Nothing to see here, move along

I can't speak for Jam but I can give you my observation.  Last night started out great fun fights then I went to the MA for a bit to fly with my squad.  When I came back the axis had more so I went Allied.  Our airfield was totally covered with red.  It looked like a 5v2 right as you took off.  So I upped farther back.  I even saw axis saying this is overboard I'm out.  To the axis credit they did pull back but I have no idea how long this had been hapening.  I will also say if it's 5v1 or 5v2. And only one of the 5 is engaging it's still difficult to keep up.  Also when I finally got to the fight the guys where high and BNZing which is technically the way you should fly a 109.  Just like how pand only runs and picks in the pony perfect strategy.  But how much fun?   Jam it's usually really fun try it again but everyone is human here and wants to win so when it gets crazy I just go to the MA for a while.

yes, fly high, one of my tactics is to fly under you and come up from underneath and behind you....ooops!

Yes, by all means, fly high.  It's an effective tactic.

to easily spot cons....you either need to fly in the weeds, or fly above 6k agl. that i think is the zoom alt of most fighters...........

We fly squad night on Tuesday and try to get two sorties in as a squad before going free play. lately it hasn't been a problem, there has been plenty of opposition. The problem is that some times you can be right in the middle of a sortie when the numbers flop.

Having two folks on the other side, in the arena but not flying, also skewed the numbers.

When we first took off, the numbers were like 6-5 but then when we saw that there were only two rooks in flight, 3 of us broke off and headed out to sea and didn't come back into the combat area till the numbers in flight evened out a bit.

If we know the numbers are lopsided before take off, we will often split into two flights and have one fly a jabot on an out of the way strat or something, until numbers even out.

i think you guys just side-switch to spy.

I may have been one of the 2 that was AFK last night. I wasn't in the right frame of mind to get serious about flying and was getting my butt shot up left and right... would have been a good night to have stayed away. I think it was Shifty that even tried to assist me and get me headed the proper direction...that was much appreciated.
