Sorry, you're wrong. The point value of 20 fighter squadrons is less 20
x the
point value of 1 fighter squadron. The effectiveness of 20 squadrons is
greater than 20 x the effectiveness of 1 squadron. This has been shown
several
times on the list. The simple statement that "fighter strength scales
non-linearly" is true.
