What I miss is a dedicated group of buff drivers... guys that form up; announce their target, and go do the damn job.
That excludes the new folks begging incessantly for 'escort' or 'gunners' (escort per se is a joke... what works is SWEEPS and HIGH CAP) and then proceed to hit the stuff on the field that makes not a whit of diffeence to a capture... and screws the frame rates by making smoke.
Note to newbies: DO NOT up from the field next to the one you are attacking and fly directly to the target. Try comming into the target area from a diffrent direction. You'll live longer.
Field capture prioity list:
VEHICLE HANGER; RADAR; ACKS; FH'S BH'S. In that order. Leave the fuel; ammo; barracks and such ALONE. We NEED that stuff to continue to attack the NEXT field.
If enuff buffs are available; hit the fuels and/or FH's on the adjacent next nearest enemy base in a COORDINATED effort... strikes should be happening on BOTH bases. Tag that radar too.
Target Priority List for a Single B17 w/500's or 1k's.. THE VEHICLE HANGER. Drop 3k. Be DAMN sure this goes down first. THEN EXIT THE AREA TOWARDS FRIENDLIES AND HOLD THE LAST 3K of EGGS FOR WHEN IT REGENS! It will. And it'll happen just as the goon gets there.
Target Priority list for the Med buffs w/ 250's or for a b17 w/250's.. RADAR FIRST! Then hit the acks. Time from the first ack dropped to the last ack dropped should be less than 5 minutes. Ignore other buildings.. keep the smoke to a minimum.
Target priority list for a Lanc.. Take 14 1k eggs and do the FH's. Just the FH's. If u are unsupported by other heavy buffs (no B17 on VH watch) Nail the VH first then the FH's. Remember to use 3 1k's on that VH.. not 2. It sometimes won't drop with just two from a heavy buff.. dunno why. It's a huge waste of heavy bomber power to tag acks with 1k eggs. Any fighter can strafe down an ack.. use that destructive power on the NEXT ADJACENT BASE if the base you flew too is already battered down.
Best possible buff raid in AH right now... 6 b26's. 2 with 250's on radar and acks, 4 with 4ea 1k's on VH and FH's. In less than 3 minutes 6 b26's can turn any med or small field into a wasteland. No long extensions; they can get on and stay on target better than the big guys can. And they can descend for peggin cockroaches with 250's after acks are down...
Gimme 6 b26's and 6 jabo fighters for 2 hours and I'll get 10 fields. Easy.
Gawd I wish we had the A26a Invader.
