 This game mode is faster than TBD because there is no waiting for a bomb to spawn.  This keeps the pressure up at a level significantly higher.  Infiltrating players are not marked (like in BALL or TBD), and so can come from anywhere.
+In TBD, the width of a map is a critical design point because it specifies how
+far a plane, weighed down with a bomb, must travel to reach the goal.  This
+slows the play of the game and requires coordination.  This coordination makes
+for great games clan vs. clan, where the players are working together.  But,
+it can be frustrating in pub servers where players either don't know how to
+work together, or simply just refuse.  Because of this combination of push
+and defense, TBD is best played 7v7, and suffers below 6v6.  FLAG, on the
+other hand, is best played at 5v5, with 4v4 and 6v6 also working quite well.
+FLAG also works better on a smaller map than TBD.
+An example map shows the importance of width over height in a FLAG type game.
+Also, notice the turrets, which should be capable of halving the health of
+a Biplane before they get to the flag for at least half the routes to the flag.
