12 July 2012 Thursday 8th Air Force Mission

[The Fugitive]

Thinking on moving the Mission up one hour to allow more people to fly.  This will make it easier on those who work and stuff.

Proposed new time is 9PM EST/8PM CST.  Sound off on this proposal.

would still be ok for me, and if it pushes the "Snail" out that might mean there will be a buff left for me to shoot down

b 9:00 is not good for me 

[Butcher]

9Pm works great for me or even 9:30pm.

Given it takes 30-45 minutes to organize and climb out - plus the mission time - think 9pm is the way to go, if not 9:30.

Why does it feel like moving the time to 2100ish is just going to give us more 262s to deal with then sets of buffs that we bring 

[Stampf]

Yes to the later start time.

I can bring a whole lot more 190's and 109's to the party a bit later.

[Zoney]

Yes to later start times.  9 pm good to go.

Need MOAR buffs

we can tell everyone not to bring 262 because 262 were very rare

People can bring whatever they want, however Kuya has asked to stick with the Luftwaffe birds to the timeframe of the Scenario (1943).

Thus being said, people will still bring Ta-152 and Me-262s, as would I.

I guess most players in the arena did not and do never know that there is a 'special' mission going on. If you are not tuned to CH 200 and don't track the BBS regularly (only very few players do), it's just another giant darbar you know about. And you will bring what you think is necessary, regardless of any 'arrangements' being done here in the forum.

We asked, not demanded that 8th AF apponents refrain from taking the 262.  I'm sure there are folks that did not get that information.  There are also folks that did get the request and chose to take it anyway.  I understand, believe me, I love that plane.  in this case it is just one mission, about one hour, on one day a week so if I was a luftwaffe pilot I would not take it.

I certainly do not want the use of the 262 to be disruptive including holding those who did/do fly it in contempt.  I will however ask again, respectfully, please do not bring a 262.

 

[Butcher]

Zoney,
can i bring a 38L with luftwaffe markings disguised as a 262?

Sure, but you suck in it.

And next week I want you to fly with the 8th again, don't get caught out of the 12 hour thingamabob

[DrBone1]

Kuya why not make it in the SEA arena find a dedicated CM to host it?

You will always get those guys that can't really handle themselves in a 190, or 109 that brings 262s for lack of skill.

We avoided the 163s by going to a base far enough away but still ended up with 3 262s that we had no chance in killing.

I can get a few of my Boys dedicated to this especially if its in the SEA Arena.

Then again you run into the problem of not many ppl wanting to switch over because its not being held in MA.


In my opinion it was a great fun time regardless if we lost all Bombers.

We can ask the ppl to not bring Jets but we all know those of lesser skill flying high altitude will always bring something that compensates for lack of skill.

My 262 was killed.
