It really brings the realism factor to AH!

Sorry Karaya I gotta disagree with ya on this one, The behavior mentioned at the start of the mission was completely and totally uncalled for, I know in the overall scheme of things its just a game. However if a guy or gal for that matter acts like that when playing a game It kinda makes you wonder what kind of turd they really are in real life?

Turd full of peanuts is my guess

Uhh, first off the mission was posted on a Public BBS.   2nd of all, it is not hard to see a 3-4 sectors with full darbar's on a clipboard map near Strat.   So I doubt someone actually "ratted you out".

Well that's the point they rated us out when they knew it would come. Plus it was 10minutes before the buffs even got off the ground.

I don't think the Germans expected the B17s/B24s to come from Turkey

In the future maybe the threads started by Swoops should cease?   Regardless of what transpired, blatantly posting an intended mission against Bish/Knights at a given a time, is well.....pointless.

The mission had a couple times 150 B17s and 80 fighter escort with 5 full darbars of enemy fighters. Wow very pointless.

You've proven my point.   If you need 50 formations to pad Bomber scores......you're doing it wrong.   

[stealth]

Well my only point is. Don't rat out a mission no matter what it's just wrong. You say it's a game well why do it when it's just a game. That's my only case on the matter. When a squad wasted 2 hours out of 1 flight just to have it ruined isn't nice at all. The point of the mission is to have fun and do those awesome bomber and fighter missions.

Next time try sending 50 sets out to throw up a big dar and take out FHs while the 100 sets of buffs take the long way noe to target.

You got to be sneaky. And you have to know by now that if you announce a mission for all to see, someone is going to snitch it out!

I really don't understand how you can post time,date,target and not expect to be greeted by the enemy before you get to your target!
Another thing I'm wondering , is why if you knew you were ratted out, go through with the intended target. You guys have to have a backup target for just such a case.
It seems to me that the MOM planners spend all their time making fancy pictures to post instead of coming up with a good plan that will actually work.

Yes,but why rat us out anyway.

[uptown]

I agree snitching you guys out is not cool. But it's a fact that it happens every time. If you want to be successful you have to outsmart the chitheads. Simple as that.

Look, try this next time. Announce your big mission. But have the real mission that no one knows about. Send a million buffs to the factory and 6 sets of lancs to HQ. 3 high and 3 low from different directions and bases.

Folks will rat you out for the same reason a dog licks his nuts......because they can.

[Swoops]

The snitching isn't that big of a deal P0LRBEAR just wasn't aware of our Titanic Tuesday tradition and he got his feelings hurt when everyone decided to join my mission instead of his.  I wait until 2 min until launch to set the takeoff base anyways.  If you have the time to scramble an intercept and bounce us upon launching then I salute you.  The experience is just a chance to try something else fun in the MA where everyone can choose to or choose not to participate.  I fully expect and look forward to encountering enemy opposition every single week and endeavor to have as much fun as possible while attempting to herd together 30 - 40 buff formations and keeping them on target.  The people who join obviously share the same interest and whether or not the mission is viewed as effective or ineffective it serves its purpose if your the one having fun.

For the naysayers I guess you'll be glad to hear I won't be running the missions on Tuesdays next month anyways.  I unfortunately have to fly on Tuesdays next month as I had to bid a better line to get certain days off.  Rest assured I will return to Titanic Tuesday in June.  Hopefully in my stead Asleep1 will be running the missions and you will all still get to partake in the joy of the Titanic Tuesday EPIC mission.
