Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

"Does the 2nd life via the D3A count toward the 120 max of A6M5?" - No, counted seperately. 

The Fleet Hardness settings im still looking at, but by the time of the objectives being sent, it will be decided and posted.

Not sure how or why you came up with such a percent. It is tough to get them within 5% of a target split, .5% will be real hard.  :salute

As you know side split is done by the Admins and if they want to use .5%, do the math and the squad juggling then by all means have at it. Its always been tough to get squads split in a way that helps the event work, it might be a benefit to them.

The side split equates to a 5 percent #s advantage for the Axis (52.5-47.5) its something we aim for, but as you all know, FSO attendance #s cannot be strictly controlled, so dont worry about it. Its a "target" for side #s, thats all.

50/50 splits are the most common, look at the logs and see how many frames there were with exactly the same #s on both sides, with close to 500 players committed.

Rgr. I just thought it was odd that you would go try for 1/2 percents.  :salute

USS Monongahela AO-42  ahh that's a pretty famous tanker too.  Its just frustrating that so much revolved around these types of ships for special events and the current task forces are just not entirely suitable for replacement.. although we make it work.. poorly at times.

I love the naming system the US Navy used to have, until it became policy to name ships after politicians.



Finally got around to taking a picture.    :aok

Duxford Wing RAF updated!

FWIW... my grandfather [a certain Lt Col. Darrell "Bud" Gray, USAF (ret.)] flew a B24 (B24D, iirc) was involved in the Bougainville campaign, he flew a B24 (D model, iirc).  Most of his runs were vs Jap shipping, but a few were vs static defenses.  The runs vs the shipping were all "low level".  All of his escorts were RAAF/RNZAF P40's, and he never saw a Jap fighter ("in the air" he'd say with a smirk), but he did see and feel a lot of ack-ack.  On one mission, ack-ack got one wing bad enough to ruin airleron control and he also spoke of having windows smashed in.  After 18 missions (all up and down the "slot"), he was promoted to Major and was able to chauffeur a certain Lt. Gen Millard F. Harmon around the south PTO in an unarmed B24 called "My Ever Lovin' Dove".  He did that and ferried some B24's and B17's from San Fran to HI on a few occasions until early 1945, then g'pa was rotated home.

Guess what plane Duxford Wing requested to be able to fly at some point in the FSO?   ;)

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
