Also, for this scenario to happen, we need CO's. If you would like to volunteer or know of someone who would be good in the role, please read the "CO's needed" topic.

Radar ranges and sector counter ranges can now both be tower based and set to differing ranges and minimum thresholds...............

This way you could simulate chain high and chain low radar.

chain high could be less accurate sector counters at a longer range and higher floor threshold

chain low could be shorter more accurate dot radar for final vectoring.....

Re altitudes.................

The game play and objectives was such that any LW bomber force spending time climbing to ALWAYS achieve altitude superiority will not have sufficient mission time for two missions per frame.............. and to achieve victory conditions with one bombing mission per frame was very difficult.

Constantly patroling RAF squadrons had fuel problems.............. and so were often climbing to meet the opposition even later in the frame.

Please rethink the rescue verrification, last time 2 cms werent sufficiant to witness the rescuing without a verry frustrating long waiting time on the ground.
Can you have 1 or 2 more "rescue verrification officers" ?

Completely agree with this. All of my pilots who used the rescue rules, as well as others I heard on range channel, were made to wait quite a long time before the rescue CM could come and verify.

The only smooth rescue I recall is when I called the CM before I landed a C47 to pick someone up. The CM got there just as I was pulling up to the guy.

I don't blame the CMs at all, they had a lot of requests to go verify. They just needed a few other CMs to help them.

The way to speed it up would be to allow bailed pilots over friendly land territory to just land and be safe. After all, the militaries of each side were not wasting their limited SAR on pilots landing on golf courses.

IIRC part of the reason for using only 2 CMs was to imitate the amount of time an actual rescue and return to flight status would take. The designers didn't want MA a style reups. The draw back was the PT boat rescues. It took to long to get to the downed pilot and return him to a friendly base. This was fixed in frame 2 by eliminating the return to a friendly base

Hard decision which side to fly for though..

You do remember correctly............ a natural delay which was longer should there be more demand also provided a disinsentive to folk bailing at the first opportunity.............
