LOL!
Anybody here ever see a base thats been hit by the FDB's?? There usually ain't NOTHING left.. and if something regens, and we have no ammo we all usually auger into it. But thats just us FDB's.
In answer to the question, even if the field is wiped into oblivion, after the capture the survivors of the assault there can refuel and rearm from the pads and carry on to the next base attack. If the attack fails I usually switch onto another field with a fresh mission... I prefer to strike where the enemy is not waiting at alitude for the next wave after beating down the first wave.
Back in the good old days (before we wound up with all these guys that can't drop troops without video instructions) we could put 6-8 guys that knew their stuff together and slap down 6-8 fields in two hours. Don't get me wrong.. there are some very sharp new guys in the sim now, comming in from the other defuct or sub-standard games and they contribute a lot... but it just ain't the same as it used to be. No complaints.. just an observation.
Missions can be fun... or a freakin nightmare. All depends on who joins and if they have a clue as to what to kill and how to do it. Mission tasking is not hard... untill you get 4 guys in key slots that ask 2 min from target "How do I open the bomb bay doors??" Or "I'm not sure what an ack looks like.. how do i know it's an ack?"
Now, I realise not everybody has all the answers.. but while I'm flying inna mission I am NOT in a training frame of mind.
Anyway, all who join; thanks again.. when they go right, they are fun; ain't they?? <S!>
