Change the time limits
« on: April 16, 2011, 10:38:37 PM »
For these long PTO operations change to extended time. Or a T+120 end of combat. With mustang and 47n drop tanks staying over japan would not be a problem. Last frame I had to break off a dogfight just torun home. It would have been nice to be able to carry the fight to the end and fly home after flying the 1st hour just to get into action. Give us a reward for flying these absurdly long distance missions. It wouldnt cost anything but 30min of time. Years ago that was how scenarios were done. Cause in this set up there was room for but 10 min of fighting 40 home and an hour 10 to get to bad guy land. Flying to northern japan just doesn't seem to pay.

Your reward is flying a plane 2x faster than the opposition, at 2x the alt the opposition is comfortable flying, with quick snapshot kill ability against ligher more fragile planes.

My group got sent in TBMs with no escorts against massive high alt N1K2 defenders... Never even got feet dry before being wiped out.

Count your blessings that you GET to run home because lack of fuel. That means you control all aspects of the engagement and can simply leave whenever you want.

Krusty take some English lessons and come back later. I was arguing to extend combat to t +120 because we have a/c that can accomplish this. It's not a post for you to wine about your night.

My favorite part was where you told Krusty to take English lessons but you have misspelled words in your post.

Fair cop. I misunderstood. However, as I stated, your reward is getting to fly those planes, getting to disengage at will.

Point of order - we have combat until h120 now .... don't we?
I get really really tired of selective realism disguised as a desire to make bombers easier to kill.

Sort of, But you wont land you will get killed when the arena shuts down. you can keep flying and fighting till T+120 but at T+121 you die.
