Hey, wait a minute...
« on: May 15, 2004, 12:03:41 AM »
The rules of engagement say that there are supposed to be a MINIMUM of 24 PLAYERS flying B-17s in each frame.  According to the quick logs, there were only a total of 27 B-17 sorties, meaning only NINE players were in B-17s.

Don't come back with that stuff about not enough players showing up, the allies outnumbered the axis.  There were enough players to put 48 in P-38s, I notice.

That issue sure changed the dynamics of the fight.  It was supposed to be lw vs. buffs with P-38 escort, not fighter sweep vs. fighter sweep with B-17s as bait.

Just my two cents worth.

Shubie, I took a look at the CM logs. 26 pilots took off in B17s.

They launched enough. And out of the 78 B17s in the air the Axis shot down 31. Allies fragged another 4.
