RE: Our First 1/2A Combat Day
It does my heart good to see others flying 1/2A combat! Too bad we live so far apart. With so many planes up at once, there is going to be alot of bumping, some of it accidental, so hauling a little bit of heft will keep you in the game. The challenge is to see just how light and small you think you can go, before you give away too much toughness and span. I am of the school of thought that I would rather have more scoring opportunities with a light ship, and just make sure that I don't run out of planes. What makes this event so interesting is that it is so power limited, that it makes all the other decisions you have to make about design and flying tactics that much more critical. Luck will always be a major factor in combat, but the slower you go, I feel the less luck comes into play.
