Makes for some interesting comments too.... <no no must be good>
Its also why when fighters are about you'll see Phalon capitals down
here
flying in fairly tight formation with a DD behind or on the side facing
back the other way, so that those embarrassing gaps in the arcs of
protection are covered.
It gets hairer in Phalon vs Phalon where being in tight formation can
have
its down-sides too.
It can definitely make for some quite interesting changes in fighter
movement too - from "straight in" to "lets wander over here far enough
that
we may possible find an exposed rear", oops aft ..... I was trying to be
good wasn't I?
Cheers
Beth
