    If you join me in making Quitch's like ratio anarchy (anything other than 1:1), I will consider it.

    Bomber snipe - aka spending a long time building an expensive and very obvious squadron, then finding someone dumb enough to not scout properly and leave their commander completely exposed

    Yep, I'll add myself.

    Who woulda thought naval would be entirely useless against the commanders gatling nuclear torpedo launcher on an all water map? And not to be too hard on the other player, but he had his comm up front to prevent naval attacks, he was asking for a bomber snipe :)

    Here's the thing about bomber sniping : if base defenses don't adequately stop fighters, then there should be nothing to stop you from flying your fighters into his base to kill his bombers before he's ready to snipe.

    On the medicore play level, almost everybody in FFA does it (or at least having a try).

    Usually when I die to a bomber snipe it's because I wasn't pressing someone as hard as I should. FFA especially, it's tempting to sit back and not tempt anyone into attacking you, possibly resulting in multiple people attacking you at the same time, but this just results in your neighbors all building up their own favorite snipe attack and you won't see it coming.

    Pressing a guy trying to do a bomber snipe can force him to show his hand as he has to start throwing his bombers at your marauding forces.

    And sometimes I do a bomber snipe because it's just too easy. Some people will do amazing ground assaults and then I look at their base and there is no AA what-so-ever. Meanwhile I'm "wasting resources" trying to defend against a little possibility of everything.

    If there's a snipe type that you are not spending any resources preparing for, that's the one I'm going to try and quickly attempt.

    I do this to people who immediately try to rush vehicles or orbital. Dox rushes or naval starts beat the hell outta T1 bomber snipes as you need about 40-50 to kill any Commander in one pass. 30 if AA is insufficient to allow 2nd or 3rd passes.

    I just see this as another angry person who keeps losing because they can't play the game.

    Same people who complain in FPS about spawn camping because they can't get their team together to kill 1 person..
