Should planes be allowed on our AAS games?

[big-paddy]

IF its so easy to bring down planes, once you know how, then we must practice. Anyone up for a plane bashing night? Those that can could share their knowledge, those that cant can learn.

When we all have the way of the Jedi, then the flyboys will give up because they just keep getting killed.

Of course we may then have a vote to ban infantry

I like the odd stint in a plane, I fly around, can't kill owt then decide to use it as a fast taxi.

This may sound crasy but the 50 Cal machine guns (Jeeps, buggys, etc) can bring a plane down in short order. It takes some practise to get the hits but they REALLY tear up a plane, aslong as you spot the plane you can normally bring it down if its heading in your direction before its dropped its bombs.

These guns are also THE way to take down choppers imo (If your lucky you can also take out the crew of the aircraft in seconds leaving the jet to crash)

I know the MG cut through heli's though even then you really need two MG's to bring it down before it gets away (unless its damaged beforehand).

You've got to do some pretty good leading to shoot a plane going at full pelt, but if you can show me how I'm willing to learn

Planes on bombing runs are only a problem if the other side dose not get a jet up to counter. I was having great fun the other day on Oman in the SU-34 Flanker (a great bomber). The US sent Lib up in a F35 which ended all my fun and kept all the guys on the ground nice and safe. It's nothing like the unstoppable power of Artillery

:withstupid: , takes a bit of doing but I try and get into a position parallel to its bombing run and start firing as it draws level aiming well in front of the plane.

Yeah, or if you are directly in its line - the clay pigeon phrase is a "driven bird" - as it flies towards you aim a fraction above the cockpit bubble or below the undercarriage depending if the plane is climbing (in which case the former) or the latter if the plane is diving. Even if you dont destroy it you may cause enough damage for the pilot to abort the run.
