@Soulblighter:

@Shin:

You actually did kill one bomber with that intercept.  It doesn’t show up in the log for some reason, but it happened.  1/7 is about what you’d expect (in fact, that’s why i sent two!)

I would expect 3 dead planes, maybe 4. So it is still way below average.

Including the AAs?  Oh yea.  I was just talking about the intercept specifically.  I know it doesn’t help you, but I’m in another game right now where I’m losing fully 50% of my bombers to AA fire.  So somebody is getting that luck!
