As it is, I saw 4 of them today in 4 or 5 sorties, and saw someone land 4 kills in one, so they are hardly out of the action.

I have to agree with this, jet encounters occurred, but they were quite rare (although bombers probably saw them more frequently than fighters).

Fact is, this is the point in the war where the LW was taking it in a dark and ugly place.  The disparity in numbers, and in airplane quality, that we're seeing here seems to me to be pretty factual.  Hey, back in the 1940-41 part of the RPS we all knew this was coming.  It's only going to get worse today and tomorrow.  Now is the time for all Real Virtual Men to show their true colors.

While I agree with Storch that basing British and US fighters at the same fields is NOT generally historical, separating them by zone will probably bring on the True Nightmare of Spitfest, where most of the allies are flying at the Spit bases, and the LW will actually encounter a greater number of the ladies.

I have a complaint.

I dont care about the numbers, planes, timidness, lameness, gangyness, runnyness, altiness, or spittyness of the acklied.  

What bugs me is that they are so BAD.

Makes me want to go acklied just so I can fight against some capable players.

Let me get this right, from the KING KONG of "ALTINESS" .  You are the worst at Alt.  I consistly run into U with your "Gangyness and Altiness"  so what the heck are you whining about.  Stick to climbing and running butthead!
