EDIT: the rules have been changed to allow fighters to attack ground targets with machine guns only - see rule 3(b) above

See RULE changes above concerning FIGHTERS.

Seems that kill was legal fogel old boy.

[FogelGT]

Noted elsewhere on this board:

note: fighters can therefore destroy ground targets, but only using machine guns (no bombs or rockets against ground targets)

seems to contradict part of Rule 12:

Any targets destroyed by fighters, the target points value will be awarded to the enemy team

So the question then becomes if a dump can be downed by a figher, and it can using mg ammo only, but may it be downed by a fighter without giving the points to the opposing side?

S! all, thanks Fogel, I have removed the section about "Any targets destroyed by fighters, the target points value will be awarded to the enemy team".

That was my mistake, I should have removed it when we changed the rules to allow fighters to strafe and destroy ground targets with machine guns only.
