DSII: DFO attacks?

I was playing DSII earlier this evening using aerospace fighter support for
the first time when I came across something I don't follow.

When making a DFO (deadfall ordnance) attack, each load draws two chits. P.41
continues to say that if, for example, two loads are dropped, "each element in
the Zone draws a total of Four chits."

I am correct in reading this as four chits added together? The artillery rules
expressly state that multiple draws are *not* added together (e.g., three
medium guns hitting a zone would draw three sets of two chits, not six chits
on each target). The DFO rules do not say this.

Assuming ground-attack fighters drop two or three loads, that is four
to six chits on each target. That's a whole lotta hurt.

Time to invest in some ADS tanks...

Yes indeed, those ground-attack bombing runs can be devastating!

Excatly!  Even the presence of ADS tanks will protect your forces -- the
ground-attack fighters are VERY expensive, and the guy fielding them
will NOT want to take a chance on losing them.

The other solution is to stay as dispersed as you can to minimize the effects
of the bombing runs.
