Brettonian Warriors v Darkwater Research Update 1: The repeated action at Dr. Claisen's field lab had left the area on high alert; it was no surprise when a dot appeared on the radar tower, the distance it traveled between each sweep clearly identifying it as an enemy air unit. The Brettonian Warriors' V-12 Pelican Bomber came flying straight at the base at maximum speed. As the announcement rang out, the base troops sought cover around buildings and structures while the multitude of air defenses turned their attention to the oncoming enemy. The Missile truck launched a full salvo of missiles at the predicted bomber. The engines were completely eliminated and wings with them; the Pelican rapidly lost altitude and control, aiming to crash on the base again. The Darkwater Research air defense crews had seen this before, and the Storm Towers completely annihilated it when the internal payload was detonated inside from the repeated fire. ============================== LossesBrettonian Warriors:1 V-12 Pelican Bomber ProfitsDarkwater Research:50 Aluminum (Salvaged from the fuselage and armor) 2 Requisition ============================== Achievements CompletedHachi:Seagull - Destroy an enemy aircraft using a self-propelled rocket or missile fired from the ground. +5 Goal-line Stand - Successfully defend against 2 attacks. +15

Wow, I get a battle section all to myself.
I like the simpleness of your battle update. Kind of ironic with the big bold letter.

you win hachi I fail at requisition and achievements and just generally everything.... are achievements avoiding me or something? whenever I do something that I think could be worthy of an achievement it turns out it wasn't and then something uhhhh random gets an achievement... I has sadness perhaps an achievement for the fact that I've built 3 aircraft? launched 3 attacks? anything? +15 for defending twice, but nothing for attacking three times? just a rant...

There are achievements along those lines, just not for those numbers. Don't give up, just keep trying. And, for future reference, Bombers will always lose to Anti-Air in this game, so I'd avoid strict bombing runs against A-A defended foes in the future.

well I was actually TRYING to bomb anti-air, but I apparently got blown up before anything :/ You had strength 2 armor (on aircraft no less), and it was one air-to-ground plane vs. 5+ ground-to-air units. Also, one of them was long ranged and had the radar tower for alert. Attacking something first doesn't mean it can't shoot back...especially when you are in its engagement distance, but it is out of yours. What would Hachi think about a single 28-day plane destroying his defenses and getting away when he had 100+ days of air defense and a radar tower to spot for him?

I think a 28 day plane might be able to do at least like a small amount of damage but whatever....

Not when a purely AA unit excelling at range can shoot it from long distance and there were plenty of other air defense units capable of finishing it at short range. It's about engagement distance.

I know it seems unfair, but I guess the game functioned a little differently from what you expected. You tried it, and it didn't work. Maybe it would in real life, maybe it wouldn't, but it doesn't work in this game. Maybe something else will. Look at past battles, ask to look at old plans from some of the vets, and you'll get a better idea of what works and what doesn't. You're learning by trying new things, and it's always good to try something else when something fails. That's what strategy is. All I'm saying is keep at it; the worst thing that can happen is that your army gets destroyed and you have to make a new one. By coming in and making a splash right from the get-go, you're bringing excitement to the game that a lot of newbies don't, so good job.

you know, I would keep it up, but for my complete and utter lack of req gain and Hachi's amazing amount of it, because seriously, with that much req he could have replaced the bomber I lost three times over, 80 days of it. I have really no hope and I doubt I'll get anything but standard req from the upcoming attack on me, so I'll just hang back and build up my army for a full assault.

I'd just like to point out that, not only were you completely and totally outmatched by Hachi's anti-air, but this isn't the first time you've tried a bombing run.
Personally, I think Hachi should be offended that you that that this would work.
Yes, Hachi's getting more requisition because he shot down your planes, but you didn't break anything of his. This game isn't biased, you just have to send in more than a single bomber if you want to get something done.
And that's all I have to say about that.

no my point was that look at hachi's achievements and how in 3-4 attacks launched I have gained nothing. not saying it's baised, just that I have bad luck with this.

Well, you kind of have to do something to get those. You've just been sending dudes on suicide missions, and you haven't even destroyed anything of his.
Granted there's probably an achievement for attacking X amount of times (I haven't checked in a while >_>). So you'll probably get an achievement eventually.
