The B damage deck has 44 cards of which the special damage is :-
2 x smoke, 2 x fire, 1 x engine, 1 x explosion, 3 x red jam, 3 x green jam, 2 x left rudder, 2 x right rudder and 2 x crew hit.
What happend in the game was that the 'B' firing Sopwith triplanes were able to inflict 2 fires on the Albatross DVa where the 'A' firing DVa could only ever set 1 fire unless/until the card is shuffled back in the pack.
Obviously the 'B' gun does less damage on average so is the addtional fire to make up for this ?
Also as there are more jam cards in the 'B' deck this means the gun could jam more than an 'A' gun.
I was using a 2 on 1 scenario but it would still apply in other encounters.
Are there any reasons?
