Fair question Flayed. Here is your answer: I have found that if they fail in the capture, they will not follow up with additional attacks. They melt away like roaches and go somewhere else.
Yesterday in LWO, offpeak time.
Saw a friendly NOE mission for an airfield posted. I don't have anything against NOE'S (when used sparingly), but I still didn't feel like joining, I went alone to a different base meanwhile.
That mission had a big turnout and
almost captured the base. I saw a big fight starting, with both full green and red darbar. I immediately upped a D9 and rushed to help my fellow countrymen to supress the enemy (and hopefully to get a few kills

), so that
we could still capture that base.
When I was there suddenly I found myself almost all alone and outnumbered (and dead pretty soon) while I read on countrychannel
"MISSION POSTED!"Yes, same leader, same personnel, the next 110/Lanc NOE on the other side of the map
