I'll say this much on the matter...
1) I enjoy flying against the few in small engagements. I have flown against many of the members in both the DA and the MA. I have even had a good time dueling Bruv in the DA. When they are not organized as a group or are only operating in small numbers its all good fun.
2) I have also experienced what debrody has stated. I even remember one time it was a 70v1, and bruv PMd me to jokingly tell me that he was going to 'stay out'. Granted the 70 wasn't all the few but this is what happens.
* The Few up a s a squad ~10+ members and join a furball. Being all above average sticks and almost all in spit 9/spit 8/spit 16s, they clear out the other red guys rather quickly. This leaves the remaining 2 or 3 red guys, who are usually the more experienced sticks to deal with a conga line of spits on their rear, and instead of being the usually noob in spits, its people at the same skill as them.
* Their fellow country men, seeing that the dar bar is in their favor and that the fight is now 'over the red guys' base, they all up and very rapidly, the 10v2 turns into a 70v2.
The part I don't understand, is why is this fun for them? I understand flying with your friends, but the doesn't receiving assist after assist get old? And being better sticks isn't the fun derived from the thrill and the challenge of the fight? (none of which is present in a 10v2 or 70v2).
