Missions are like foreplay; boring and does nothing for me.

Frankly, nothing I enjoy more than joining a mission group that has been steamrolling bases and flattening them before capture to slow their advance.

Tempers go even faster than the La7s.  :)

im with fugitive on the historical mission - seeing 110s, 51Ds and Spits in one mission just doesnt feel right to me. Mossie/Spit, 110/109, A20/P47 etc is more of a challenge to get right, and just looks better in the film viewer later :)

havent tried this one yet - keep an eye out this weekend ;)

NOE: 4x B25H, 2xC47, 4xP47 (light)
15K: 3xP51D (2000lb)

Stagger takeoffs (depends on distance). Ponies grab to 10k+ then dive to kill VH and radar, grab alt again for high cap. Jugs and 25s pop as soon as dar is down, deack town, jugs low cap and 25s take town down. goons in, base taken.

timing is critical for all missions, more if further away. town must go down asap, goons should arrive as the last building goes down.

20 is too many imo, unless your going to announce it on 200 or there will already be defenders up. its no fun if theres no chance of failure ;)

Regarding 110s Im still not sure which is best. To stay low and starfe the town on the first pass, and then drop ords on guns. Or to pop before the town, climb a couple 1,000, drop guns and then strafe the town down.

                  Whats the opinions on which is best?

Guns kill... Buildings don't (well not always)

First pass should be on guns.

People do it different. Some have their 110's pop and grab 2K alt, others have the 110's do a low alt pass on ack, then immelman over and drop ord. I prefer a low pass on town with guns, then the immelman, if you pop then the enemy has lots of time to react (seeing as it will take a bit longer once you pop because you lost valuable "E".

I never put bombs on my 110 missions. Heavy guns have proven to be sufficient.

Im starting to lean towards taking guns out first. As long, that is, as you have fighters along and they are far enough ahead to keep the airbase capped when you pop the 110s.

                             Last night we had some 110 sticks that really knew what they were doing. One pass downed the guns and then short work was done on the towns. One mission we had like 30+ guys in it. Best of all we had no infernal babbling on the comms and instead everyone acted professional.

                           Very difficult to stop a crew like that going on a rampage.

:lol

I'm sure this "rampage" of 110 sticks that "really knew what they were doing" was all NOE hordes aimed at bases where the enemy wasn't.  Good job though.  Need Ack-Ack to post that rainbow award picture for you all...

On missions that purely knock the town down first. I always have the goons launch early. When the mission rolls, we catch up with the goons, pace the goons, and throttle up once we get close. We do our bit on town, hang a loose cap between town & base (or we move on deacking/capping base, situation depending).

To me, holding a cap/supressing enemy cons is more important than the question, "Is the town down?" It doesn't do a lot of good to know if town is down as long as you still have enemy cons hunting the goons trying to get in.

                     Naw it aint going to turn ugly. There are just a lot of youngsters in computer gaming who haven't been around long enough to have been socialized properly.

                    The rest of us can probably work around them and keep up a gentlemanly conversation.

right on the mark r46yo

I have helped take a base with just a few 110s and a goon, with a couple of fighters to cap.  You have to get a bit lucky, and hope that there are few that up to defend, or that the ones that do are too stupid to realize that a goon is on the way to the town while they chase 110s away from the town!

Better yet is when one of the more lively 200 channel characters mocks you after his LA kills your 51B - after you have intentionally put him on your six and ran him 10+ miles away from town while your goon drops troops. Made me giggle lol
