RIF ( READING IS FUNDAMENTAL )

But as for baulking about upping from the base under attack in order to save it - Awwwwwww, come on Mars. You've always been on and on about how you like to fly from a disadvantage. But when it comes to saving one of your bases you baulk.

Good morning, Lala Boy!

I did read your post... Yep, our guys in the BoB had to take off from fields that were being vulched, the difference being that Jerry didn't fly P51/LA7 and couldn't stay too long because of fuel endurance. For England, it was a life or death struggle. The way the films shows it, we DID have a bunch of Interlopers - Leigh Mallory's Big Wing, but they were too far away to do any good, much to the disgruntlement of Air Vice Marshal Parke.

As you said, it IS futile - when the guy you shot two minutes ago is back in 2-3 minutes with a re-armed LA7. I once watched helplessly on one of the children's maps as about 8 guys in a P51 lemming squad staged a pork-n-augerfest at my base. I knew how few of them there were when I got a prox kill on one guy the second time. They were able to keep the conveyor belt going until our field lay in ruins - 25% fuel, and most people just gave up.

It would take many more of them to do a conveyor belt job on Pizza map.

Is there a new map up yet? Haven't logged on - haven't even downloaded Patch 7 yet.

Grimm I think the one main problem and disconnect is that there are two objectives.

1) To find a fight and hope it keeps on going.
2) To kill as much strat as you can to reduce the fight and capture a field.

Unfortunately these two objectives are complete opposites and when the two clash there is no resolution.

Personally I like it when a base capture is hard and two sides have to battle it out for hours.  Others don't they want to kill strat stop the fight ASAP and quickly take the base.

I think this post needs to be made into a "sticky". It summarized all the whinning in the forum in a few simple sentences. Mars!

  LOL! I was looking at some old films yesterday, and found one where we were fighting the same battle - as Rooks. I came in at about 6K (Mars01 would estimate my alt as 19K) and you were at about 4K (15K on Mars01's altimeter )
