Actually I changed sides and spent a number of sorties killing C47s when up until the LCA's brilliant plot I was having a blast trying to kill planes that would actually shoot back. It was a complete waste of my time necessitated by a few griefer's insistence on trying to ruin FT for everyone...
I'd love for someone to tell me what the strategic point of attacking that FT base was... Let's see here...
The main target was the Knight airfield...
The Knights were already down to less than 20 (or so) bases.
Probably a good 1/4 to 1/3 of the Knights were having fun in FT, ignoring the defense of the 20 or so other bases.
Of those 1/4 to 1/3, I know I ran into quite a few names who could mount a serious defense against any mission launched at one of those other 20 bases.
So what was the point? Kick those 1/4 to 1/3 outta FT so they have no choice but to defend the other 20 or so bases? No offense, as I'm sure there are exceptions, but the majority of people in these grief raids don't exactly strike me as the sort of people who like a good challenging dogfight...
Basically, from a "win the war" perspective, capturing FT is about as big a blunder as one can make.
This brings me to my earlier thesis that these LCA types are either strategic idiots, or out to ruin people's fun just for the sake of ruining it.
