***Alert- Bomb Wing Mission***
« on: December 07, 2006, 06:41:24 AM »
For those involved in Bomb Wing - (see other thread for info)

    Friday, December 8th at 9pm et will be the first mission. Im sorry if its too late for some,but since this is an FSO off week it should be a good slot to do it. We will wait in the LOBBY for 15 minutes for late-comers.

    Plan-   Everyone involved, from bomber pilot, to escort pilot, meet in the LOBBY at 9pm et. Thats east coast USA time. From there, we will take a head count and see which late war arena can support all of us as a group. If neither late war arena can support us, we will take it to the Mid War arena. ( We will tell players in the Late Wars if we are going there to provide a fight).

    Once we are ready in the LOBBY, we will goto the chosen arena and be BISHOP. Once there we will tune to vox channel 166, and meet at a rear base to conduct a pre-flight briefing, select a target, and start base.

     I'd like to be rolling by 9:30 pm et. There will most likely be a mission called Bomb Wing posted.

  See ya Friday night!

Ready to rock!
Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

Alot depends on if we can all get in one of the late war arenas. If not we'll go to mid war. We dont plan on being 30k, and if the opposition is cool about not bringing 50 262s, we will stay that way. If not we'll end up going higher next time. It may take a few tries to get it right. Usually does with something like this.

I'm in..but be forewarned.

70 people will show up in the lobby, get the briefing and then a third of them will turn tail and join the defending force just to have something juicy to attack.  I would fully expect many 262's and other cannon-armed vermin patrolling the sky high above the intended target.

I'm not worried about that possibility myself...just makes it more fun.
Besides, I'd prefer to fight my way to target anyway...but we will be well served if we can recruit some dedicated gunners to help out.  Don't wanna get jumped when I'm in the peeper gettin' ready to unleash iron carnage.

Probably see a 262 or arrado as a "trailer"... but p47N's and Ta-152's would be plenty to deal with.......

You are right Delta, but its about the only way we can do it with the arena structure. Im sure some guys will be there, but we wont discuss anything vital until we goto the chosen arena, and become bish. After that point if some still switch after a briefing, which some are bound to do, like you said...it will still be fun.

   Im sure it will take a couple of these missions to get a feel for what we can expect. If we face all 262s, then next time we'll goto 30k and make them work for it.

   Usually most folks enjoy the bomb runs, on both sides, and try to keep it balanced. After all they are alot of fun to intercept and if you frustrate the effort too much, they wont happen very often, or very openly.

heck...why not just call it out over chan 200?  Folks are going to know anyway so why not just get more participation and make it that much better?

Do you want it to be a milk run?

as long as they see it, a few might get in 262s

i know we had 6x262s in the air against a bish raid against our HQ once.... didnt really help but i killed 9 before i lost my tail. (i got pinged as a exited the rear of formation.)

Well I think anyone that takes the time to read an open forum knows the date and time. I like announcing the wheres and such in the AvA where a few of us in the past have alerted both sides, the location alt etc. But we are talking about the MA. Its a different breed of cat. I think they have all they need to know. Maybe we'll take 262s as escort :P
