Organisation – a limited concept?

[gldnbb]

For me (not to avoid COMBAT) why should our squad up buffs only to be seen 20 sectors away, fly 2hrs just to get jumped by 100 152's, 262's, 163's, and many more fighters whom only have to put in about 20 minutes of flight time. So what I am saying is whats the point if your seen on dar bar

Absolutely False,  well sorta.   I have already led at least 4 consecutive bomber missions to the strats and back to land most of our pilot's bombers (b17s  and b29s).   Albiet you need to be sneaky in the raid,  minimizing dar bar  and  direction of travel, and having the appropriate altitude and fuel  to  survive long enough for primary escorts to do their job to allow you to survive just until  relief escorts  along your  egress home route to get you all the way home.     Escorts are KEY in strat missions,  or you'll get jumped by the determined fighter eventually.

Just last night I had almost two full Bishop Dars trying to climb up to my B29 raid,  however friendly escorts came just in time to tie them up long enough for ALL bombers to make it home safely <S>

I don't have a lot of trouble drumming up some opposition, either. It all comes down to fun.

Good for you, thndregg.  That spirit marks you as an old man, I believe.

Ha! Not there yet. I turn 40 in January.

I captured 3 or 4 bases yesterday simply by flanking the base and coming in about 120 degrees off of spawn.

It was pretty fun driving up and dropping troops 40 feet behind a bunch of enemy tanks all pointed at the spawn.

If you show up 180 degrees off of spawn, the manned base guns are pointed directly at you by default when someone spawns in one.

That's nice... but with what? I'm basically just asking questions, so "I agree" leaves me kinda puzzled   

 You ask the biggest questions at the bottom but all through your post you state out your observations and I can totally agree with them.  
People do hit strat but don't follow up and hit field strat to actually make use of the factory hit.  I try to follow up after hitting factories but 1 guy can only do so much.
It seems very hard for people in general to realize the impact they could make on their base taking effort if they would look beyond the base they are looking to take and neuter the bases in the vicinity or at least the one/ones with vehicle spawns then base taking life would be just a lil easier.  Just like another post in general discussion complaining about people resupping town and foiling the take attempt and all I can think while reading this whine is "why don't you pork?"  Especially if the factory has been hit.

no they arent. they point north by default.

Sweet.....nice to know that.

I was basing my observation on yesterday where we were fighting guys heading in from the south.

What is that game?  Looks intriguing..

A proper Strategy game looks like this;

And AcesHigh looks nothing like that   How can anyone organise properly without large arrows!?
