I don't remember the last time I saw a mission with waypoints, multiple roles, feints, etc. Pretty much 99% are as described by Kvo75

The last three missions I planned were an all Spit IX fighter sweep, JU87's escorted by 109E-4's and F-4's and FM2's, F6F's and F4U's off a carrier.

Sadly I only post about one mission a year but I never have trouble getting people to join.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

:airplane: You can join the "Rooks" country, go to vox 171, the "Devil Dogs" run missions each night beginning around 6:30PM EST every day! We don't horde, but we do run presion type base capture missions.

Yeah.  It bites that no one hardly do those anymore.  Damned if I can get one together.  I have a FAR easier chance and accomplish a LOT more herding cats while pissing into the wind.

Rooks and Bishops run good missions, and starting soon they will be doing monthly huge missions of the month. Think of a pick up mission with more than 50 people who join, seen one with over 100 a few years back.

I suggest you do a tour of all three countries for a week each 

If you decide to do this know that you will be labeled a spy and most likely will never get a check6 again. :frown: Its been my expierience that most flyers expect you to join a country and STAY there without further exploration. I understand Bishop is the default country when you join so most stay there and they do like to run alot of missions.

In all seriousness, it really depends on time of day. Region plays into whos on and when.
If you build it, I will join. :cheers:


Odd... the AK's rotate every month to a different country every month.  Never had this problem you speak of. 

Each country has their generals, but like was already said it's time dependent.
