Jets may or may not take "some" skill.  But these people are whining because they are stuck on a small little target that is getting bombed by plane or artillery every time they spawn.  It iritates EVERYONE on the ship to not be able to do anything about it.  So some resort to whining big whoop, you should have to put up with some crap to get your 50 and 0.

A different map would ofcourse be a different story.  But thats why you play wake now isnt it...

There's THREE different spawns for the USMC in Wake Island. Each spawn has a way of getting to the mainland. Nice try.

Mason4Assassin444 - Dropping bombs isn't as easy as it looks. I've seen oh so many pilots drop bombs aimed for the carrier and the fly out 100m passed the carrier and splash down in the water. Bombing tanks is even harder(obviously)
But I think you'd know a lot about how hard it is to be good in a jet... Seeing as this is your stats for Aviator

Agreed. Its all these years of flight simulators taking thier toll. Screw the FS portion, skip straigh to the flight plan.  It was nice hitting a jet with an AT the other night on Wake. WE need portable stingers for infantry....solid snake style. And an AT should damn well kill a hummer in one hit....for the record.  A>..>T......ANTI-TANK......so it is damn sure ANTI-HUMMER.

Overall Wake is unbalanced. Chinese can park thier tanks at the ends and call in the air squad. They spawn camp and end of game. the boats are useless. Its awful on your K ratio. There is no point to being on the carrier in Wake.

And with a good pilot on Chinese....like you said. Overpowering.

Im really surprised some cheap-azz programmer didn't stick a chopper on Karkand.

Your right dropping bombs does take skill. Its not the pilots fault Wake sucks. Its basically 4 big ass runways.

And proper bomb dropping for maximum effect is at a 45 degree angle towards your target....can't miss.

Anyone overshooting the carrier needs to get out of the plane anyways.  Anyone bombing the carrier should be shot. But hey....ITS IN THE GAME!!!! EA BABY!

thats what no one has figured out yet, that level bombing does little, if anything, to a concentrated area. i prefer going high then coming down at like 80 or 90 degrees, and release then, so i can save some people for another piolt

There's something I can agree with.
I want one of those maps aswell... Karkand would be amazing without the vehicles.

Lol, I've gotten many capture assists by flying over a flag. but if you mean using the F35 to cap a flag, that's not hard.
I've gotten a lot of defend the flags when shooting down jets aswell. xD

Flying is not hard. Hovering over a flag is not hard. Landing a helo in a carrier is not hard. Putting a helo in a maitenance building is not hard. The hard part is not getting shot down while doing dumb stuff like that.

I get quite annoyed by players saying the US is at a disadvantage, for one thing, they get 2 F-35's, a Black hawk, 3 spawn points, a Cobra Attack Heli, and alot of boats, now if I hear one more prick say that they're at a disadvantage, I'll snap.

Here's a tip, don't head for the tanks, how about heading for a DIFFERENT spawn point other than the freakin' South or North Villiages?

My mistake...obviously n00bs CAN do it, as you have shown

And by the way, you don't hover the jets in, you fly them. n00b.

First I'd Like to say I suck At flying jets. Congrats to all that can. Im practicing, but I practice on a local server that I set up for myself and just fly around to get used to dropping bombs or make straffing runs. Personally i dont have a problem with the jets on wake. they are there so adapt and over come. Ive found that even a boat can get to where you need it to go with two j-10s coming after you. by simlply using the map to navigate and scanning the sky to see where they are coming from, then its just a simple fact of turning 90 degrees from theyre flight path or just turn into them compleatly then if you are lucky sometimes one or both will crash into the water since they are frustated with a tiny ass boat in the water.
And whoever says you dont hover in jets..... hmmm if a plane is not in a forward motion or flying backwards and has no difference in altitude then I would say its hovering. Its a manuver Just like a helo. its what allows them to have VTOL(vertical Take-Off and Landing) capability

Oh yeah guess what. If the us decides to take those ugly boats, they might be able to cap a point rather then staying on the carrier to wait for a jet or chopper.

Jets suck. PERIOD.  Because they are too powerful.   Its nearly impossible to shoot down a jet with anti air, and some maps don't have enough anti air on them.  Its too easy to re-arm and bomb everyone.  Great if  you are good in a jet, terrible if you're on the ground. IHMO

The only problem I see with Wake is the bitching about the carrier.

1.  Carrier is uncap - don't attack in vehicle.
2.  Chinese Airfield isn't uncap - rape away.

So, I get in the J-10, get into a dogfight, F35 is losing so he pisses off back to carrier.  I follow
and finish the job, then get bitched at for "raping an uncap".

Meanwhile, the same F35 pilot has been raping the Chinese Airfield.

I mean really, if i'm raping the carrier with MG and bombs to get all the poor suckers on the deck, thats one thing.  But it pisses me off when jet pilots circle the carrier to hide behind the uncap status, or flee back to it the moment you damage them.
