Small maps = no options but furballing.
not true,
1 gather a sizable group of bombers and c47's (some with supplies some with troops)
2 take off from rear to bases gain superior alt (at least 20k or higher)
3 penetrate deep into unprotected enemy territory
4 split force into three attack groups with different objectives
5 target 2 V bases first (they must both have a spawn point into the same F base)
6 capture, preferably both, but at least one of these V bases as fast as possible (bomb them flat from alt, if no uppers then avoid hitting hangers if possible, and drop troops at the same time)
7 as soon as capture is made drop supplies, all empty rides (bombers fighters C47's) land on/at V bases
8 while troops are running bombers and remaining C47's continue on to targeted F base
9 as soon as possible those that landed or were shot down re-up gv's from the captured V base(s) some to remain and defend it some spawn into the F base the remaining bombers are in route to.
10 all remaining bombers, with fighter assistance, should destroy the town from low alt (5000 feet or so) and only the GV hanger at the targeted F base.
11 fighters that cannot destroy town buildings should engage and destroy all upping fighters and GV's before they can cover the town.
12 multiple C47's should drop troops as soon as possible
13 drop any remaining supplies where they will be of most use
14 land and immediately re-up to defend all captured property
the rest of the world is generally going to be to low and wrapped up in the furballs to climb up to defend against it.
with a good escort of fighters (some heavy with bombs and rockets) you should be able to ward off any of the few defenders willing to take the time to climb up to intercept you.
once you hit the first base then you will be getting alot of unwanted love, but stick to the plan and work it.
live or die lose or win it would be a fun mission at the end of it all.
i would love to be apart of it if you could organize enough players to pull it off.
my guess would be 10-15 bomber formations (3 each) 8-10 C47's (6 troops the rest supplies) 15 or more escort/attack fighters (split between heavy and light)
Good Luck and Gods Speed!!!
