I was new to the game Always will be I guess and defending a base when a low set of bombers pass over the field. I take off after them in my Nik1. Burn up my whole load of ammo shooting them down and turn back to my base thinking, "Finally I'm gonna land some kills."
I line up on the runway and drop throttle when the field ack starts firing at me. Of course I'm not the brightest bulb in the box, so I'm looking around for the enemy con that has surely snuck up on me, I mean, after all, why else would my field ack be firing at me! Can't see him so I figure I'll just drag him through the ack, and let it do its intended job.
As I stand in the tower scratching my head I check the map only to realize the base I'd been attempting to land at had been captured while I was distracted by the bombers.
