We lost at least two and maybe three of our 262 bases in this single frame. I suspect that the Allies will vulch the remaining base(s) rather than closing them in the next 3 frames because dead 262s are worth 4 points (compare that to 5 points for us if we shoot down a B24 or 15 points for the Allies if they close another LAF). The alternative would be to allocate a large part of our fighter force to capping the 262 airfield(s), our aircraft just aren't a good matchup in low and slow turnfights and the field ack is useless. My suggestion would be that we abandon the 262s temporarily, assign those pilots to other aircraft and avoid digging the score hole deeper in Frame 2. Let them spend assets for at least one frame capping empty 262 fields while we beef up our bomber interception force and chip away at targets with NOE jabos.
Hawk,
Just wanted to make sure you saw this tidbit from trigr. I think the allies will push hard to catch the jets trying to takeoff or land. It might make sense to spread the field a bit.
