quite simply.. It is the distance between fields.   close fields allow early war planes to engage and either die, respawn and rejoin the fight or kill and return to base or... capture.

long distance between fields practicaly force the use of late war planes who are not comfortable in any crowd that is not all friendlies.. late war planes by nature avoid large fights that are co alt or co e.   this leads to the timid steamroller behavior.

if you are a late war fan then self interest will make you advocate long distances between bases since the only furball you want to see is below you and small... you want to be able to dive in while the furballer target of choice is slow and engaged in the fight and you want to be able to exit without the chance of someone then picking you for a target.   You want less density of players.   You are a dishonest timid chicken sh**..  but then, that is only my opinion.

Well, then your opinion is ignorant and bigoted against those players of a different sort. I also don't think you can justly call me a -

bacially call me a timid altmonkey, since i recall yesterday i was low (under 3k) in a friggen 109G10 turnfightin (stallfightin) your N1K. So i don't really know why you decided to spew that - maybe you're just upset because i won. No, i won't duel you because im' hardly a decent pilot but i'm not afraid to die to learn

But this is getting off topic.

rut... I think that you have given the perfect example of your style... the event you talked about was you in a low level raid with at least 20 other planes attacking an UNDEFENDED field with about 4 bomber groups and escorts.  

I got hit by the guns from 2 groups of three low level (on the deck) fluffs and lost an elevator and rudder and one aileron and 2 guns.   I was pretty helpless trying to bleed off enough speed to ditch..  you and every other milkrunner in the group tried to kill my trying to ditch  the helpless nik.... so what would you say the odds were?   20 to 1?   congrats on being the prize winner.. the only guy to get a kill in the whole raid.  do you really think you could outturn a nik in a G10 under nrmal circumstances?

Now... I know you thought that "raid"was a real nail biter but I would hazard to say that most adult sane players would have found a 30 minute raid on helpless toolsheds with one kill for 20 guys to be pretty darn boring..

And that is the difference between us... other than... I don't thing about my self near as much as you think about me.
