Welcome to This Day in WWII: Black Thursday!
All are welcome to play.
Runs on October 14 in Special Events I Arena at 5:30 pm Eastern time
-----------------------------------------------------------
Objective: Kill enemies and bomb targets.
Event duration: 2 hours, but play as much or as little as you want of that.
Unlimited lives, but arena enforces at most 2 deaths in any 7-minute span. It says "Your max deaths have been exceeded" until you can fly again.
At the first hour mark, everyone will land or be grounded, and we will restart the battle (so that another escort/intercept situation can be set up).
There will be large, variable, and changing crosswinds at 26k and above. This means that bombing accuracy for bombers flying at 26k and above is small or zero -- so if you want to hit anything, you should fly the bomber below 26k.
Allies (Bishops):
-- Air bases a96 (south air launch) and a97 (north air launch).
-- B-17G, P-47D-11 (no bombs).
-- No radar.
Axis (Knights):
-- Air bases a44 (south air launch) and a48 (south air launch).
-- Bf 109G-2, Bf 109G-6, FW 190A-5, all without bombs.
-- Sector counters.
Fighter hangars, fuel, and ammo bunkers will have a down time of 1 minute.
Points:
-- 1 point per kill.
-- Allies get also 0.1 points per object destroyed.
Side split 50/50.
