All's good.........

Agreed there was plenty of action all the way around. Personally for my taste I would rather have more of an objective than along the lines of this particular setup, but thats just me. I get alot of action within the MA, so more of an immersion is a welcome break to that which I get within the 24/7 community MA style.

Not against this FSO or anything, but just seemed more like changing arenas with the somewhat same action. The last AH scenerio, waiting for buffs to enter into the fatherland may have had some being bored, but the immersion made the world of difference for me and I can't remember a more enjoyable scenerio in the past. Speaking for me, this is the type that I look forward to the most and get the most enjoyment out of. So pardon some of my posts and replies, as I tend to come from that type of perspective with them.

Will go along with what ever the setup style is, as all individuals like different things. And as always, I do appreciate those that put in all the effort to keep this event going.

Give me some time to hammer out how an objective based format with GV's will work and it will happen. There were some mechanical challenges that I couldn't work out...for this event. In the future--skies the limit.

Regardless, I appreciate your input...

My .02...

I would like a pure gv fight. No attack planes. A town, small group of buildings or even just a Windmill would be an objective for 2 sides to fight over. A CM using godmode would determine which side had control of the objective or if it was still contested at a specific time. It could be a Attack/Defend scenario or place the objective between the 2 forces and have a meeting engagement.

Place one or more of these 'gv fights' on the map. Aircraft would have seperate objectives (e.g. hit train at A46) like a usual FSO. Maybe the results of the Aircraft objectives would effect the gv fight in some way. Kill train or other side gets 2 tigers next round.. you get the idea.

An "All GV event" may happen someday, but I fear a lot of FSO pilots, would not show for that.

Kaz,

Speaking from a CM level and from someone who has great respect for you and the AK's, thank you for your input, but more-so the way you deliver it with respect and honesty. I am passionate about this event, as are many MANY other players and CMs. As the event grows to levels not previously seen, the event has seen its fair share of growing pains. These types of discussions are healthy, warranted and great for the community of FSO players and Designers alike. Thank you for your honest input and the respectful manner you deliver it.

~~Sir.~~

I was unclear. I don't mean a 'GV only' FSO. Take a normal FSO with bombers, attack planes and fighters. Then ADD a GV only area somewhere on the map.

Only a few squads on each side would participate. Squads could sign up for tanks like they sign up for rides now.

again just my .02

Maybe actually incorporate base captures into the FSO frames? If one side succeeds in capturing the base it's so many points towards the final score?

Say, for Okinawa we could have had the F4U-1Ds providing CAS and F6Fs as escort while LVTs, or in the later frames Shermans and M-3s pushed through to capture the airfields. M8s would sub for Japanese tanks (ok, so US vs. Japanese tanks would be greatly unbalanced in favor of the Americans, but it's just an example of what coulda been. Maybe restricting the number of Shermans and relying more on support vehicles like the M-16 would help).

I really don't think a base capture type FSO would be the best. I get enough land grabbing in the MA.

It might be interesting to see how it would work with the finite resources of FSO. While there's something of a method to the madness in the Mains, a lot of it boils down to who can keep a constant flow of fresh blood into the fight. However when you only have a set number of lives and attempts to make it happen, there would be a LOT more strategy involved.

And of course, the objectives for the next frame can be determined by whether or not the target was successfully captured or defended.

Either way it goes, with or without objectives I just hope we see more GV's in FSO, I had some of the most fun in lastnight GV battle then I've had in awhile in FSO.
