• Rook Strategic Bomber Mission Alert - 10/21/08 •

[Twizzty]

Thanks for your thoughts Rich and the info Delta.

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.

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.

420Ace brought up two very interesting points though...

Bong,

I can't tell you who or what we will be attacking
until I get in the arena, see what map is in play,
what bases we hold and determine suitable targets.

I wish things were more static but the fluid nature
of the game makes determining these kinds of things
in advance problematic.

But don't worry, I will be letting people know who
we are attacking (but not what our targets are
at first).  But beware, rumor has it that there will
be some disinformation broadcast to deceive
our adversaries.  Some 'spies' may turn out to
be double-agents!

[bongaroo]

Cool.  I understand not knowing what the arena will look like.  Just give us the correct country to fight you from.  This below seems dumb too.  I'm trying to find a fun fight, not waste my night.

bongaroo,

Its not really that dumb.
Think about it.

Whatever you hear on your country channel or 200
should be verified against what you see by way of DAR
bars and contact reports.

Don't blindly trust what you see on 200 is all I'm
saying.

When you see me typing out what country we
will be visiting, you can take that as actionable intel.

[bongaroo]

whatever.  this is becoming more complicated than it needs to be.

[MjTalon]

I might not be making an appearance tonight. My computer constantly minimizes AH automatically and i'm trying to solve the problem. If not i won't be flying tonight. Sorry Delta

[96Delta]

Thats okay Talen.

If this one is a success and people have fun
there will be others.   

Thanks for the heads-up.
Hope you get things sorted out.   

[Babalonian]

I'd love to make this tonight but will likely just miss the launch time or be later (visiting someone at the hospital).  I'm hoping I can find the party whenever I do get on and can show up a little late to it with a heavy P51 or P38.  So if you see me asking for the Vox# at a suspicious time after the mission start, I swear my intentions are good.

[96Delta]

Thanks Babalonian,

I plan to launch at 9:00 PM EDT but you know how
things go sometimes.   

[zoozoo]

wow nice add up there ^ delta, gonna go to bed late and have no energy for school tomorrow 4 this 1. See you there 

[Babalonian]

Thanks Babalonian,

I plan to launch at 9:00 PM EDT but you know how
things go sometimes.   

Cool.  A late start would work to my schedule's favor, I'm even going to try and slip out of work 10-15 minutes early to try and beat the extra 30-minutes worth of 5pm traffic, but please by all means don't wait for me.

I'm looking forward to this, Thanks Delta.

[PFactorDave]

Well done Rooks.  That was certainly an impressive display!

Stuff like this makes Titanic Tuesday much more fun!

I don't think I've ever seen so many Jugs in one place in my life!

Bravo!

[Qrsu]

Very fun night guys. It was amazing to see ~150 B-17s in the sky supported by about 50 P47s/P51s. It was also great to see that most of the opposing aircraft were german iron... never seen so many 262's in my life.

  to all those involved and look forward to the next one. 

[stodd]

Wow that was an Awsome misson. I dont think ive ever seen 6 full enemy darbar's at once before! That was intense action tangling with all the pony's and jugs. Im not used to fighting at 25k+ si it was a gun learning experience. I hope you guys run more of these.
