Just need to hear one of the CMs officially rule on whether drones count in the split or not, as that's what seems to be causing the "finger pointing."

Bad Company Clan was ordered to split,half in bombers half in fighters.I complied and split it acording to the numbers that we had that night.
I had several players out due to the new patch and had 1 who was at his daughters wedding,and I'll bet he was crying as much as some of the players were that night.

Can someone enlighten me...?
What are the rules concerning splitting?

Since the LCA is getting bigger and bigger, I'm
sure that I will need to know that rule in the
future.

Thanks,

David "96Delta"

Frame C.O.’s may spilt larger squads (11-15 or larger) as deemed necessary. Larger squads must aim for a 50/50 spilt or as close as possible when using 2 aircraft. Larger squads may only fly 2 different aircraft.

looks to me like if you make a legitimate effort to have a 50/50 split (counting or not counting drones - personally, I count them) you will be OK. Again, that is not official, just my best interpretation. Hopes that will suffice until someone with more authority is able to answer you.

As close as possible to 50/50. BTW it is pilots not drones

You know I see a hole in this. I appreciate what you're trying to achieve but I am left a little uncertain as to how this is going to pan out.

For instance a familiar set of instructions like this:

"Take no more than X Tiger Moths and fly to target".

This scenario had instructions of just this type in respect of Spit 9's and 190's. A couple of smaller squads want to fly the restricted types. The CO obliges as he should and assigns them. A couple extra dudes show up and you are immediately required to chop a small squad into 2 rides and certainly not half and half.

Already we have hairs being split, expect more.

Perhaps the CM group might take a further look at the actual problem they are trying to solve and see if they come with a more roundish peg to put into this round hole? CO's got enough work to get plans out on time now. Solving a problem by creating a new one doesn't seem healthy to me.
