Aha!! Ok, thanks Regis, yes they sure did.


assuming the game was a fighter sweep of some sort...so the side that retreated has been swept from the sky...and cannot possibly score a victory of ANY sort

you CANNOT achieve air superiority by shooting down one aircraft and running away...this whole retiring with honour business is just nonsense

Actually, a fighter sweep that kills an enemy and gets away is a win. Combat usually boils down to attrition. Killing an enemy and flying away may not give you superiority that day but over time it will. I guess it all depends on what the immediate objective is.


well my understanding of the objective of a fighter sweep is to clear the opposing force from the sky...so if you fail to do that...then you fail in the mission no matter how many planes you shoot down...
clearing the sky of enemy fighters leave the enemy on the ground vulnerable to the ground attack planes...or the bombers...or the recon aircraft

killing a fighter or two and running away may look good when tallying kills....but wont amount to a hill of beans when the bombers are leveling your industrial centres...unopposed fighters are straffing your airbases...and the ground troops are pushing forward under the air umbrella that was not cleared away

by your thinking Litehoof...the German airforce would have eventually defeated the Allies in World War Two instead of being crushed the way it actually was
