doing in the same kidding way i am about to....

no, I have been killed numerous times by your jets so I would have to say yeah your good but I do not have much to base against since I have only played a few nights with you on the server.

To me the mark of a competent (not great) bomber pilot is flying up and down. By that I mean the pilot flies high, dives down for bombing runs then immediately climbs up at a steep rate. Properly using altitude is the key with the bomber.

Being great involves mastery of the mini-map and overall flying skills. These two take practice. Once I got good at using the mini-map I was able to stay above 500 feet which is out of the range of AA and most jet fighters and still accurately come down on targets at a steep angle. This allows my co-pilot to get a proper lock.

The only time I get selfish for kills is when the target is mission critical i.e. sam/mobile AA, flags going gray. Otherwise I'm more than happy to help him/her get the gold star. That is one of the most satisfying feelings along with helping that person achieve ribbons and medals.

Your good at Dog Fighting. Your good at lining up shots in the bomber. Your Evasion of enemy jets is what you need to work on.

To Carcass' point about being an unselfish bomber pilot for his bombadier I would have to wholeheartedly agree I would say of all the people I have flown with in the bomber he has provided the most helpful training I have received and I have tried to pass that on to others now that I take the stick more. I would jump in with Carcass at ANY time. Keld's point is accurate about evasion, but as we all know, it is much harder in bomber than a fighter. That is why altitude is key. Carcass knows this, as this was one of the very first things he told me. I've found a few nights when Carcass is on the other side that I've been on his tail quite a bit while he was in the bomber, but that has happened to us all.

Thanks for the training Carcass. To the rest, if you want good flight training, jump in with Carcass or Kelderos. Two of the best on the server.

ur a good pilot carcass bomber or fighter dont let ppl that think they know how 2 fly tell you any different. they just think that they know more and can do better but what they dont realize is that when ur the bomber pilot u need 2 pay attention 2 more then just flying as trigger said u need 2 use all ur assests like ppl spotting targets for u on the ground and air and the bomber isnt as menuverable as the fighters so 2 give ur missleman a shot u have 2 get into a good position and line them up and give them time 2 shoot the target without getting shot down. this is not easy 2 do with all the good pilots we have on the server and u do just fine at all of this dont let idiots tell u different

I have no idea what you just said . . . it would be nice to take the time to type so most people can understand what you are saying

Carcass . . . everytime I have flown with you, you have always lined me up for good shots

i like your piloting carcass. you are always very vocal about what you're going to do w/ the jet, and that's always better than not being vocal enough.

I have said it before and I will say it again; Carcass you are a skilled pilot. Unfortunately I find you taking my kills when I am on your LGM, but that is simply because I am too slow and you are too good!

Keep it up man!

Carcass is one of about 5 people that I enjoy taxiing me around in the bomber. I had my best round BF2 vanilla, on the TTP server the other night. We were in the bomber together on Cleansweep and dominated the round. We were shot down only once but had to fight the enemy to regain control of the aircraft since they were camping our hangar. I went 54/3 KDR that round. I ended the round with a score of 123, 43 points higher than the Silver medal. All of this was due to Carcass setting me up perfectly on almost every shot.

Everyone should hate you as a bomber pilot...that way we can go up in the air all the time
