What do you think would have happened if the Germans had stayed with

That might have ironically boosted the fighter pilots in 12 group's
morale. They disliked being the baby sitters for the 11 group's fields
and wanted to get into the action. Bringing more German bombers in to
attack the airfields would have provided them targets and disabused
their concept of who was getting a free ride.
