Hehe Stampf. 

There's going to be squadron identification so when you see those Checkered nose P47s, watch yourself. Overall it's going to be a fun time and i hope everyone enjoys and films!

Will the LCA be announcing on 200 a target?  Or at least the country you'll be targeting so people who would like to make it interesting for you can actually find you guys?

Psssst....Look at the little red bars on top of the sectors slick. Or do you need a road map?

Yaknow they have actually trained chimpanzees to talk with sign language.

[Guppy35]

might be a reasonable expectation to know which front so folks can provide that Luftwaffe opposition you are wanting.   I'll take a 109 just to help the immersion

It doesn't help if I don't even know what country to join, seeing how I'll have to stay with whichever I choose for an hour.  If I choose the wrong one you get no opposition.

But thanks for calling me a monkey and acting like a love muffin while you did it.  That was helpful of you.   

-edit-
thanks cork for keeping it civil in your response.  maybe someone will see we just want a fight.  not a game of whack a mole

I didn't call you a monkey. I just inferred a monkey could figure out where a bomber formation would be going. Its among the easiest things to figure out in the game. BTW a chimp is an "ape" not a "monkey". Monkeys have tails and aint as bright.

We'll see if your bright enough to maybe figure out why I have no love for you this morning. Or maybe your on the bong to much. Tho even back in the '70s I could figure out where a bomber formation was going. Could you imagine naming the target and having 200 cons at 30,000' diving in at you before your even halfway there?

An announcement on 200 would be great...being tragic Tuesday there will be big darbars everywhere. I don't know about the other Jokers yet, but I will switch to knits if need be to confront this horde. 

[Rich46yo]

I always thought it was part of the fun. Watching the map, sending out scouts...reporting...organizi ng...coming up with the target. The last Knit one was a huge hit and we were never told.

I hope we run more and more of these. They are a lot of fun.

[Twizzty]

I do understand and enjoy that part of the game Rich, it's just the last few Tuesdays I've been chasing Ghosts it seems. I don't get to play much lately and really enjoy these big missions. Will be there in a 109.

Believe it was a gorilla .

Thanks for the comments & questions guys.

This has the potential to get big and if it
does I'm sure it will be no trouble to find us.

In addition, people with multiple accounts will,
without a doubt, be infiltrated within our
ranks.  I'm sure they will be sharing our
intentions with whatever country (or countries )
we will be visiting.

Nevertheless, for those who aren't privy
to the intel that will be floating
around, I will likely be posting on 200 what
country we will be attacking several
mins before we drop...unless we are
already getting mauled. 

As I invision what this might look like I
really wish that Hitech had modeled contrails
for the bombers.  That would be some fine
eye candy to gaze upon and would make finding
large bomber formations easy.

Oh well, I can dream, can't I?

Thing is Tizzty the bombers wont even make it to target. There will be more interceptors then escorts and they will be co-alt, or even more likely, have alt on the bomber formation. There may even be more interceptors then escorts, AND, bombers.

You already know "when" the game begins and nobody else at that time is going to be upping a huge mission from a rear Rook base, and, spending all that time climbing like a bomber does. Its easy to tell a big bomber formation just by the way the dar bars cross over from one sector to another. Big fighter sweeps do it much faster cause they are running tighter and much faster.

And then...there are the guys changing countries.   But we cant talk about that. Anyway, I aint running the thing. These are just my thoughts.

Praying for an attack to the Knights front...   Will marshall the Pigs if that is the case and bring on the TA152's for the immersion factor.  Sounds fun no matter how it comes out!

First off I'll respond on topic.

Titanic Tuesday is buggy.  It shows full dar bars where no one is flying.  Sometimes squaddies are obviously flying right next to you but when you look at the map when they talk on vox it could show them sectors away.  So TT darbars are not very helpful.

You still have yet to inform anyone wanting to play with you guys what country we should be moving to.  Some of us want to participate, but not on your team.  Some of us may need to switch countries and I've already been over how if we pick the wrong one we won't be able to participate.

Someone above mentioned that TT makes for a busy map.  There will be full dar bars everywhere.

So there are some reasons myself and others would like a little more information.  At least which country we need to be on to oppose your mission.

Could you imagine naming the target and having 200 cons at 30,000' diving in at you before your even halfway there?

Do you want a fight or do you want a milkrun?  I'd at least like a crack at the buff formations and escorts.  If your misshun ends up at 25k you shouldn't complain that people are attacking your buffs from a couple thousand feet higher either.

And lastly: you didn't call me a chimp but you insinuated that I am less capable than one.  Of course I'm going to take offense to this.  Your little troll about my extracurricular activities is pretty weak too.  Myself and others have asked nicely enough for a little info.

Will the LCA be announcing on 200 a target?  Or at least the country you'll be targeting so people who would like to make it interesting for you can actually find you guys?

So with this question you sir come in blaming my bong, telling me sign language monkeys could find your misshun, or that I'm not bright enough to know why your pissed off.  Honestly from the way I phrased my question I can only assume your a bitter old man with nothing better to do than get pissed off when an honest question is asked.


Would someone who is running this thing speak up on the issue?  I've had enough of rich's attitude.

-ninja'd by a bunch of posts-

thanks for the response 96delta.  I still want to voice that the target country needs to be announced a little more than "a few minutes before drop". 

[whiteman]

you guys need more escorts? i'll help out if you think you need more.
