  Now I for one think base capture has its place in the CT ,
  that being said I dont see it all that much, but I like the occasional chalange to try to take a base form time to time its kinda of a realese of anger from having a bad night of flying .

 I think you have to cater to all types of people and there style of play in order to have a successful product, although I see the CT as a moderate success it is far and away the best thing going when compared to the MA, to me atleast.

 This game/hobby will never be able to make absolutly everyone happy is not supposed to therefore it would become boring and stale . I started playing this game a year ago never even played an online game or even knew anything about airplanes and how to fly them otherthan what I read in books and saw in documenteries on WWII which can be scewed at times.  And although I have improved somewhat from when I first started I still have a long long way to go before I can concider my self a top level sim flyer, but the fun is getting there
I try to excell at all aspects of this sim not just one and base capture happens to be one of them.

   sorry

I dunno about base capture... Remember months ago when some ppl were nuking and grabbing bases off hours leaving very little territory for the other side, or taking away their carrier groups?  That kinda sucked.  In the MA, I used to help fly goonies to capture bases and stuff, and I think I am able to take out quite a few of the acks at the fields on my own before getting hit now, but I don't choose to anymore.  The MA is getting kinda boring - now I'll find the place with the biggest red and green bar and jump in.  I don't really care much about capturing bases anymore.  In the CT I like when there are good numbers on both sides and a fight is going on.  Then there is no need to worry about losing fields or ganging.  

This mission/counter mission was a breath of fresh air.  I climbed to meet the formation, then shadowed them trying to stay away from the escorts.  I chose to attack when they were about to/just dropped their bombs.  However, just before I engaged the buffs, the wife called and said she was coming home.  I just couldn't really get into it after that because I knew my time on was limited (have to move my car onto the street since we only have one parking stall here.. and my car is older).  But it was fun all the way up until the dancing buff and the tiff at 23k.  Would love to do it again.
