Jet Bombers
« on: August 20, 2011, 04:17:14 pm »

After fighting off and closing half the town, the military comes knocking.

"The national guard has replaced the SWAT teams" (Wait... I got the military the last three times?)
"An M1 Abrams has been stopped by your tank traps"
"You hear jet bombers streak overhead"

Oh science. I closed the game, and came here. How bad are jet bombers? Are they like tanks (Metal guarddogs that shoot) or do they randomly instakill you?

And please no cotton candy stick-style tricks. I want my psychotic butcher of a leader to live to flay another day.

As far as I can tell, that's just flavour text that indicates that the siege has escalated to its maximum level.

At any rate, if the military is deploying such measures against you, you're in trouble.

I'm not sure why anybody would want to bomb a safehouse in a populated city.

I have no fear of the military, I murdered about 20-30 of them without any hits. I still have the game paused because of paranoia, I'll wait a bit and see what others have to say.

It may be a surgical strike, or maybe they are just crazy and don't give a shit about collateral damage.

They can kill or wound people or destroynsome stuffs. They could instakill your leader if you're unlucky. Not as bad as the engineer removing the tank traps.

Probably both. Remember, in LCS the government is usually composed of FASCIST CONSERVATIVE SWINE who do not care about the well being of the people, only their wallets.

The jets will occasionally drop extremely inaccurate but extremely deadly bombs on your compound. If a liberal gets hit, they will probably die. Your only saving grace is that bombers weren't exactly meant to go up against infantry, so their bombs rarely manage to hit. It's just that this is the only thing the conservatives really have left, now that you've fought off the military and disabled their tanks. Three times in a row.

I think jet bombers should be replaced with helicopters... after all, that seems to be how the US army deals with terrorist safehouses.

I've considered it, but the sound of rotor blades isn't as immediately alarming as the sound of jets. Police and even the news media have helicopters. Could just call it military helicopters.

I always thought the bombs being dropped on your compound were a reference to this. Admittedly, the bomb in that operation was dropped by helicopter, but I always thought the jets were the delightful satire upping it a notch.

That area is gentrified and I knew many people who lived there when I went to college in Philly XD XD XD
