High Blue Battle Frame 1 Score

[Squire]

First off, I had to adjust the scoring and have the bombers as 10 pts each, 20 was and is too high, so thats adjusted. Often scoring is a tricky nut, because each FSO is a unique design.

The frame was an Axis win, and here is the breakdown:

AXIS:

Bombers shot down: 114 for 1140 pts
Fighters shot down: 87 for 174 pts

TOTAL: 1314 pts

ALLIES:

Fighters shot down: 127 for 254 pts
Ground Targets: 920 pts

TOTAL: 1174 pts

Allies just lost too many bombers in that frame.

*I will be adding two more targets to frames 2 and 3 to spread things out a bit more, but CiCs should be trying to keep the plane limit in mind and not "scrunch" the grps too close together in any case.

Hope it was fun, it was an action packed frame from the stats.

Thanks for giving us the results so quickly!

Like I mentioned in another thread, All the strat targets are several hundred miles from the nearest friendly field, a straight line and near full throttle is the only thing that will get the buffs there under T+60.

I would like to ad also that I never saw any other bomber group but my own Red Flight. They all went down the same corridor out of necessity, not swarm or horde tactics. I don't believe we were in visual range with any other group. The fact that the radar is at 8 miles left a huge gap between A35/A37 for the attackers to move right in unnoticed. We didn't see any attackers until the the bombers turned on the bomb run. We even had a pilot accidentally trip a radar circle and we still didn't see any fighters until we were near HQ.

Great night, Great fight. I'm kinda shocked at the Buff Losses, Red flight only lost a few Drones from what I saw and heard. Good Job Squire, the score was close. Allies have to keep the losses down and destroy more objects to pull this one off.

Still scratching my head about Buff losses, I ran though the logs at ahevents.org and only counted 102 Axis Bomber Kills. Not to much different from 114, I guess friendly fire may have been included in the Axis Kills?

I can send you an excel spreadsheet if you like.

48 B-17Gs
20 B-26Bs
16 B-24Js
18 B-25Cs

102 Bombers

I just checked the logs and this is what I get using the Firefox Add In "HighLightAll" which counts the repetitive occurrences of text strings on a web page.

50 Shot down a B-17G
20 Shot down a B-26B
16 Shot down a B-24J
18 Shot down a B-25C

104

I might have made a miscalc, but it wont effect the frame victor. I will dbl chk the #s and take it into account for the final tally. As for "hording" ect, I saw none of that myself, im just pointing out that both sides have to keep in mind the large # of a/c in the target vicinities, I was going to increase the targets from 6 to 8 anyways, with 480 players, we need the room.

Squire...in addition to the 104 Shot down there are are 5 kills awarded for pilots who were flying the bombers and crashed such as:

22:57:30 Awarded kill as shippr01 crashes.

The others were killbait, kaoz666, crusher1, wycowby

1 B17
3 B25
1 B24

The final number I come up with is 109 bombers either shot down or kills awarded via crashes.

Just wondering, but were the Allies penalized for failing to hit A71 within the first hour?

From what I can tell, the logs show that all damage at A71 occured after 23:00.

FSO typically starts at 5 After. 23:05 would be T+60.
