Yeah totally. Not jumping at all wouldn’t have achieved anything.
There were a series of mistakes, like all major losses involve. Not having move ops finished. Not staging in their Fortizar progressively in the days prior. Jumping straight into fighter bombers.
Then, jumping into a system that was already at 5000 people. It seems a number of the older heads successfully used the logout/login trick to get themself back out before they even got in, which would have also added to server load.
Lot’s of things could have been different and I’m sure if this could be done over, PAPI would approach it differently.
