Idea discussed at the con.

That's kinda the whole point here Gutt....you can't up and stop the pork attacks.

One fast fighter comes screaming in from high.  It takes exactly one or two passes at a field to pork it (troops).  Even if you manage to get 10 friendlies in the air, the porker is gonna get his two passes before he gets killed in 95% of the cases.  

I don't know about you, but I see this as a ridiculously imbalanced defense/setup.  4-5 friendlies in the air, AI and manned gun defenses on the ground and a single enemy fighter can render a base all but useless in one to two passes.  It doesn't add up well.

Ok rabidrabbit, then it appears we agree on things....I see now you were talking about HT's proposal (we both dont like it).  Sorry for the confusion.

SB, what exactly are the game features "we" are looking for?  Who is "we"?

Oh crap like new planes, new cockpits, features like the new stick stuff that came out, better usability of the terrain editor...should I go on? You interested in that or am I alone here?

Maybe I am missing something.

How does a lack of troops make a base "all but useless"?

To me a base is useless when the FHs are down.

Ill take it a step further..a base is useless when all hangers are down at the same time.
You think guys "Ran" and "Avoided fights" before? Wait till this new idea is set into motion.
