A key to understanding how the system works may be helpful. We would strike a field, any field close to the front as you normally would, killing the objects. As soon as your aircraft appear over the field, that field will also spawn a antiaircraft gv routine that will move around and take potshots at you. These have to be killed to get the field to go gray and capturable. As long as the field objects are up that antiaircraft gv routine will continue to respawn when they are killed UNTIL the objects are down upon which, they don't respawn. So.....your gonna want to kill them AFTER the field objects are down. When you fly out of range, they will disappear, but reappear when you fly back into range Whether or not jabo is gonna rule em closed and captured at that point, OR allow them to be trooped is his call. ATM, if the contested field is within range etc with a x in y chance of occurring...The General on both sides MAY generate a capture/recapture routine that would have an x in Y chance of succeeding. Of course striking the enemies capture routine would certainly help our own sides routine getting in. It can be a lot of jabo work ( pun intended) but if it goes right, a truly positive interactive way to support the ground war from the air.....that's the idea anyway. It certainly raises the bar as far as coordinating strikes and cover IMHO

Horrido!
I am with Darryl about unclear criteria and "points" and such.
Also agree with Dobs about the lite line-up. And I am really upset about having to fly a myriad of planes throughout the series. Good grief! Give us one or two planes and let us improvise, innovate, find a way, overcome. We have not had a lotta time to get used to the new flight models, and not we have to witch every week or so. Ditto whine for the fuel load -75%. Let us use what fuel we have to to get the mission done, and it's bad enuf we already have the 75% fuel divisor.
I am not clear what the field closure criteria is. Para troops taking the tower? Destruction of all tgts and then para drop? What is required? The "rules" are not real clear about this.
Oh well, the Nomad folks will do what needs to be done to help the Axis critters crawl to the English Channel and try to reduce the ack for other attack pukes like us.
Whoa! New downgrade when trying to fly the assigned aircraft and such. May need to tell all, huh?

Think of it this way. You are ordered to support the ground forces attacking a set area. You can decide to either CAP the ground forces with fighters only and/or insert bomber\strike missions to help them along. Depending on what you think the enemy airforce will do you can then choose your missions. You do not have to bomb targets in support of the FEBA. But it is probably wise to make sure the enemy cannot bomb the FEBA and help advance their ground forces either.
Everyone is getting side-tracked by the FEBA. Before we would indicate where the enemy was attacking and\or defending and left it up to the Frame CO to decide if it was prudent to attack and/or defend there. The only thing that has changed is that the General will attack and defend without your interference. That does not mean fields will fall quickly or in succession, especially the strung out Tac fields of the ETO. Before based upon history and the result of a frame we would move the front. Now based upon the support shown the FEBA we will do the same. But support is a relative term, putting the majority your fighters over the FEBA is very strong support in a defensive way. Sending your bombers to an undefended locality may be the smart move gaining you points but still protecting your FEBA from enemy advances with the fighter CAP.
Bf110s are best used to escort high-flying bombers where their speed advantage can at least run away from the Hurricanes. Use down low should be limited to jabo strikes on GVs\locations or shipping.
