I am not sure, as I am at work and did not take the time to read in detail EVERY post that was made here.. but... here is the story on POTW from my perspective.
1. POTW is a large squad. Thus, we tend to have quite a bit larger numbers on than some squads at times.
2. POTW likes a variety of things. ANy given night you will find us
A. Furballing
B. Flying fighter sweeps
C. Running heavy bombers with escorts to facilitate base taking
D. Running the occasional NOE Raid.
Since the NOE is the crux of the matter here, i will give my viewpoint. Keep in mind this is MY viewpoint and not necissarily EVERYONES. However, we have the 3rd wing, which is a dedicated a2a wing. Granted, you cant tell which ones of us are 3rd wing but its pretty easy to tell.. we dont hang those smurfy green things of four wings!
NOE, we will perform an NOE suprise attack. Not a lot fo the time, but at times we will do so, generally speaking we try to find a base that has some strategic importance in directing the course of the "WAR"
If someone ups and disrupts our NOE, we dont pack up and go somewhere else.. we will fight. We will continue to up and come in to attack the base.
In MY opinoin I enjoy acm/furballs much more than either of the other 2, but in a squad that does all of these things, Just as they sometimes fly MY type of flight, I too sometimes do thiers. Each "style" is fun in its own regard. (although i always do A2A no matter which "style" we are doing at the time). The massive NOE raid is the least enjoyable for me, since usually there is not a decent fight. I try to get us going in fighter sweeps and/or historical style mass bombing raids (with escorts) aince I find both of these MUCH more enjoyable. But, as I said.. with a squad of such varied interests as POTW, each of us has to take a turn at doing something we dont care for, to appease those who do like that style.
