Author Topic: Setup for 11/19/04 (Read 2036 times)

Yep...it's BoB time again:)

Been awhile since we last ran the setup, so here's the lineup.

England

Hurri-I
Spit-I
C-47

Germany

Bf-109E-4
Bf-110C-4b
Ju-88A-4 (formation disabled)
Stuka
C-47

Wanting to try something out here also....I'm going to set field capture at 30 troops, and downtime will be 10 mins. This setup is the defense of England, so as can be seen, there are no attack/bomber aircraft for the Allies. But on the flip side, if the Axis want to take a field, they are going to have to coordinate, and work hard for it.

GV's are also being left out, as this was purely an aerial battle.

As a headsup for all, setup will change at 0100ish Friday morning.

Have fun and enjoy!

you're asking for trouble with the c47's enabled. that 30 troop capture is a double-edged sword.

especially w/o any brit bombs available, or gv's... just how are the brits to re-take any bases that will surely be milked by, even if they have to coordinate it at 4:35am PST.

The man has a point. Specially since the Hurri I and Spit I cant carry bombs and have no cannon even, making ack gunning a little hairy. You could enable Bostons or A-20s from some of the rear bases only. Just a suggestion.

or just disable base capture all together...

can't remember any bases being captured in England during the real BOB...

A pertinent observation.

One way or the other, though...

It's Battle of Britain Time! Hooray!

Agreed. This is one of the few setups where I dont care which side I fly on lol.

Ch 200 is optional.

Yeah but if you choose to not tune in 200 you may still recieve 'personal' messages.

Arlo · « **Reply #9 on:** November 18, 2004, 03:09:05 PM »

Yeah. I think HT should coad a squelch feature or sumpin.

i almost never type on private, but yesterday i wanted to let you know exactly how weak your flying is. i think urchin pegged you and jg54 spot on.

Easy solution, give the Brits the SBD in place of the Skua for a bomber, and give them the M3 for troops instead of the C47. Both the A-20 and Boston are waaaaaaay too fast for a '40 BoB set.

and the ju-88a-4 isn't?

i'd like for once to see the ju88's left out, as it might allow the ju-87 to get a little more bidness, along with the 110's, since the BoB was basically a tactical engagement initially.
