I remember in the not too distant past when a base take was much different.  One or two boxes of bombers, 5-8 heavy fighters, a few escorts, and 1 or 2 goons.  They would come in at 10-15k, drop the town and vh, and cap the field. This NOE to the corner of the map so no one will defend crap was nonexistant.
I would just file the above statement in the same archive folder with walking to school up hill both ways in a snowstorm.

Lol, people that whine about a base getting taken far from the battlefront must have never tried it. Its very exciting to take 3-4 mossies and a goon and fly for an hour or so and try to sneak one. I bet only 1 out of 20 are successful in this manner, but it is very rewarding when it occurs. I find the strategy and mentality of waging an attack on the most heavily fortified position rediculous. "You attacked an undefended base", of course we did, now who's the stupid one?

Some of us look to the game for fights ..... some don't. Get what you want out of the game.

What you find most exciting I find most boring.

If that is what you like then do it. I'll look for the fights.

Any player getting his a Ju-88 to the city strat and back alive can call himself lucky, considering his rides speed, attainable altitude and defensive armament.
It's not much better with attacks on CV's, a Ju 88 is very close to being dead meat on the table for every enemy fighter it runs across.

Attacking an Airfields Town's largest cluster will yield very good perks, as for Strat targets they are impossible now a days to hit, unless with long range 4E's.

Carriers are generally uncapped, I would say a good 75% are never capped let alone with fighters around 10-12k which yields the best chance to hit a CV, granted any fighter even at 6k can catch the buffs RTB, but I have still gotten over 15perks for sinking a CV in 88s and all planes were shot down.

I do CAP a CV myself, however last tour alone I racked up roughly 500 perks in Buffs just sinking carriers with high ENY buffs from Betties to Ju88s.

The Key is to find specific maps like the one where v85 is practically next to a Port, just about every hour you can sink the CV based on how close it is.

Sort of like shoplifting for thrills, I suppose. Go for it if that's what you like.

Gives ya goose bumps alright.

Kinda like when ya get some friends and ya'll go crawling stealthily into your older brothers
bedroom to steal some of his porn. After you grab it you all snicker and silently hi-five each
other for successfully pulling off such a bodacious mission!

When ya get back to the tree fort the dooshy pimply four eyed one blurts, "That was so
exciting I almost pee'd myself. The next time your brother aint home again let's go grab
some more!"

Perhaps this type of perk bonus would cause the side with the "less" players to better themselves.........  :uhoh

Don't reward the side with the most players who wins the war, instead, make them go home to their virtual wives and have children. Later, they can virtually retire and then watch their grand-kids attempt to virtually re-experience a microcosmic  fraction of they went through and still whine about the virtual war fruits of their labor aren't big enough for their liking.

No need to give the NOE hordes more reason to do it.

I don't lump all NOE's together. If you can pull off a mission with 3-4 mossies and a goon that's great.  I am talking about the 15-20 plane NOE missions to the corner of the map.  Those groups wouldn't even be able to deack a vbase with only 4 planes or kill the lone defender.
