Discussing tactics, pilots changing teams

We usually log in as Allied, but if the sides are out of whack our squadron is going to switch sides to even it. Just gonna let you know upfront.

Just to backup what Shifty says here, we will switch sides to balance numbers, we will only switch as a complete squad( we like flying together) but I can swear to you when we make a switch we will not exploit any information we picked up on the previous side.  

If there is a point where the numbers are steady on a regular basis and there is a greater effort made for planning we would be willing to commit to a side especially for specific nights.  But I don't think we are at that point yet.

He seems to have been pursuasive in imparting tactics to the axis side. The 110 feints to multiple feilds along with distraction group attacks away from the primary target are working with excellent results against us allies. We allies are allowing ourselves to split into small ineffective groups with no central push to take bases. We FURBALL and loose site of the big picture.

But then again the 110 in this period is a serious fast and effective JABBO while being a dangerous interceptor. The allies current fighters and single engined slow boat under armed limited bomb load JABBO tend to dampen our boys spirits along with everyone spending too much time defending and not attacking axis core feilds.

This defensive trend may change if the allies receive the B25C in the next round. At that point its bomb load will be worth the diversion attacks by lone players while massed fighter escorted B25 raids hit primary feilds. An up side for the allies is it looks like some pilots are naturaly discovering team tactics with combinations of F4F and Hurri to twhart the A6m's nible agility.

Hello Grampa Bustr,

I do feel a certain lack of cohesion on the Allied side.  There are moments of cohesion.  I have your answer to this problem...  TWITCHY!!!!  You are right on the figuring out how to employ the planes together to work enemy cons.  I think you left the Spit 1 out of the equation though.  She is every bit as potent as the Hurricane 1 against the A6's.  Thanks for the tip on the convergence settings last night Bustr.  Will see you tonight all!
