I had WarMark's NOE Ki-67's on my pelt and landed within 2 minutes for the formation. Come up from underneath after a dead six flaming of the lead buff. He didn't fire with the 3rd one. Dieisel (20k) was doing the same thing and my 262 annihilated his Lancs as well on the previous hop. Had one of the NOE hoarders at least attempted to give the poor guy Escort, he might have fared better, longer.
Personally, while I find the use of 5+ NOE Formations of Bombers last night at A133 the most pathetic style of game play to had......I enjoy smacking them down like down. It goes to show you how some of these "Generals", really have no concept of tactics, or a desired attempt at learning. The "escorts" are pock marked around the field.
Most "Generals" fail in the "Organized" area of logic. They make up for it by having an amoebic attack force.
They don't realize they should maybe try a better "tactic". Attack the same field, but send the Buffs out 3 minutes ahead of everyone else. Roll the Escort fighters and then wait another 3-4 minutes on the Goons. This way there is no need for an NOE Lancstuka mission. Most fighters will NOT be able to get enough Bombers to negate the capture. It's not "why you do it?", it's "how you do it".
It took the 4 hours I was on last night to get 133. So yes, while it was finally taken, it shouldn't have taken that long, AS EVERY FIELD IN THE SURROUNDING AREA WAS ROOK.
I believe I am saying what Waystin is trying to convey. Waystin, if I'm incorrect, let me know. But I think the crux of this is between love muffines taking TT bases and this A133 dweebery, game play that definitely sucks, is encouraged.
