Hi all and Merry Christmas! I am posting this on Christmas Eve and I hope that I am posting this up in the right place (sorry if I'm not!), but I wanted to ask what would be the best tactics for escort duties? When I play with fellow AOD members who choose to fly as bombers, I fly escort fighters to protect them. It's quiet most times, but rewarding when I shoot down a careless enemy pilot who chooses to attack a bomber under my protection. What would be the best fighters for escort duties and what are some good tactics for escort combat?

My second question has to do with Premium aircraft for the Japanese and the Russians. What would be, based on your recommendations and experiences, the best aircraft to buy and save up for? I'm good with bombers (dive bombers mostly and heavy bombers, but only for stationary targets) and fighters, (mostly on ground targets and bomber killing missions). Any premium aircraft fit for escort duties would be a good suggestion as well.

I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my message and hope that it made sense and was not too confusing, and thanks also for commenting and replying to it. Keep flying high my fellow members and may you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Sincerely,

New AOD member,
