I don't understand all this fuss about trying to mask the bombers location.  Do you guys want 80 buffs all unopposed dropping ord on a strat somewhere for a milkrun?

Proper escorts and sweeps will do a world better than trying to hide the bombers.  Also if your still terrified of spies just don't tell anyone the target, just tell them what field to be ready at with the loadout they will need.  Form up, climb to 28k before getting close to the front line.  Give your escorts a rally, get your sweeps moving out ahead and have fun.

Pointless, thats how I would describe the feeling of chasing the well flown Ta's around in a Jug allready slow because I was trying to climb out to escort alttitude......especialy so if they started with even the slightest alt advantage, which regretably most of them did.

Laters Popycd  :salute

I have plans to manage this popycd.  Don't lose heart!
You will have another opportunity to even the score!  :t

Let me address your points in the order asked.

• We want a fair fight bong.  The DAR bar and spies
will insure that it is never unopposed.

• The strategy you proposed is under active
consideration.  It was difficult to apply such a strategy
early on because, being that this was the first [MoM],
I had no idea how many forces I would have to deploy.
That information wasn't available until 30 mins after the
mission was publically posted.  The short time frame made
changing the plan illadvised.  Crafting the original plan
took us an hour and a half!

• The spies we are talking about are those with duplicate accounts.
I have received reports that enemy planes upped and
headed for our launch bases as soon as I posted
the mission in the mission editor, planes from BOTH the
Bishops and Knights. 

All the 'spies' had to do was look at the posted missions to
learn where we were upping from and our course to target.
So hopefully you will see that it doesn't matter what course
we fly, there will be no secrecy because of these vermin.

But we have a few 'interesting' ideas...  :cool:

Thanks stampf, yes it was him, anyone going for the main pack was basicly anialated  :D

Watching all those uber 262's come into the pack and
go 'boom' or leave training smoke and missing parts
were some of the times that I laughed the loudest!

Many, many perkies vaporized in the combat box!

Like this guy!  Uhhhhh, somethin's missin' from ma airsplane?


Sorry to all you guys who lost perkies.   :D

I slipped in between the buffs and the escorts.  The buffs seemed unaware or disinterested in my tempest, I took little fire from the buffs.



Kappa's 262 makes for a good distraction



Still sneaking in. kill the pilot, easiest way to down a buff.



Lothmog to the rescue!  Lothmog gets me in his sights briefly but I slip away for a harried landing on a smoking, turning cv.
