Forethought when you engage...... you were too close to the base, or you drove him too close to the base. When you are in the vicinity of a base, you must assume someone is in a gun. Just as if you are close to a VH spawn, there may be wirbs.
That is good advice and I, like most of you, do that.
Wirbs and standard ACK can be effectively avoided. 88's range and accuracy are a
significantly greater threat.
I think asking to get a kill credit for killing a manned 88 is a very modest request in this context.
Thank you.
