Don't get me wrong, war is war, & no quarter should be asked or given, but I think we need to find ways to discourage players from hovering over bases loking for the easy kills. More flak needed at bases? A proximity timer script increasing the chances of some aircraft system failure if over a base too long?
To be honest, I would really advise using the rear bases. I take off from Gravesend and/or Maidstone once in about every three sorties. You never have to contend with pesky 109s above.

In fact, even Manston is "hot" only about 30% of the time in my experience. In fact, last night there were 60+ on the server, and I used up ~30% fuel (what's that 25 minutes?), in a 5,000ft circuit above Manston/Ramsgate and only 1 single german turned up the whole time - and that was a twin engine, not even a 109.
