Ok Ive been corrected.Heres a shot of you dropping down for some base defence against those pesky spit fires.

Thats not base defense Dea but looking at your online performance I can see why you might think thats what it takes. The frustrating thing about attacking 30k bombers (and sometimes higher) is that they can out turn a P-51 and the wiser ones now try to stretch out their drones as much as possible so that when they warp back into place the attacking fighters collide with them. I know you probably havent see that down in the mud but it happens a lot. Then after they are finished they will call to their friends and drag you down low so that after you are finished killing them (dragging a fighter down low is a BAD idea for bombers) you will get jumped by higher fighters. Usually the higher fighters DO NOT know what to do with altitude and make for easy kills.
Just to make a point... two days ago I was ranked 173 in fighters and in two sorties of high altitude bomber interception I moved up to 50 and then one sortie the following day to 40 something so even though some might think it hurts your 'score' (not that I care)... I dont think so. Yes you (and I dont mean YOU DrDea) can kill faster in base defense but killing fighters is not the primary mission of fighters and as a purist I go where my mission leads me and not where landing lots of kills or instant gratification calls. I also dont see how intercepting high bombers is 'ruining the game' but I think thats a lame agenda speaking there.
