Thats only on the knits because they suck at helping eachother. I'm not even joking, knights are just about the easiest prey since they all seem to fly alone.

Yeah, and rooks fly 20k+ and Bish run NOE missions everywhere.   :rolleyes:

So the purpose of having a glider is to have one C47 fly to base#1 drop 10 troops and then fly to base#2 and drop the next 10?   :lol
Thanks for proving my point this wish is absolutely pointless.

I never said they did.

Oh I see what you're saying, I don't really care either way, this would add nothing to the game.

Not all, but that does appear to happen with about 50% of the players. But I was kind of talking fighters there.

You obviously have not run into the the Knights that I see and fly with day in and day out.  You would never have made such a silly statement.

Just based on what I've seen flying bombers (lack of large numbers of other planes at any substantial altitude) and fighters (reletavily large number of low flying [sea level almost] bombers), you are right that bish do fly NOE's quite a bit.
