Hi Gents
Oldman.....Let me take a second and step back to explain. The taking of the lower island was in response to the axis doing the same earlier. I never had any intent on taking the entire map, and I intentionally left the northern islands untouched so the axis and allies could fight. All northern islands remained untouched, the closest airfield was no more then 1/2 a sector out, no long distance flights necessary.
Storch.....My squad practices wingman tactics and work together as a team. The plane set in the CT this week favours the Japanese with niki's, ki84's, and zeke's. The American's have the f4u-c, f4u-1, and f4u-1d. The plane we have which has the best chance to turn with the niki's an ki's is the f4u-1. The most effective tactic for the other 2 is to extend and BnZ the Japanese planes.
As for you getting "ganged" by bustr an yucca is your fault. Ever hear of Maj. Thatch and the tactic he developed called the "Thatch Weave". It was specifically designed to counter the superior flight characteristics of the Japanese planes during the early war period.
If you want to fly alone, go right ahead, but don't whine about getting owned by by my squadmates when they work together as a team.
As for bustr extending, excellent, he's using that planes strenghts against your weaknesses. That's what you're supposed to do. We prefer to fight on our terms, not yours.
