1 5"er for every 3 hangars on a base, 360 degree traverse.
# of hangars include all of them ie; VH, FH, BH
The thought being: the 5"ers could be the 1st responders to the coming horde, and possibly disrupt the attack to a small degree. Or at least be a couple more targets that they must adress.
The 3 minute base capture is getting very old.
As I've said before the game mechanics of "mission planning" gives the attackers a huge advantage, there really is no possibility of and "organized" defense, due to time constraints and most peeps look at the red blob and think Hmm to be vulched or not to be? N O T ! Except for retarded me
I just think there should be some way to reasonably throw a tad bit of chaos their way
When base take is not on the agenda the 5"ers would keep the cherry horde at a standoff distance so a "REAL" contest might develope
