You know something is not quite right when the best defence is to up a bomber
« on: January 01, 2018, 06:57:10 AM »
I know it was a well used tactic in WW2.  So well used that they used to coordinate groups of bombers to ward of the enemy attacks!!!   NO WAIT, that was fighters.

Bombers ripping fighters out of the sky is just stupid.

You mean they didn't use Lancaster formations to drop 30k of iron on a single tank ? Preposterous !  :bolt:

Sure 3X the kills, but not much of a fight.

A bunch of B26 sets flying between field and town, defended by Wirbie's must be the best way of defending a base...
And you see those stu... er.. brave Wirbys just after you are half-winged...

If I can pull fighters away from the fight I will orbit a base even after I have dumped my ords on my targets. If I see enemy bombers in the area I will try and chase them down. Meh, to each their own. If it works it works, is that the fault of the attacker or defender. I guess it just depends on the outcome of the situation.

And enemy tanks didn't camp behind the hangars and blow up anything that moved.

This is not a recreation of WW2. It's a game that happens to use WW2 stuff, where players can do whatever they want with them.

Yes.  When I have altitude and some speed I can get him.  Any other time it's a plane full of holes for me at least.
