Missions would you participate more if:

[mussie]

The Missions I flew with JG44 ( Nighthawks) were great...

But since flying solo I have only ever enjoyed missions created by Ghi..

The reason is very simple.. I know when I sign up with a Ghi organised mission, its not going to be a waste of time...

In the few missions of Ghi's that i have flow in he takes control, not to be an arm chair general, but to make sure that the job gets done...

So Ghi thanks for the fun....


EDIT: On a side note, do you all remeber that mass mission by the Nits and (I think the rooks) to take back FT... Man a 20K+ climb followed by absolute carnage, but again we got the job done...

Amen to that.

Rooks to some extent are the NEW Bish.  Mission for this mission for that... Jesus... is there no common sense any more.  Don't get me wrong a well planed mission is a good thing but not every bloody thing needs a darn mission.  Many times opportunities are missed because folks are waiting 10 to 15 minutes for "the mission" to roll.  Windows of opportunity pissed away then folks are surprised when it stalls against a wall of cons  Or one side of the map is being rolled yet 20+ guys on the other side of the map are attacking a poxy "V" base that has no strategic value.

There are mission planners and there are mission spanners (spanner is Brit version to American wrench...and a wrench is a .....well if you can't work that out you prolly are a "spanner").  A planner gets it right as far as method, implementation and timing.  However, even a good planner picks the wrong objective from time to time.  A "spanner" does everything that's already been covered by wide wing.  

There really is only one thing positive about missions and that's peoples enthusiasm.  There in it to win it.  That's great but on the down side there is an overwhelming lack of ability.... on all sides.  I site the obvious examples.  If these guys can't even hit the VH how on earth are they going to dive bomb a moving, firing flak panzer headed to town.  Why join a high alt bomber mission if you can't even calibrate.   Yer, enthusiasm is great but so is ability.  Unfortunately the "assorted" unable are often the repetitive mission joiners.

Give me a bloody good roll any day.

Thndregg ran a few missions last night that were well supported.  P38J bomber mission.  Pink spit 1 fighter sweep and  109E fighter sweep.  They were all well attended, with the 109E sweep doing much better than we all expected.  The Spit 1 mission had the desired effect of causing the enemy to laugh themselves into the ground.  

Was fun egg...  Thanks.  

It goes to show that it is not always the plane in the mission, or the objective of the mission, but who starts it and who wants to have fun that counts.


p.s.  BKs also sneaked a V base deep in enemy territory... then hell froze over.  (Jaxxo good to see you back.)

Amazing what boredom will do to ya, lol.  We tried to sneak it with a 110 and a goon but then Jaxxoff logged in half way through and decided to follow us.  I think he thinks NOE is at 3K and he almost ruined our 30 seconds of preparation for that mission

Funny how 2 guys can take a VH so easily.  Also, was fun to see all the dots around HQ    I guess they thought it was an HQ raid

Rumor has it that jeeps were being driven to hq in a deliberate attempt to occupy the enemy there.

As a Precision member and Knight to boot, I feel that there is more need for missions in our country.  I will freely admit that the knights have a hard time at getting their watermelon in a group to effectively win a map.  Getting the missions together with the team oriented players is a challenge.  Those Knights looking for a mission, and you are serious about taking bases and not about your freakin score, join some of the Precision missions.  You might like it.

to you, sir, thank you very much for your kind words.

[what'shisname?]

None of the above.

The guy sure sounded like he knew what he was doing.  We got to target area, a gy wants me to drop my bomb load to go fight fighters.  Instant suicide for me in a hellcat.  I went into target with bombs, rockets, and .50's and town ws down ready for troops.  But not well planned and no air cap.  I hightailed it out of area by flanking the area to a safe base.

LEADERSHIP is the only thing that matters to me doing a mission or a squad.    Most guys do not know the meaning of the word.  There are a lot of armchair generals to MA.
