As am I.

you need to thicken your skin Raum. I was booted countless times by ryujin in my early days.
I was angry, because i thought i didn't deserve it.

But then I realized he was right and started learning from my mistakes.

Anyways when at an aleph the scout should always go first, we are expendable.

And yes nan bombers and save the day.

p.s whining on the forums does not help

Yes, when the scout doesn't read the chat and proceeds ramming even though we're sure its proxed.

Yes, when the only scout available (so both eyes and nan) decides to be a hero and check for camp (although we're pretty sure its camped).

Yes, obviously.

And I mean, ints should go in before the bbr but most int pilots have the situational awareness of a quashed ant.

OK, you are not aware of why I made that original post.I was yelled at for doing just what you are suggesting.I went in first and was screamed at by the comm,who was piloting the bomber.So don't tell me to get a thick skin when you can't read my original post.There are 3 ways to handle going through the aleph and the nan is always to blame when the comm/Bomber pilot doesn't state how they want the bomb run handled.
I have always taken the position of "Anyways when at an aleph the scout should always go first, we are expendable."But I get bitched at or the bomber crashes through and dies anyways.Or both.
So I was right in the first place but the ego's yell at me for "not knowing how to nan after 15 years of playing the game".
F getting a thicker skin...I'm right...........................they are wrong!

And the bit about whining is BS.I'm trying to communicate so the community can get it's @#(! together and agree on what to do insstead of losing players after they get yelled at for not doing something correctly when there are 3 different opinions on how to do it.

Well,the idiot kept askng for communications (while pushing the bomber to the aleph) and got no response.

And I stoped ramming at 1500 and went ahead because I thought it was camped and wanted to save the bomber from being podded.

I tend to disagree. I think the bbr should almost always go in first: it should be ints, bbr, nans. Why? Simple. Because idiots in ints will SHOOT THE FIRST THING THEY SEE. If they use all their ammo on the ints, then lolololol we did it. But the best case scenario is they spend 3-5 seconds shooting the bbr being like "NO WE CAN SPIKE IT THERE ARE NO NANS" only to be woefully surprised when in comes a handful of nans to just push that bbr back to tip top shape. Then each int has to reacquire targets (and some, and frankly Raum you have the rep of being one of these ints, simply will not reacquire a target and unload a clip uselessly into the bbr) while having diminished ammo.

If the nans enter first, all the ints are going to be like, "oooh, a scout to kill!" and pod one or two scouts before the bbr gets in.

People are too quick to forget that non-zero hull on a bbr is the same as full hull on a bbr so long as you have nans in place.

The other thing nans do that PISSES ME OFF is they fly out from the cover of the turrets/other nans. I know, I know, you want to be all "dodge the mean int bullets" but frankly you're better off if you STAY CLOSE TO THE DAMN BBR so I don't have to run out into the middle of nowhere to nan you up when Dome wants kb.

It's even worse with sfs... literally the only way to bomb vs sfs (because countermeasures are the dumbest mechanic in gaming ever) is to stick close and nan whoever takes a missile to the face. Yet everyone just scatters trying to outrun missiles.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^I'll repeat this^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The first thing you need to do after you realise there are sf's targeting the bomber train is to see who is taking damage and NAN them!
