planes RTB at different Alt, a unit that is still a unit, will pretty fly at the same alt fighters on RTB, have a chance to start combat, and have a chance to defend in combat, FBs can fight, and will fight, when they are heading for home, you still do not want a Gruppen of 190s or 109s to bounce a RTB Squadron, but they will defend themselfs, and if they catch Axis planes, they can start combat the other part, I am trying to say, the LW can set up patrol zones, instead of intercepting the raids right from base/take off, when you got alt and postion, you can then order them to attack, you have the control of the attack, you know where the RTB paths should be, if JG 11 is going to attack and fly though the raids to head home, don't attack with it, change it's patrol zone, so it's RTB path is not in a Danger area same as with your heavies, you got them ready to attack the raid RTB and just as you are about to get there, you see a new Escourt group showing up, you have the choice to keep on the attack, or to recall the Heavies and keep them away from the Escourt, you may do major damage if you attack, you may take major damage if you attack, you may RTB and call it a day and hope for better luck tomorrow those controls are in your hand, if you leave them to the AI to finish off, you may not like what happens and to be honest, at times, it works out better if you leave it alone, that escourt group runs out of gas, just as it hits the raid, your 410s shatter a couple of BGs and pick off alot of stragglers, or the Escourts still have gas, and had a field day with your 410s I have seen 262s hit a raid and break and run away before any of my fighters can react, I have also seen 262s get bounced and picked apart, neither one, can I say, never would of/could of happened
