26/4 - Independence Day - Israel
« on: April 09, 2004, 08:23:52 AM »
At 26th this month Israel celebrates its 56th Independence Day.

I would like to ask the CT community and the CMs team to set up 1948 Independence War at Combat Theatre at this week.

The 101 "Red" Squ. Israel will be very glad to play these days its historical role.

Thanks,

Setup
It had allready been set but I would like to add some changes to make it more interesting and fix previous mistakes.

Israel Air Force:
[list=1]
  • S-199 Avia (Bf109G6)
  • Spitfire Mk IX
  • Mossqiuto VI
  • P-51D (limited)
  • B-17G (limited)
  • Ms, Panzer
  • C-47


Royal Egyptian Air Force:
[list=1]
  • Spitfire Mk V
  • C-205
  • Harvard Mk II (SBD)
  • A20 (subsit for C47 bomber)
  • Spitfire Mk XIV - RAF - limited (Britan Forces Were based in Egypt and had several interceptions with IAF)
  • Ms, Panzer
  • C-47


Settings:
  • ACKs hardness 50kg - to prevent easy land grabbing
  • 15 troops required to capture base - to prevent easy land grabbing
  • Limiting of planes was done on bases - I think it would be better to give high perks Spit 14 - 20 perks and P-51D - 15


The rest same

The AVIA S-199 "Mule" wasn't called that by Israeli pilots for nothing. IMO the ME-109E would be more appropriate that the 109G model for this aircraft.

You people need to work on the numbers for this set up to fun. The 19 vs 2 land grab all week is crap.

First The reason 109G6 subsits Avia is that 109E or 109F can easily dogfight Spitfire Mk IX (S199) couldn't. Actually Avia S-199 had 109g14 fuselage and another engine. So 109g6 subsits it quite well even 109g6 better then Avia.
Secondly 109g6 very close to C205 so the setup become more ballanced.
Third - 109G6 is allready reskinned as S-199 ;)

That is why I asked to incease the hardness of ACKs and the number of troops required for capture.
Numbers - I think if RAF Spit 14 will have perk cost it will make it more avialable for people - and if they do not what to "fly like an Egyptian" they will as British.

BTW there were couple of "accindents" when RAF Spitfires were shut down by Israeli Spitfires.

One more idea to bring better numbers for REAF/RAF side vs IAF.

RAF had used not only Spitfires but Tempests also (couple of these were shot down by IAF Spits too :D )

So if we will add perked Tempest (20-25 perks) for RAF it will give higher numbers for REAF/RAF side.

I think fighting RAF vs IAF will be quite fun (of course it should be limited with perks).

So......... what do you think CMs?

That set up was real good.  IIRC the egyptians had a hard time chasing ppl down because everyone was running from the spitV's.  the G6 was very effective,  I think that was the only complaint I heard.  The fights with the spit 14 were pretty good also.

There is the list (not completed) of the 101 squadron people - pilots and ground crew who were involved in Independence War.

This list is not full and probably some forgein volonteers missed. But it could be interesting as hole page of .101 Red Squadron
