hang even I don't have trouble getting kills.  even my mediocre skill level allows me to get kills.  In fact, I get easier kills now with the fighter hanger de-roofing "strat" model.   I have very little talent but I can usually kill that one poor con being chased by ten frindlies first.   It is the quality of the fights that is so poor lately.  Gangbang or get gangbanged is the result of the simplistic strat.  It is less fun is all.

course I could allways just fly 51's and then it wouldn't matter but I have more fun in fighters.

I believe that wittingly or not, sob is talking about one of these rare (these days) times when a lot of people in pretty even numbers were fighting between two fields.  This is the most fun for the majority but is easy to shut down with a couple of laser boms by a suicide jock.  when that happens the field remais open and a virtual "no mans land"  it effectively makes it useless for everyone.  The time to the nearest field effectively doubles (or triples if numb nuts goes on to deroof a couple more outhouses).

If the field were at least captured... then the result would be more fighting between fields.  soooo.... make fighters available longer at fields and make fields easier to close and capture at the same time.  let's get things moving a little.

Ah.. so sorry, I lost track. Had no idea strat had changed regarding hangers and such.. and I'm particularly startled to discover that a P51 is not a fighter.

Oh well.. live and learn.

Note that a 51B does count as a fighter.  I think it may be the color....
