Isn't this a lot like the field capture thing in attack mode for squads? I always thought that was stupid. Maybe there is something I'm missing about it, but it was explained to me that in order to score a capture for your squad in attack mode, you have to drop troops, bail, the up a plane in attack mode before they take. I just don't get why it would be set up that way. I'm not sure if it still is like this, I was told this about 2 years ago. If it is, it's silly IMHO.
