It happens from both sides, funny thing is how a person's perspective on "ganging" changes. One minute you're up with 3 buddies fighting 1 or 2 or 3 baddies, and that's alright, "they shouldn't tried to fight all of us."
Next sortie, you start off fighting one bad guy, look back and there are 5 of them on yer ass......it ain't so funny anymore, "Gangbanging bastages!" you shout as your plane plummets earthward................
I haven't flown much in the CT the last two terrains 'cause: a)I severely dislike the Channel one; and b)the Sicily is nice, but I can't see the cons til they are "right THERE" inside 1.0K. Something about the colors in there I guess, I just can't get into planes disappearing into the terrain when I know they should be visible.......
