Final Frame of the Battle Over Germany Tonight

[ROC]

This is it.  The end of a long and grueling effort.  The last chance to push deep into enemy territory or defend against the invading forces.

The final frame of a major event like this leaves nothing on the table.  No more chances, no more opportunities, no "next time".  Every pilot matters, every bomb dropped counts, every plane shot down is vital to the success of either side.

This is the frame where one side will make a final push and pull it all together to secure a victory. 

Walkons are welcome to participate in this event.  Please visit the Battle Of Germany General Forum for writeup and schedule details.  If you do walk on, please understand that this has been an ongoing event spanning 7 frames and you will get assigned a slot, but you must be patient and simply wait while the regular players get their assignments and we find out who needs extra players.  You will get assigned, but if you are pushy and disruptive, you will miss out on a great event.

The arena locks at 9:30 pm Eastern US Time (Daylight Savings Time is in affect for parts of the US) and if you wish to fly, show up long before that so you have time to learn the event conditions.

Bring it on, some will arrive today knowing there are no more chances and put all they have into it, while others will wonder "why bother".  That is going to decide the day.

For those wondering how to spend their evening tonight, this is your last chance at an awesome event! At times over 400 planes have been engaged in combat, with engagements generally very even.

If you want to learn how to fight the P-51D, P-47M, Bf-109K-4, Fw-190D-9 Dora or the B-17, this is your final chance. We do have some Me-262 slots but those are already assigned to experten pilots.

See you tonight!

PS And if they all shot like 999000 it would be an accurate rumor, since they don't...bring it on!

If you want to experience what it felt like to fight a P-51D, P-47M, Bf-109K-4, Fw-190D-9 Dora or the B-17, this is your final chance by attending this reenactment of the Battle Over Germany, Tonight. We do have some Me-262 slots but those are already assigned to experten pilots.

See you tonight!

edited for better understanding of what this final frame represents 

saying it is the final chance to learn how to fight a "plane type" is a bit misleading

I recommend for anyone who is able to to come and experience the best thing about flight sims "Scenarios"

The past frames have been the most fun I've had in these games maybe ever.  See you there.

So, I'm new to Aces High (I am still within my two week free trial) and I am quite interested in joining this battle. But I had a couple of minor questions.

The first being, Am I even eligible to participate in this frame? Considering my Trial status.

The Second; When it says walkons are welcome, I assume I can just join the proper arena when it becomes available and Join the Rooks and request placement. Correct?

Also, I understand that the Launch time will be at 9:30 eastern, But how early should I really show up? A hour before the event. Two hours? I don't mind hanging around. But I want to make sure I am there in plenty of time so as to be placed without causing any undo trouble to the Organizers of the event..

I truly appreciate your time in answering any of these questions. And I did visit the AHevents.com website. I found some good information there. I just had these few questions.

Thank you Everyone.

Launch time is actually 10:00 pm.  The arena locks at 9:30 so the teams have a half hour to make sure their teams are all assigned to correct squads, orders are confirmed, details are finalized.

It would be a good idea to be in the arena 15 min to a half hour earlier so you can be brought up to speed on event conditions, general rules and such.

There is no problem with you being a trial member, that does not preclude you from attending, but I would point out that a scenario is not the training arena and is not the place to figure out how to use flaps, raise gear and such.  I am sure you have already passed that stage, but it warrants being said for anyone else reading. Those in need of learning how to fly within the game will be directed to the training arena.

TC, newer pilots have never engaged in squad opps. This is one of the best ways to learn lessons about group combat. In any case, nothing like participating in a merge of 100+ planes.

Thank you kindly Roc, It is appreciated. And I fully understand your concern about knowing at least the basics of Flying.

Do it.  This is why the main arena is just practice.  If you are not already addicted, this will do it for you.  If you have limited skills or not, as long as you can fly and land you are halfway there.  If you want to do this to get a bunch of kills don't bother, probably not going to happen. If you want to immerse yourself and possibly feel what some of the WW2 RL pilots felt, this is for you.  The best players in the game will be flying tonight.  Whom would you rather observe and learn from?

It's one of the reasons I even joined the game, I enjoy the Sim aspect of the game, over the Game aspect. Of course it is a game, I know that. But I am interested in the immersion.

Thanks for the Encouragement!

Debris, What is your in game name?
