Radar HQ, simply too easy?

Good point Flathead.
Usually taking out the radar leads to some attempted field nappping too. After the Knights got our radar I just patroled along the mountains in my FW and sure enough low and slow Dakotas... I got two or three of them before the Corsairs showed up and found me low and slow......

Precisely! In a perfect world you'd have had me flying higher in a Pony or Corsair to vector you onto the goons and try to give you some high cover. 'Stang's probably a little better for the job because of the superior visibility.

Even without radar, you could probably defend an entire sector of the front with 5 fighters--2 pairs and a single. One pair intercepts, the second covers the interceptors and the odd man out flies high recon and calls out vectors. Call this winning hand "two pair, suicide king high."

Those human radars/AWACS has some realibility problems though  
I could say that not even 10% of players online is organizable.
Usually players just goes there where others and does not much care of getting organized.
(at least you guys can't say I haven't tried  )
It sounds good to have all escorts and recon planes, but can you do it also, thats different matter.

Fishu,
I agree with you! Fifeteen bombers that leave a field, and split up into multiple elements and proceed to specific individual
targets. Each of which are time determined and pre planned is NOT organization! When there are 56 Players in the arena on all sides this certainly is NOT above 10%! And when the city is totally FLATTENED, the HQ & Radar Complex FLATTENED and the Fuel Complex
FLATTENED this sort of thing is typical of an unstructured non organized flying invironment! I REALLY VALUE YOUR OPINION ON THIS ONE! Some pilots may be to busy furballing or being altmonkeys to grasp that SOME of the others in the arena ARE trying to be more organized! I see the cup half full not half empty! )
