OK Folks how bout we start this tonite...Friday.

I'll be there at 5PM Eastern....the DA.   I'll be in most of the night.

5PM Eastern is early for some,but at least that is a decent hour for some of the European Players.  I plan on staying in the DA for the evening.  So that means that' I'll prolly be in and out from 5PM EST to 12A or there abouts.

If we keep a presence there we should be able to increase the amount of participation.  I would like this to be a regular habit for a lot of the AH Community.

Aircraft...I propose a list  but I prefer aircraft that were intro'd no later then 1943.

So...here's a feeble list of craft   this can be debated of course .

109E and F
SpitI and SpitV
P38G
P47D11
P51B
La5
F4F
F4U1
F4UD
Hurricanes
F6F
FM2
etc.

I think it would be feasible to omit the UBER cannon planes for the sake of competition.  But again that could be up for debate.

Any and all suggestions would be welcome.

If enough show up we could have two teams evenly matched in a whirling, swirling mutiplane encounter.

Hurricane , Spits, and F4u's. I'll be there tonight. Not exactly at 5, but if you're going to be around most of the night Hajo, I'll be there.

Hajo, id say we keep the planes choice gentlemans rule. After all, we hope to get the "fighters" in there that fly for the FIGHT and not for the kill. I do not expect any of those to decide on an LA7 to go and BnZ the low furball......

IMHO its about having fun and fighting and not about flying (or not flying) certain planes - or did i misunderstand your intent?


(As long as the SMk1 and the HMk1 are on the list, ill be a happy camper any ways :))

Nightshift in actuality the D11 is more maneuverable then the D25.

D11 one of my favorite rides.  But I'm trying a change in pace for rides I'm going to "TRY" and fly the 38G.

So...we're trying to keep the planeset almost equal.  1943 and before.

This is a great learning experience also.  10K will be the maximum alt!

Will help us all learn a few things.  ACM and SA.

Zeros will be fine....and others I've forgotten to list.  P40s also! 110C should be included also.  But again we want to keep balance so we'll see how it goes.  There will be no 190s'.  Since the Spit9 is out so are the FW's. I don't think A5s were out until the earliest late 43.  But no matter since the SpitIX is not inclluded neither are the FWs'.

No P51D's, no Chogs, no La7s, No N1Ks even though the CHog was available at that time it is a perk ride and will be treated as such in this venue.  No Ki84s  methinks the Ki61 would be ok but I will check on its intro into the war.  I think it was available during 1943 but am not certain. Corky would know off the top of his head but I don't.  I'd have to crack open literature I have to be sure.

There will be no insults, no whining, just good natured no holds barred fighting.

Those that violate those rules of engagement will have to clean Skuzzys Office for a month.  If you collect aluminum that might be a monitarily rewarding job. :aok

Corky...if you're going to be there I'd like to hookup with you in a 38G to 38G encounter...and if so would you please film?  I'm not very good in the 38 yet and could use the help.  Thanks

BTW we should all meet in the tower to discuss any rules of engagement.

I think these are a start for the rules.

1.)  10K max alt.  This will limit the bore and Zoom.  Still can be done but only within the alt limit.
2.)  Since we will be split up into hopefully two sides I propose once two opponents merge the fight is on.  They will stay engaged until one or the other is down and the victor will be able to freelance and help his side.  this will probably be difficult to determine but hopefully this will be a Ladies and Gentlemens agreement.
3.) Once you are down you must wait in the tower until 3 of you can up at the sametime.  Whether you land or crash or are shot down.  This will I hope prevent a stream of players upping from a base perpetualy.  Also a Ladies and gentlemens agreement.

Any other thoughts on this would be more then welcome to improve gameplay and the enjoyment of avoiding a reupping horde.

Of course rules can be changed or added, and as I said ideas are most welcome.

5PM Hajo time = 11PM CET? (I'm not good at conversion unless i write a script to do it for me :p)

If I'm more or less correct, I'll be in this evening.

I would perhaps add the earliest 110 to your list (Asked to fly an emil in Bob, but have no garantee... so I might have to deck some training time in that one too).

1942 was when it was introduced.   Hajo, I may pop in here.   Excellent Idea.

Great Idea, move this to the MA, work out logistics so that when potatod shows up you can easily get the word out to the three countries where the furball is moving to and you will have a hit every night no matter who is on.

Is there a common radio channel that crosses country lines other than Chan200.  If so, make that the furball channel.

If you log in to MA and want to furb, dial up Furb channel and get the coordinates.

I would be all over that.  It's time we take a piece of the MA and make it our own and keep moving it around when the spoilers show up.
