DRAFT: BOP Fairplay Policy Agreement

[Shadowcorp]

I remember our conversation well Pope, bailing out is not a kill giver on the xbox due to a lack of patch.
However i think i should be made clear again because not every knows how to bail out
1 Press start
2 bail out should be just above quit mission option

Bailing out all the time requires quick reflexes, so it is entirely forgivable in low (treetop level) altitude dogfights not bailing out as a well placed shot to a control surface will but you in the ground before you realise.
I back this agreement and have been playing this way for some time.... however is only really fair when everyone plays fair so take that into account aswell

[McQ59]

I'd like to add:

DO NOT: Park your plane on the airfield when you have captured it. Get airborn and defend it!


This may be a bit off topic, but it is about bailing...
I fly the 109's quite a lot, and have noticed that when I bail after being shot a bit up - the result is "McQ59 crashed". The same happens when I get shot up close to the deck; My plane spins around and hits the ground before I can give the bail-command, with the same result, a crash. It has made me wonder; Is it the damagemodel on the 109's that is the problem here? It seldom happens when I fly the spit or any other plane, but it has even happend when my 109 has got a hit and the engine's gone dark red/ black and is smoking.

Anyone else who has wondered about this?

I would like to add:

Capture Airfields
Do not kamikaze pilots sat on the airfield. If you are in a diving strafe and realise you cannot pull up then crash away from the grounded player

If everyone in the lobby has rockets or guns equipped please don't take bombs into the game

In Strike:
Don't ram targets just because you're out of bombs.
Don't ram targets just because you're shot up.

Fair play, but its not like we can land and re arm. So when at a 1vs1, out of bombs, either way the plane has to crash to get more bombs to win the game. And no obvious way other then ramming the target.

This draft, it will take some time.

Why would anyone play a 1v1 strike game?

[Korsakov829]

I'm not sure how you Xbox players have it but I could be waiting a whole hour just to find more then one player to play with. As far as I know I have spent more time waiting for players then playing the actual game. But I guess thats just the time zones. Strangely enough I find more Americans in the game then Russians, big inconvenience to me.

So with limited ammo on, you have four bombs and your enemy has eight, the only thing you can do once your out of bombs and keep ahead of the game you have to crash your plane to get more bombs. Unless your a good pilot and can shoot down a enemy B-17G in a average 10 seconds, there is no way you can win without crashing your plane for more bombs.

I meant deliberate ramming. No issue with pressing start and bailing. New plane, new bombload.
That is of course unless you're trying to unlock the bombs for the 51D etc

very interesting observation McQ! i have to agree and it makes sense. i have been on both ends of this and am going to have to pay more attention to the planes when it happens. but it seems to work both ways...i shoot the heck out of someone and they go in as a "crash"....or i get shot to $#!t and it robs the guy of the kill. then on the oppositeside of life there are some ac that are made of paper...1 hit and it registers a kill. it must not be a PS3 flaw exclusively.

[McQ59]

Cool observation bobby. I'm not sure it's a flaw. Not necceseraly. It amazes me sometimes. And shames me. It's a lot of guys out there that knows how to shoot in motion, so I die a lot too...
But back to the 109... I thought maybe it could be the devs that gave them a little different "touch" than the british birds. I love theire moves anyway...
