2 pearl harbor configurations for CT

Incidentally, in checking around for the most specific types and numbers of aircraft on Oahu when Pearl Harbor was attacked, here is the best source I've found:

http://www.ww2pacific.com/aaf41.html

This list should be invaluable for all Pearl Harbor scenarios, e.g., 87 P-40B, 11 P-40C, 39 P-36A, 6 P-26A, and 6 P-26B at Wheeler; 11 F4F-3 at Ewa; no fighters at Hickam; 8 P-40C and 2 P-36A at Haleiwa; 5 F4F-3A, 5 F4F-3, and 8 F2A-3 (Buffalo) at Ford Island .

I've read a lot about Dec. 7, 1941, but had no idea there were so many fighters on Oahu and none at Hickam that morning.

Several times I have asked why capture is nesessary in the CT. I have never recieved a valid answer. Last time I have been involved in a capture attempt it was for a lone base so we could get a perked plane back. Most CT regulars dont care much about capture (i think?). Whenever I see a base get taken its almost always some wank-tard clear on the other side of the map milkin. Some squads run ops on their squad nights in the CT, but i think even they would not mind doing something other than capture for the chance to play on a new and unique map.

Then again, I am an idiot.

I think at least the possibility of base capture should be present.  There have been whole CT squads who have stated that their goal is base capture in the CT.  Often times base attack is the driving force behind many of the furballs.  Take away base capture and you in turn lose one of the driving forces behind attacking the base in the first place.  Even if no one launches a goon to capture the field,  I think the idea that someone COULD makes attacking the field worthwhile to the average player.  The more facets of gameplay that can be successfully incorporated the better we're off in the CT.

If you want to re-enact it I'll have to put it up a night early and only tell the axis flyers. :)
