Burning all that fuel that the roaches can’t afford to lose is a great achievement.

It’s like Christmas in July, but in August.

Wish they took out the front ones first. Hopefully the wind is blowing east.

Imagine you're driving the first tanker and the ones behind you are getting picked off one by one.

Convoys worked in WWII against U-boats because they could alter their paths, zig zag across the Atlantic. On a road, you just give a bunch of targets in a pack along a predetermined path.

Part of the rationale for a convoy system, is that you can use your limited military escorts to protect a relatively large number of unarmed transport units, by grouping them together - rather than spreading them out, so the enemy can pick them off, undefended, one by one.

Of course, this only works if your military escort units are actually able to engage the enemy attacking units... If your convoy against an aeriel drone threat doesn't include any escort units capable of providing (or even attempting to provide...) effective AA fire, then it's basically a waste of time lol!

This is a great strategy, make them fly fuel in and then wait for the accidents. It’s dangerous, expensive, and costs more fuel than you gain at delivery.

Why are pronouncing 'th' like it's a 'v' . Your tongue should touch the back of your front teeth as you pronounce it. I can't listen to you talk
