Hey Wild Blue, I know where you're coming from. You guys have many times split your squad either side to help the balance. We are trying to establish a 308 RAF presence in the CT, so naturally we like to fly allied when British planes are available. We try to make up for it by lying Axis at other times. Also, of course you want to fly USN iron when possible. We knew going in that we would fly IJN to give you guys an opponent - there were just too few of us to make much of a difference, although we had a great time with a squad of P47's earlier in the night.
I don't know the answer, and I hate to see Lowe and oboe formally split the squad when you guys do such a great job of informally sidebalancing.
