hehe funny replies. I hoped it might get a chuckle, and maybe highlight to the generals how they were barking up the wrong tree, we could have helped them. I thought MrJumper's last comment was quite funny when you see the 5 solid fighters i had as wingmen there, couple more out of shot.
Buster you did a fine job of deffending our BnZ sorties for that hour. At least once i remember having to throttle up and run as you sent 50cals flying past my ear. S!

Don't sweat it! Base capture types have a quantifiable outcome to justify their exertions. They even get a fancy "in lights" recognition for each capture. So they feel like they are the rulers of the AH world.

See how far they get without the furballers on their side keeping the skies clear. There is no quantifiable data for "kill efficiency", but dedicated A2A types can knock bandits out of the sky exponentially faster than capture types. The kill that will take you two passes and 30 seconds might take a "capture type" two and a half minutes of dead six pursuit, and an entire clip of LA-7 20mm before that kill is made. Keeping the skies clear efficiently, or at the very least maintaining air combat balance, keeps IL-2's and A-20's from busting GV's. All sides play a part in winning the war, and whether furballers care or not, they play a very valuable role.

Absolutely right!!! Ignore that drivel.. I for one, REALLY APPRECIATE
having some good fighter guys watching my back.. When the town is down,
our friendly GV's are rollin, but too far away, and me and my trusty A20 are
the only thing denying the capture.. I NEED the fighter guys, or I'm a ded man..
You guys keep them off my back, long enough for me to take care of BIZ!!!

The question I have is why ROX and the other guy needed any help taking an undefended base?  Not like either of them will readily attack a base under attack if they can help it.

Oh, and congratulations Bat, any time you can make ROX look like a fool in or out of the game is a treat to behold.

I was really glad when I saw it was ROX.  I'd love to give my 2 cents about this self appointed general but I'd probably break like 3-4 rules and get a ban stick.

If base-takers would attack deFENDED bases, furballers would then converge for THEIR reasons, giving all concerned something to do....to some extent, base-taking provides a context in which to HAVE furballs. Of course, 40 planes noe negates all of that :frown:

Hey Bat!

Our guys like to defend or cap bases also. If ya get lucky you can drag one from the Ack and get a one on one!

Hordes don't like that......they prefer the 20 on 2.  Still....usually 10 of them get shot down fighting the 2.

Dontcha just love the hordes???    ;)
