Hangar Numbers

[earl1937]

  I run mission every day in the MLW arena. Sometimes I have as high as 45 to 60 bombers in formation. One of the problems I keep having and one that Aces High can correct real easy is this: NUMBER THE HANGARS AT A BASE, V BASE AND PORT! It is really dishearting to assign a hangar to someone, describe where it is located at the base and they still hit the wrong target. If AH numbered the hangars in the clipboard map, then, no matter which squad a person was in, everyone would know where hangar #2 or #4 is located.
What do you guys think?

Have all your men open clipboard map of target.  Assign hangers by compass orientation of targets.

I still don't know how assigning hangers is going to help him...

It doesn't get any simpler than that!

It doesn't get any dumber then that either.


Here's an old map of the Hangers for an EXAMPLE - Here's how you assign the hangers with 4 pilots:
Player A Takes out the VH.
Player B Takes out the North Fighter Hanger.
Player C Takes out the West Fighter Hanger.
Player D Takes out the South Fighter Hanger.

Ok lets say thats to hard to figure out.
Player A Takes out the VH.
Player B Takes out the 12 clock Hanger.
Player C Takes out the 9 clock Hanger.
Player D Takes out the 5 Clock Hanger.

Seriously do we need to have numbers painted on hangers now? 8 of 10 in a mission are still going to crash into the Hangers, or Trees anyway, what difference will it make?

you can assign numbers. but with 40 bombers you should hit every inch of thar base.  I was online 2 days ago. About 5 boxes of bombers dropped on our base and I thought to myself, how can these guys be so accurate? they hit 1 hangar and 2 acks.  rest of bombs fell between hangars and ack guns.

even if you assign hangars, how will you explain the orientation of the field and direction of your approach?.   that in itself is your problem.

Gotta hand it to the OP.  At least he admitted it.
