1/3 rule
What is the justification for the 1/3 rule ? Why would I want 2/3 of my planes to stay at the base ? Why not 1/4 ? or 1/2 ?
Thx

The 1/3 rule is generally used for support aircraft like tankers and AWACS [or at least, I use it that way], and it means that 1/3 of planes will be on the ground, 1/3 transiting to or from the mission location, and 1/3 on station. Themjustification for using it in this way is;
A. It makes sense efficiency wise.
B. Many scenarios have groups of 9 tankers and 3 AWACS for example, because those are real squadron setups.
