Quite true .....

And some times the CM was called to a bailed pilot when the rescuer was not even there yet! so while the CM waited so did everyone else.

Its not perfect......... a rescue option would be nice for such scenarios but it does not exist. The second incarnation which just required the rescuer to reach the bailed pilot and get a CM to witness it worked better than the original where the plane/vehicle/boat had to rtb with a "joined" pilot.

However the CM delay was appropriate to the game play and it eliminated the benefits of any abuse.

Posted on TFC Squadron Forum about registering most of the Squad.

However....most of us feel that an alt cap would be a good idea.

Don't know if I would want to play with an unrestricted cap. Don't think LW fighters had the fuel to climb to 30K, engage and rtb. And also don't think the RAF would have the time to climb to that alt to intercept.

Just a thought.

Well except for scouts I don't think the RAF can scramble until they get dar contacts.

My only problem with this is the dar has a 50 mile range -- which means the second any 109E takes off across the channel they'll be spotted and the RAF can scramble. That's kinda counter-productive to a big escorted bobmer raid, if the enemy takes off the same time you do.

Reality isn't fair.

well then you as the axis CO order them to roll outside of radar range. oops, i didnt just say that!

Problem is that (for first frame) 90% of my 109E fields are in the same spot. Can't move any til in between frames.

EDIT: Don't worry about me, though, hehehehe, worry about the RAF. I've got plans inside plans!

Well, the 303rd has 3 pilots in Emils...

Krusty · « **Reply #98 on:** August 29, 2006, 04:38:03 PM »

Cool. Be sure to let me know which guys are in your squad. I don't think you'd specified one when you registered (you have to go into your profile and set it). If you let me know I can try to keep you grouped.

And for the RAF-minded amongst us...

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! British PM wears Depends(TM)!

Folks, remember that this one -- with exactly the same rules -- ran before. The large majority of people liked it (although you can't please everyone with every detail), and the outcome came down to the last bomb run of the last bomber of the last mission of the last frame.

Ya mean just before you collide with his wreck ?

or just before augering ?

Krusty · « **Reply #103 on:** August 30, 2006, 08:33:58 AM »

Doesn't matter, as long as he kills furball before he goes!

Saintaw · « **Reply #104 on:** August 30, 2006, 10:44:53 AM »

Straffo, get it right!

I will aim at him, miss him with the bullets but will succeed in colliding with him right before i auger while singing my version of "cucaracha" to you on vox.
