I'll give you another example, me and a few squadies were busy defending and atacking this base or that base. somebody noticed a dar bar that appear to have bombers 1/2 across the map they were not even coming our way. they upped with fighters and flew like 5 or 6 sectors. i was busy in a bombers so it took me 20 minutes to up a fighters, i came in a 262. they attacked the bombers, then the escorting fighters then the enemy fighters that came to attack the bombers. by the time i got there there was only 3 friendlies left, low on ammo and no fuel to rtb. i got one kill then had to rtb alone as all my squadies were dead. my squadies had fun, i had fun even if i only had 1 kill and had to rtb alone.
same thing happened last tuesday, we noticed a darbar way in the back not even close to a base being attacked. boom, we knew bombers are getting alt. we upped like 15 of us, we flew across the map, mix of 262's and fighters. we found them harassed them, we got some of them they got 1/2 of us. enemy fighters upped trying to help bombers, we fought our way in and our way out, well not me, i decided to ho a formation of b17's, it didnt go well. but i had fun, my squadies had fun, pretty sure the bombers had fun shooting at us, the fighters that upped to help the bombers had fun.
make your own fun, sure you dont have to fly across the map to have fun, but if you need to then do what it takes.
