Thanks Parts, looking at the in game messages whilst flying it was disturbing at one point to see Deacon kill 4 of our tanks in very quick succession! I believe that was at a point where 352nd had taken all of the objectives and knew that there was only one route to cover for our incoming tanks, a bit of a turkey shoot for a stationary well concealed tank picking out moving enemy tanks in relative low cover.
We already know what a huge advantage it is to be waiting, stationary, spotting and destroying moving targets. So it is a question of somehow setting the “ambush ?” first as a tactical imperative if possible.
The boys in the air did a great job of hammering air opposition but as has been said, ground attack against moving tanks in a built up area was almost impossible. It seemed like the 352nd had already agreed to turn into a side street if attacked from the air knowing the buildings would render a bombing attack run ineffective, it worked !
The concept of the match is a great one and good fun BUT, if we want to win we would have to take it a bit more seriously and prepare properly,( I am guilty on both counts btw), Points wise we won but that was not the criteria agreed, so we lost…… we will win the rematch though right boys ?!!
